Best Of

I read a memoir written in the French and Indian war period by a captured French solder about those falls. He described the falls as having hundreds of eagles soaring and picking up the fish that were killed at the bottom.

I went there 70 years ago, should be on the bucket lists for all. You both are looking great!

Would you just look at those two lovebirds...

Not a scripture, but here's something I thought maybe this thread's denizens would appreciate. I used to enjoy the Cathedral Quartet and saw them in person a handful of times. They had such a great mix of talent, humor, and ministry.

I thought driving a dual axle stick on an 80' bucket truck over the Grapevine after it had just been reopened after being plowed without any previous instruction was niche.

Those rental facilities will give anyone the keys to their trucks, I guess.

I generally don't want any viewpoint in the education system. Just the facts good and bad would be great.

What is fact? Have you ever seen a tectonic plate or the big bang? I haven't. What caused the civil war? People in Mississippi still claim "state's rights" despite their secession convention records being completely contrary. Can't teach civics, English, science, health, PE, or even math without subjective content.

I don't think that anyone wants to see just facts. I think that everyone wants to see facts that they approve of and agree with.

Military, interstate highways, national parks, mail. Is there anything else they need to be spending money on?

Yeah yeah yeah. Until the first guy on TV is cutting off his Weiner or making an IED on live TV because the FCC doesn't exist. Also don't need the fda until there's listeria in all of our lunch meat or DHS until there's another 9/11.

Intelligence? Who cares? HUD? Nah, I'm sure that they'll be fine. And I'm sure they'll stay in their neighborhoods when they're not.

Oh, and I've never met an uneducated person who thinks we need a department of education, but that's just my personal experience.

These guys are just grooming us by normalizing and mastering public misinformation like Uncle Jimmy does with a 6 year old boy. Unfortunately, some people in this population are already too comfortable giving Uncle Jimmy groin massages when he visits. Wake up people.

After a day of window shopping in Half Moon Bay, we stopped at the library to use the bathroom before heading back to camp. I picked up Invisible for a few dollars from their books for sale rack and just finished it off.

I also saved some of my old books from the storage unit sale, I'm going to reread this one which I haven't read in a few decades.
