So THIS is the song PitbullPete sings. lol AH HA!

This is for you TIMMMMMMY

I LOVE BOONE, NC. It is currently 170 miles away from me about 3 hours drive - winding roads a bit why it takes so long. BOONE, NC is so... Scottish imho (best that can be found for a town in North Carolina, I KNOW, nothing like Scotland, but still, seems Scottish to me a bit.) Where I learned to ski and my love affair with skiing began. GREAT INN! LOVE IT! Thanks Crimson Scottish Highland Games this year info --> https://gmhg.org/schedule/ My hubby is half scottish, and I am scottish from the McCrimmon family on my moms side. (On my dad's side, my great, great, great, great grandfather's will showed a rifle given to him by Daniel Boone, lol. My ancestor was quite a man. Scottish descent but born in Ireland. "First white man in Kentucky, was the leader of 12 in two canoes went down Miami River to Licking, they all claimed lands along those rivers and creeks and settled KY." Quite a bunch of stories about him I found in the Library of Congress (and National Archives.) Another thing cool in the area especially with kids in tow is Tweetsie Railroad. Lots more than anyone cares about to read, sorry. OFF TO GAME

I will be honest with you... I just watch Conan and First Blood as well for the bulging muscles... hubba hubba.

Honestly, when I saw your title of this, I went to HOT BROWN, convinced that was what you were going to be showing... I lived in Lexington, KY for college, and we went to Columbia Steakhouse all the time. The Hot Brown is what we college kids wanted mostly lol. Never made it myself, but we have a smoker, I should smoke up some turkey and make this for everyone who has no idea what a Hot Brown is here in silly Knoxville. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown OH, I just realized I have not had anything to eat today... no wonder.

NICE DUKOO!!! Going fancy on us I see...

WTF! First Roxy now Biggie? Thanks for all the hard work! I know how hard it is at times to be an admin. You sure are good at it, you SURE you wanna give up all the ADMIN perks? C U in the maps

I understand... Love you! See you in maps!

Thank you for sharing. I am so very sorry. CANCER SUCKS Hell of a thing for your family to go thru. From her photos, you can tell she was something special. You can see she loved you and her kids very much and was happy. Hold onto that.

Good news! Also, getting more biopsies and scans and such as recommended by the docs is a good thing, best to know asap about things nowadays with modern treatments and all the sooner they know the better, and what a relief it is getting the "all clear" news, then you can check that worry off the old "what am I going to worry about today" list and move on to more important fun stuff you know, like..... gaming.

ooooooo HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!! If never gone to the British Museum in London before GO! So so so so much to see it boggles the mind. If you are driving everywhere, if you have time to swing over to see the ancient henge and stone circles of Avebury in Wiltshire, if you are into that sort of thing. It is cool, cause it is like Stonehenge, but primitive and you can walk all around the area and actually touch the stones.) https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/history/

We have been making Rum cocktails this summer too! The grapefruit .... hmmmmm too bitter for me? I put instead a teaspoon of grenadine (as well as that cherry liquor which is OMG yummy!) and pineapple and orange juice. OH, and that is not enough rum.... I put in Meyer's Dark Rum and Coconut Rum for a total of 3 oz rum................ we make them then party at the pool - feet in water. YEAH BABY YEAH! Life is a cocktail... enjoy! Basil's Caribbean Rum Punch 2 oz Dark Rum (I use Meyers) 1 oz coconut rum 1/2 lime juice fresh squeezed (per drink) 2 oz pineapple juice 2 oz orange juice splash of grenadine (i put in about a teaspoon) 1/2 oz Maraschino Cherry Liqueur lime slice for garnish and if you have one, a maraschino Cherry

but wait there is more.... What will happen if the Earth's magnetic poles reverse? Will we have a catastrophe on our hands? Geological records suggest that in Earth’s long history, hundreds of magnetic pole reversals have occurred, with the last one, known as the Brunhes-Matuyama, happening roughly 780,000 years ago. Many scientists believe that we are in the early stages of the next one, which will occur when the iron atoms in Earth’s liquid outer core become reverse-aligned in such a quantity that they dominate the rest of the core’s atoms. Reverse-alignment happens in patches and spreads, with the fastest growing patch currently residing underneath Brazil and the South Atlantic ocean. Potential Magnetic Pole Reversal Effects on Humans What are the potential outcomes of swapped North and South Poles? Compass needles would be wrong, and animals that use Earth's magnetic field for navigation — such as birds, salmon, sea turtles, whales and butterflies — could get temporarily disoriented, according to National Geographic. Mitchell warns that a reversal could destroy anything electronic, including home appliances, satellites, wireless devices and the electric grids that make all these items work. In an essay on Undark.org, Mitchell wrote, "We have blithely built our civilization's critical infrastructure during a time when the planet's magnetic field was relatively strong, not accounting for the field's bent for anarchy." What about magnetic pole reversal effects on humans? With a weak electromagnetic field, radiation from space could possibly make some regions of Earth uninhabitable and cause entire species to go extinct. But first, according to Mitchell, we would have problems with sensitive orbiting satellites, which control electric grids and could cause "a domino run of blackouts that could last for decades."
