Sgt. Pepper Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 So me and my buddy are going to see King's X in New Orleans on October 26th at The Howlin' Wolf. So I got on Expedia and bought a plane ticket to fly to from Newport News to Mobile where my buddy lives. I had a job in the Coast Guard, and for 4 years and I flew at least 4 to 6 times a month. Back then I practically lived in Atlanta International Airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 About a year ago my brother-in-law got COVID on a flight from Hartford to Chicago. That's all I have to say about that. About your flight to Mobile, I'd fly in a heart beat today to see that concert in NOLA, but in general, I hate flying, esp. with connecting flights. When I've flown to NOLA in the past, I've been lucky enough to have direct flights, and I actually like the airport there. Don't know anything about the airport in Mobile. Have a blast Sgt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its gonna be killer. We were originally going to meet up in Knoxville, TN for the show in April, but you know the drill. So now I'm flying to Mobile. Spending a few days with my buddy. Then we drive to NOLA for the show and some Big Easy, and then back to his house for a few day and then home. There is no doubt we will be drinking beer and hard liquor and taking a few tokes off the vape pen with stuff that is illegal in Louisiana, but legal in Virginia in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing how the fact that your BIL got COVID on a flight....what has that to do with the lockdown? I've was locked down since early March, 2020...... went out once a week to get supplies......dipped myself in Lysol every time...... wore a mask (not for the 'science' but because it was required of me)....I still got COVID......it kind of gives me a sense of freedom....I can't get it again.....I can't spread it.......I'm probably better off than those who choose to get the experimental vaccine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to kick a dead horse. I'm good at that. The fact is that the lockdown significantly slowed infection... that is not even debatable. The next thing is that the vaccine is no longer experimental. There are literally hundreds of millions of administered vaccines, and the data confirms the vaccine's reported efficiency. The lockdown was not about you or my brother-in-law. It was about responsible behavior and doing the best we could to prevent the spread, not just to ourselves, but to others. In my area that was saturated with COVID (the highest reported cases per capita the country) mostly because people ignored recommendations, those who didn't get it were locked down and minimized their exposure. And now that my wife and I have been vaccinated, we feel the same freedom you do. It is absolutely untrue and irresponsible to say that the lockdown didn't slow infection rates. My apologies to Sgt. if this thread gets shutdown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies to Sgt. if this thread gets shutdown. No biggie it happens. As a matter of fact my thread just got squashed the other day. I was just in Little River, SC over the weekend and Carolinians especially the South ones don't give a fuk about masks, and vaccinations, and all the other stuff associated with CV-19. To them it is a big hoax orchestrated by the media. When I go down there it makes me laugh. All the senior citizens driving around in their golf carts with Yeti cups of 80 proof booze in them. How many of them are no longer here cause they thought this was just a joke? Ted Nugent did till he got it and cried like a baby when he did. Edited June 22, 2021 by Sgt.

Crawfish are tasty but I'm not sure when they are in season and a lot of work for a small bite. And who doesn't love seeing a boobie? Edited June 22, 2021 by Sgt.
