Vancouver today
Many on the forum must have the same experiences that I have. I need to vent every once in awhile.
Arrived in Vancouver after a month away. Covid measures did not exist where I’ve been. A real relief.
My cousin warned me to be brace myself for what I was about to see. More mask wearing than a month ago!
Had my annual eye exam appt today. Masks were still a “thing” at the office. I wanted to be seen, so WTF.
Somehow Covid came up in the waiting area. (20 people waiting. A big clinic). Gee, how’d that topic come up???? 🙂
An elderly Snowbird gentleman told me about his recent Winter spent in Palm Desert at his RV park. It was all about how he and his friends had a low grade cold most of the Winter. Not pleasant.
He was clueless about why. Quad shotted.
A rather loud gentleman heard the conversation and told us he will never take another shot of that “stuff” after his wife came down with an ongoing neurological adverse effect right after her last shot. He tells all his friends about it and has some visit his previously healthy wife to see for themselves. He said most are now done with the shots. Sorry Turd you ain’t gonna get many takers this Fall. 40-50% at best and a true IQ test at that.
It horrified the elderly Snowbird. I couldn’t help it and said that I would never take the poison. I believe most people heard our conversation. Shortly thereafter, the Igor Chudov Substack about the UK Covid shots for under 12 was dropped into my inbox. Of course I had to show the headline to both the Snowbird and the loud disgruntled gentleman. You can only imagine their reactions when I said it’s just beginning and the tort lawyers will have a field day. I got called in at that moment. I would have loved to hear the loud guy pontificate on that. 🙂 He likely crucified the shots.
Great Story Columbia…You are right in the MIDDLE of Everything
keep em coming
Another good story, thanks Columbia.
It was Fall Fair and Rodeo weekend here in our little town. The fair was kyboshed these last two Labour Day weekends,
so it was darn fine to see the crowd out and about. The rodeo viewing stands were filled to overflowing with cheering faces as usual, nary a mask in sight. Although the town population is only 1700, total attendance at the 3 day event averages 10,000. The town is so packed with people we actually have to stop at the stop sign down by the post office – there might be cross traffic.
We need to do something about Vancouver. Here’s my suggestion. We hire a really big mechanical digger and we trench all the way around the city. Then we get a couple tug boats and hook on to “Vancouver City Island” and pull it out to sea.
We can anchor it in the breakwater off the coast near Seattle. I think both communities would be happy with that arrangement.
Ya Vancouver is f***ing unbelievable. Still 1 of every 3 people is parading around wearing a face rag. Today I saw a woman walking by herself down Main St wearing not only a mask but a full face shield as well. They wear them alone in their cars. Riding a bicycle. And the stores? Littered with idiots masked to the hilt.
I like being in the city, but it’s getting awfully depressing to see this level of fear and overt willingness to comply.
Even some of the shops have signs on the door: “no entry unless you are wearing a medical-grade face mask”. To those, I say “fuck you, you just lost my business forever”
