    I am close to the point of wishing we all had our own private pay to enter bubbles with no inter connectivity.

Those are called bars, sewing circles, book clubs, debate clubs, cars and coffee, bowling leagues, etc. They're awesome. Unfortunately, Covid kind of put the brakes on all that.

For me they’re called mountains ;)

Agree except maybe on bowling leagues. I have complicated thoughts on that one.

Complicated thoughts about bowling leagues sounds interesting. My only cultural reference in that regard is the Big Lebowski. Is that representative?

Hah, no, though in a way only the Coen brothers can capture, yes. This goes back to the 50s/60s and the rise and fall and rise and current state fall (again) of bowling in the United States. I grew up bowling, bowled collegiate, and have lots of words to spare on this one between bowling leagues, USBC, the PBA, Bowlero, and the book Bowling Alone.
