    How are you able to breathe with that mask on your face for hours inside a casino? Have you thought about that? The only thing stopping me is the mask. My mask gets my face overheated in a matter of minutes. I am in good shape and no under lying conditions. Until the mask is gone I will not step foot in a casino. For me a bad experience.

    Being cattle on a plane is bad enough in normal times. Now, no way for me!
    One of the country's top virologists caught Covid on a plane, despite mask and wiping down his surroundings, and wound up in the hospital for a week.

    Why fly? Its probably more dangerous than going to the casino. Hop in your car and head due north until you hit the U.P. It's probably one of the lowest covid places in the country right now. It is even lower than Montana even after adjusting for less population.

    You are right. Most likely I will drive. The spouse is working so unable to come along. I once found someone nice looking to take a trip with me but an hour into the trip, she took over the car audio and our musical interests were not compatible. She could not compensate. This time, Zi am driving by myself. Just have not decided which trip to take.

    Zee, I have the perfect road trip for you. You could either drive or fly part way. Here it is.

    Road Trip Along the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota
    https://www.outdoorproject.com/trave...-lake-superior

    You could make this into a blackjack scouting trip if you want. It would be pretty safe to just walk though a casino for 5 or 10 minutes to see what conditions are like as long as everyone is wearing a mask. You wouldn't have to play. I don't see this as any different than going to the grocery store, and northern MN like the U.P. is on the low side of covid cases.

    If you fly into MSP you could check out the Grand Hinckley casino and Mille Lacs casino and Black Bear casino on the way up to Duluth. On the other hand you could just fly into Duluth but you won't find a nonstop flight.

    Then when you get way up north check out these casinos.

    My son loves going to the north shore of MN. I have been there like 50 years ago so I don't remember much. I think I've been to Gooseberry Falls.

    Its a 10 hour drive to Duluth, MN, the starting point. Don’t know how safe it is, an old brown man with a bright red sports car at all those motels and small towns.

    Aren't you from Missouri? If you live anywhere near St. Louis, you don't value safety.

    Yes but I don’t get the “You don’t value safety”. What is that all about?

    Its about you living in the most dangerous city in the USA.

    I can go out anytime day or night and feel safe. Of course, exceptions do happen, but not very often.

    On a private plane? I am suspecting a commercial plane, like American Airline.
