I've been asking around, and looking around, for stuff in that direction and a couple people have told me to think about 1000 Islands.
we are still going to do a weekend get away but might head to the beach or stay with family to cut costs.
Ah. 1000 Islands is farther east, so it's probably a lot closer to you.
And just starting to look at it, it doesn't look too expensive.
How is it?

They do also have maps of malls too.
I had to go to a huge one around here, and it was nice being able to find where the store was in the mall, and I could park right near it.

That's cool.
I may end up going there toward the end of the summer.

I don't care who knows where I'm at. It's pretty simple.
Mon - Fri: Work -> home
Sat: Home -> Stacy's -> Bar
Sun: Home
Occasionally I hit the grocery store and Lowes.
That is my life.

These guys sound like complete fools when discussing constitutional freedoms.
At one point a caller said "Our government was created on the principles of the constitution" and Covino cut him off an said "Who cares?"
What ignorance.
It is not that the government is going to turn on us tomorrow, it would be a long gradual thing. To think that your government doesn't have the ability to turn on you is ignorant and naive.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, just ask Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China or North Korea.
The possibility exists in ANY country, and giving up your freedoms is just one baby step closer.
