Re: What are you reading?
I'm reading my Dad's letters from the time he went into the Army in1943 till he arrived home in 1945. He was the only survivor of his mortar squad when his unit was overrun in the winter during the Battle of the Bulge. He was trapped in his foxhole for ten days with Germans all around him. He was lucky.
My Vietnam memoir is based on the letters I sent home from my war and that he saved for me. My sister gave me a box with his letters last week.
I'm making notes as there may be another book in me.

Re: you can't make this stuff up
how lame is this?
Jeff Landry, Trump’s envoy to Greenland, visited the island’s capital this week and brought gifts for local children. What two things did he try and give them?
Landry offered the children MAGA hats and chocolate chip cookies. He even told some that if they came to his mansion in Louisiana, they could have “all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat.” The children weren’t interested.

Re: I hate having to get a new cell phone.
My brother didn't get a cellphone until his job gave him one and forced him to use it. Was not happy being forced to be a "cellphone zombie" as he calls them.
