I generally NEVER go anywhere ANYONE congregates except for family and friends and my Church. The 0bowMao years taught me that close to half of the general public are morons and act like animals at the drop of a hat. Wish I wasn’t so jaded, but it is what it is. It’s another reason why I go to one movie every 18 months or less and only when the morons are at work and school.
I’m generally with you. I vacation in the mountains, or hike on uninhabited islands in Michigan. Crowded beaches are a nightmare. However strange, I still enjoy walking through large cities like NYC, Shanghai, etc. People are going about their business, not necessarily taking up space.
