The First Three Borders

According to a recent Gallup poll, most Americans visit the library twice as often as they visit the cinema. Most reported ten library trips in 2019, compared to five movie outings. On average, they claimed to have attended five sporting events, four musical or live theatre performances, and 3.7 visits to national parks. Museum visits and casino trips were tied at 2.5, theme park outings were 1.5, and zoos were dead last at .9. I can’t think of a single sporting event we saw in 2019. We didn’t set foot in a casino, though we did stop in Vegas. We saw ten musical/theatrical performances, and that doesn’t count the ones we ourselves performed. We took one Disneyland vacation, but it lasted three days. We have (and use) memberships at the zoo, the aquarium and several museums. But we’re at the library and the movie theater almost every single week. Maybe it’s time to schedule a national park trip.
