I wrote about how core to their identity being unvaccinated is to the many people I have met in the Back row who are unvaccinated intellectualinting.substack.com/p/among-the-unโ€ฆ
I am writing about people over 50. Making stuff more complex is โ€œweightlifting brosโ€, back row very fit young men armed with tons of data & skepticism of health sciences forged from yrs of doing their own thing. They buttress anti vaccine crowd despite very different risk profile
(For those asking, no I myself won't be getting a booster. Since I got a rather un-fun, & rare, side effect from the original vaccine)

As someone who has literally been walking around country, I can tell you Virginia wasnโ€™t a fluke. Unless something radically changes (mostly with a Covid crisis they canโ€™t control), Dems gonna get crushed in 2022

Not sure there is really anything they can do about it though. 1/
It isnโ€™t that anyone particularly loves GOP, they mostly donโ€™t. It is that the country feels โ€œoffโ€ & stuff feels โ€œweirdโ€. Again. Most of this is about a Covid crisis Biden pitched the electorate he was gonna get under control & return us to Normal. But normal hasnโ€™t returned 2/
Also a lot of people jumped on team Biden because he wasnโ€™t Trump. They never loved him, but he wasnโ€™t Chaos, ranting, & volatility. He was a normal dude promising normal stuff. But That hasnโ€™t, in their minds, materialized. Stuff is still crazy, weird, & wrong. 3/

I get the downtown renovation project (good!) has a bench every x feet requirement (also good!), but could you have thought a little more about placement. And maybe sat in them first
Current view is kinda nice because the idling garbage truck & F450 filling up, are gone
Another great view

My essay on walking twenty miles across Orlando.

Sixth in my Walking America series

intellectualinting.substack.com/p/walking-amerโ€ฆ
I have come to appreciate every city I have walked across, but Orlando has been the toughest.

The overall landscape of the city is brutal, and does its best to stamp out any community, soul, & beauty.

But it is still there. Because people need all of those.
Next piece in the Walking America series is Florence SC

Then who knows. Maybe Waterbury CT, maybe Bridgeport. Maybe Houston, Dallas, El Paso. So many towns, so little time.

So begins my 17 miles across Orlando. In a McDonaldโ€™s with a homeless guy & fashionable Japanese tourist. Different place (grew up near here) then where else I walked so far. Less planned, more ad hock dealing with growth

If I make it will end up somewhere north of here tonight
Post coup, Official name is now Democratic Peopleโ€™s Republic of Chocolate
Man. I just wanna be kept dry & out of sun. Not part of some art project to pretend most of the area doesnโ€™t have the feel of an airport grounds

Had my Substack for a month, & so far got a lot of nice feedback

When i started it didnโ€™t known where exactly I would take it, but now I do

I am going to focus on the walking America series & since I do more in these towns than just walk expand it from just short essays 1/
So in addition to a short essay about what I saw/thought walking across X, I will add some things like โ€œbest dive bar in Xโ€ & โ€œbest strip mall ethnic food in Xโ€, best McDonaldโ€™s

My tastes are not about best food or best IPA, but about best vibe, โ€œambiance, & community 2/
I donโ€™t want it to be a normal travel thing, but I am a traveler, so. It canโ€™t be entirely not that

Also, I will be expanding to stuff outside of US, as COVID restrictions lesson. Like walking in Quito, Istanbul, & Bucharest. And hopefully eventually a long walking in Vietnam 3/
