  1. In DC. GW campus went on lockdown while I was there having lunch.
  2. 4,996 in about 3 weeks in a brand new Jetta from Enterprise. Was taking my daughter to visit universities on the East Coast. Suit cases in the back seat, camping gear in the trunk. As I am about the leave the clerk says "treat her well, she is brand new to us." "Sir, " I replied, "I am going to beat the shit out of this car." Loved driving that car for sure, no wrecks, but damn it stunk like snack food and feet when we dropped it off.
  3. A damn dagger into Laker's heart.
  4. Seems like Elon will not be vacationing down under anytime soon. Funny, a South African known to control what his people can say, complaining about censorship. SYDNEY, April 23 (Reuters) - Elon Musk lashed out at Australia's prime minister on Tuesday after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney, and said the ruling meant any country could control "the entire internet". At a hearing overnight, Australia's Federal Court ordered X, formerly called Twitter, to temporarily hide posts showing video of the incident a week earlier, in which a teenager was charged with terrorism for knifing an Assyrian priest and others. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australia-pm-calls-musk-arrogant-billionaire-after-court-orders-x-hide-church-2024-04-23/
  5. If any two would, it is these two. They both joined in 1952 and have almost gone at it a few times. Cyprus being the big one that jumps to my mind.
  6. Pretty cool. Finn the Bat Retrieving dog retired.
  7. You know I am not a Yankees fan, but that was messed up. But yeah, a lot of teams win without their manager. I mean, it is not like he got banished to Siberia and the team is in mourning ala aggy.
  8. Rough early game. Oakland vs. Yankees. Come on Meteor.
  9. where I agree with most of your post, not this. I think it is sorta a precondition for enlistment. The very few Russians and others who joined them all converted.
  10. It was run by a central agency who answered to the internationals. Bosnia could request funds, for say teacher salaries. It would be discussed and if approved, funded. Again, not the same model for Ukraine, very different situations, but it existed, was supported, and provided central oversight. It kept the politicians out of it. A lot more administrative, etc. Bunch of damn finance people and engineers.
  11. Nah, in this instance they make more money, or others do, making sure it is stored "properly."
