  1. Seems time for Patton’s quote on wagons.
  2. I spent about 4 months in Russia. I got to see some sights than few Westerners have seen because I stayed with Russians that lived to travel. For about a month, I had an invitation to visit the Gilgit Valley, but then things literally blew up in Pakistani. I was offered an armed escort if I still wanted to come, but I passed.
  3. Not always, but things often happen in this country because someone is gaining economic advantage.
  4. Where will the rally grounds go?
  5. In one of the strangest episodes of my life, I flew from Moscow to Minsk and there was no one to check my paperwork. The airport was literally empty of people. I caught one soldier as he was headed out the door to go home and he gave me the necessary stamps.
  6. Trump so wants to be Putin.
  7. I don’t normally post political stuff on Facebook, but I made an exception for this. It has to give even the hardcore MAGA pause to think.
  8. Many people are saying the top three presidents are Washington, Lincoln, and Trump. Some experts are putting Trump at the top!
  9. Line it with Confederate statues, or ... Fill it in and build the Trump Arch on top, between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.
  10. He's an illegal immigrant?
  11. McDonald’s sausage biscuit and a hash brown.
  12. We were at the Marche de Capucins in Bordeaux this morning and enjoyed our oysters from Bassin de Marennes-Oléron with a glass of wine from Médoc.
  13. I picked up a prescription at Costco this afternoon and asked what I needed to do to get the jab this fall. Pharmacist told everyone who came in wanting the vaccine would get it. There is is still the question of how much BCBS will cover.
  14. The reporter was likely referring to Ukrainian civilians. Unfortunately, yesterday’s atrocities are so… yesterday.
  15. I don’t follow anything where I might see Dotard or hear his voice. Did any reporters remind the viewers that Putin blew up an apartment building of his own citizens so he could win an election ?
  16. Is he going to require the government to pay licensing fees?
  17. The Soviets placed commissars amongst the troops to insure adherence to the party. For the U.S. party that continually accuses the Democrats of being communist, the Republicans sure do a lot of communisty things.
  18. I've booked to a tour to the Dune du Pilat. Thanks for the very good recommendation. I also booked a chef-led tour of the Marché des Capucins so I think our excursion schedule is not filled.
  19. Dude, I spelled it correctly.
  20. Anyone stay there recently? My wife won a trip in a benefit auction. We have a city excursion, a wine-tasting tour of Saint-Emilien, and a river dinner booked as part of the package. We are looking to fill an additional 2 1/2 days.
  21. At some point you would think the redistricting scam would break down. We can at least hope.
  22. Look for upcoming laws that will throw a lot more African-American men in jail. There’s a lot of produce to be picked.
  23. “This is not the time to make things political” can almost always be interpreted as “I’m worried this will hurt me politically.”
