My wife's yoga instructor's parents (from Canada)....

...flew down to Florida to check on their winter condo.

They had to take their car in for repairs while they were there.

The mechanic asked why they were wearing masks, and said that if anyone tried to get him to mask or get vaccinated he'd pull out his gun.

They've decided to sell the condo.

1. Wait. Did they fly their car down too?

[brooklynite]

2. No, they keep a car down there as well.

3. My parents just sold their condo

Mom had to go down there for a few days a couple of weeks ago to clear out personal items because they hadn't been there since March of last year. She's still freaking out about 1) how good her timing accidentally turned out to be and 2) how few people wore masks. But I guess Pompano Beach isn't Montreal.

4. Somebody mentioned the other day

that if Florida were an independent country, it would probably be under a travel ban from the US.

6. Well, I would feel more comfortable visiting some countries on CDC's high transmission list

than Florida. A lot of these countries have lower infection rates compared to Florida.

5. We Canadians have little time for fools.

8. +infinity (and beyond)

7. They are brave souls to visit Florida right now.

[we can do it]

9. Would have taken car somewhere else.

11. Lol, more interesting inflection point than most. Most folk sell their

vacation condos in FL as they get older anyway. Trading Canada's winters for Florida's is no longer worth it to people arrived at a time of life when they spend more and more time indoors and neither shovel their own snow nor do much swimming or bicycling. And when their snowbird friends are increasingly frequently selling their condos to stay home close to family and physicians.

I hope this couple took their car elsewhere and also that they used NextDoor or whatever to inform their community about this asshole. I might let off some of these increasingly embattled and defensive idiots, but not this one.
