July 17, 1821, Spain ceded Florida to the United States. At the time of this donation, it must have seemed like a good idea but today, I'm wondering, given today's world of masks and Covid 19 vaccinations what the protocol might be for the Return of a State Freely Given . Florida rates of Covid are rising when most States are reporting fewer bad numbers.
A number of these rising numbers of infection could be due to the Governor of Florida NOT making the hordes of Spring Break visitors wear masks and keep their distance. Photos of beach goers, crammed in together on the sand are chilling to see.
To see just how crazy the residents can be read the novels of Edna Buchanan or Carl Hiaasen. Guy fixes a missing arm by attaching a weed whacker as a replacement in a Hiaasen novel. Buchanan's heroine is a crime reporter for the major Miami newspaper. They're great reads, summer or not.
