Not too far from my neck of the woods actually. So pretty, that area. Dangerous, best to drive there with 4 wheel drive in winter weather. https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/2018/10/10/tennessee-dragon-highway-129-crashes-what-know/1588036002/

Last night... I was playing Valheim (on Steam - multiplayer - Vikings meets crazy monsters and such) game with my kids online. Night before went to an actual party, it is SO WONDERFUL that we don't have to stay at home because of COVID and we can go out and Party again!!!

Well, I really don't understand the woke terminology, it just doesn't make sense to me. (Let's go Brandon baffles me too, but I DO UNDERSTAND who and what a Karen is.) Picard... I suppose I am a trekkie, tend to watch anything Star Trek related, and well this show is better than nothing, AND they bring back the old gang here and there so there is that. As for that musical bit, that was cool, who knew she had such a great voice (for such a nerdy Scientist who is crazy and now seemingly Owned by a lizardy type of Mother Master Borg. Point is, it is... ergo maybe watch it? lol I still don't get the whole "Woke" saying. Makes no sense. (Awake, awakened, Asleep, wtf is this Woke saying? Here is what online Dictionary from Google Search has to say about it. ----> yet somehow, I don't think that is what folks who say are meaning? hmmmmmmm

I know someone who has a closet (er, flat, lol, 1 br) in Manhattan, I will contact him. He is moving to Charleston, SC as he now can work from anywhere. Would Manhattan work? (It is really close to Grand Central Station, which is so cool.)

HOWDY Where You Been?

Congrats! Makes sense! You are fun, nice, a great player and you have joined in with a great bunch of xtreme idiots

Have fun, but damn... be careful! Even I would probably not go on that trip, and that is saying something.

Bless your heart!!! Yes, it is hard to play when times are rough. I have found when things are hard, I retreat to my search for silly, funny, different to get my mind away from troubles. Here are some of the things I have found to make me forget some things for a bit of time anyhow... ---> Most Xtreme Elimination Challenge (oldies but goodies, so so silly) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Extreme_Elimination_Challenge And then those things on You Tube about funny babies, funny animals ... sample --> Hope that helps.

Our thoughts are with you, long live Ukraine

OK here is my take on this current situation... now, thanks Putin, the doomesday clock is really, really close to midnight. It looks as though Putin is crazy (Absolute power corrupts absolutely) and living in denial-land. He has all those nukes... Apparently, he is the richest man on earth, so this isn't a money-grab. (What happens when you steal Russia's entire asset base unchecked.) No this is about power and control, and his now insane ego. Not good at all. So yea, we should be concerned, VERY CONCERNED. Humans, the most dangerous species on earth. And this one, Putin, he has left common sense-land, and entered into crazy "If it doesn't go MY way, then everyone and everything can just go to hell, which I will ensure happens." https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/07/13/485819334/the-madness-of-humanity-nuclear-weapons-and-m-a-d Dictators and dictator wannabes - just fuck off.) BOOOOOOOO 2 CENTS

Funny, I am not a fan of the clap at this, clap at this, stand up for this and that... gets REALLY tiring and silly imho... AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT, I really really really don't like it when we go to a concert and as soon as the performer comes to stage, everyone stands up FOR THE REST OF THE ENTIRE CONCERT!!! W T F!!! Sit down, fools! Shesh.

I think the Russian people are like us Americans... some think one way, some think an opposite way - just look at how different the Republican ideology is nowadays compared to the Democratic ideology! So, some Russians think Putin is just wonderful and "would storm their capitol for him," and the other half is horrified, bewildered, afraid, and hugely disappointed in their dictatorship government. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/russian-guardian-readers-on-ukraine-invasion ABOUT DICTATORSHIP OF RUSSIA --> https://www.economist.com/briefing/2021/11/13/vladimir-putin-has-shifted-from-autocracy-to-dictatorship

ppppppoor ppppppiglet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock and the path to World War 3 gets closer and closer. . . https://www.atomicarchive.com/media/videos/oppenheimer.html just sayin' Disclaimer: (I grew up in a secret town built by the government. I grew up worrying about such things as future nuclear wars, World War 3, human nature, history repeating itself over and over and over.) DANGEROUS, CRAZY TIMES - brought on primarily by just one single human being. and for what?

Well, I think at this point everyone can agree... PUTIN SUCKS!

How about "OOOPS, I Slid-it Again"

HOWDY

I guessed England (this time of year it looks like that, but haven't been to Greenwich, so had no idea of specifically where you were, but yep, England ... chilly, wet, and oh so wonderful imho.) As for the photo of your black shoe and blue jeans, so THAT is what you look like lol. Adorable as I suspected. Did you get to see the White Cliffs of Dover? One day I am going to head East - Greenwich, Dover, etc. ==> https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/travel/england-southeast-dover-cliffs-eastbourne-budget.html

One thing to consider when hoarding meat in your freezers... what if the power goes out? Would all that meat rot? 2 cents (The olden days they smoked their meat for long term storage.)

good grief... lol (eyes rolling) of all things to get up in arms about... meanwhile a dictator (friend of previous President whom shall not be named (Fake made up name original name rhymes with harumpf)) is about to invade another country. And not very many seem to be concerned about this. Beware whom you worship, what and whom you are standing for, and what the hell is really going on. May I suggest today's reading assignment --> Animal Farm

lol HAHA, btw, where is Twit?

Women should rule the world, just sayin.
