spring break attendees, hopefully many had the shot, but alas, the measles infections may still spread.

but when we were researching colleges for my 2023 night school graduate, every one of the schools where we applied (public and private) required the MMR and meningitis vaccines.

Florida, DeShitstain and Co. have been screwing the good ole USA since 2000. I would avoid any southern state from texass east. You certainly don't want to be pulled over by one of those state or local poh-poh's on the highway. Talk about a crap shoot with the devil No thanks.

And Virginia Beach is as far south as I go. About 25 years ago, my husband's company was going to transfer us to either here or South Carolina. He asked me, " What if it's South Carolina?" I said, "I'll miss you. "

I wouldn't want to go to Florida either and my parents live there.

Canadians might like Mexico or the Caribbean better.

Five of us rode down in a van to Daytona and shared a couple hotel rooms in 1980. I don't know anyone who flew down to the Caribbean, Mexico, or anywhere else for that matter.

Based on the picture in the OP, it doesn't look like anyone is flying anywhere either.

The media do use pictures to reflect their story with out being overtly deceptive. The truth has to be in the content and context, so if less Candian Kids are going to Florida, than it isn't deceptive.

I am sadden that the bloviating orange entity, has chosen to pick fights with our neighbors and friends. I'm glad that they decided not to come here. Florida has changed over the years, it's not for everyone.
