I was living in a place I grew up, and didn’t really like. My wife had moved there, and she didn’t like it either. But I kept getting better and better jobs, so we couldn’t leave.
Then I became self-employed, and could work anywhere. We also got a small inheritance that gave us a temporary cushion. We took a small vacation to Florida, and decided that we could live on vacation for the rest of our lives, so we moved.
Since then, Florida has become MAGA HQ, and the state government is psychopathic, so now we’re thinking about leaving, but it was okay for about 20 years.
Florida is the only place I’ve ever been someone tried to start a fight with me at a bar, more than once. Like, comically insecure middle aged dudes who thought I was trying to ‘steal their seat’ when I was standing ordering a drink. This also happened at a hotel bar that was like near-empty, which made it even more weird.
What a shithole. I’m so glad I never have to go there again. I used to go once a year for work until recently.
I went a couple of time in the early 2000s, and seemed way more chill back then. but so was the entire country.

If it was at a hotel isn’t it likely the other person was also a traveler???
