“US travel is just disgusting currently.”
I’m 68. I remember when people dressed up to travel. Even going on the bus required a hat and gloves for women and a suit with tie for men. Look at the photos of Dr. King leading a march. The marchers all look like they’re dressed for a wedding. Heck, I’ve been to weddings where the people are in t-shirts. Society has lost its grace.
Not that old, but my gosh, I still try to dress with some decorum when I travel. I’m sorry, but if you board a plane in shorts and some ratty t-shirt perhaps you should have checked out Greyhound, or whatever other bus line is still available.
IMO, you can dress comfortably, but you can also maintain some dignity. Also, perhaps dressing up a bit raises the morale of those around you.
And by the way, germs have been with us since Adam left the Garden. Lighten up.
“I’m 68. I remember when people dressed up to travel.”
My grampa, born in 1890, always insisted the family ride in the smoking car — he said no germs could survive the tar coating every surface.
Once upon a time.
No interest in flying any longer.
