ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY --BUT-- WHAT YOUR

COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

 

Actually, that's the plan all along. When the system is overwhelmed, and collapses, then the dictatorship will be welcomed. Guess who wants to be the dictator.

Perhaps this book might help us understand what is going on.

 

Hey, long time no see your face on here you old rascal. Nice - - come around more often and I will stir you some more coffee and filter it with my Depends. .................When you coming back home?

Mr Martin, well stated. Our nation has truly forgotten from whence we came and who sustains us. Sad day today - - think we have tipped over that 50% point of takers rather than supporters. Their vote carries just as much weight as the guy that gives a large portion of his income in taxes -- and the takers feel they deserve it. They don't understand what will happen when all falls and they are MADE to go to work, told where they will live and how much work THEY WILL DO today - - OR ELSE. Wow, will their eyes bug - - me, I will be down with Stan. Hey buddy, you did get that RV hookup installed for me - - right????? LOL

Uhh Mr.Bob,You are going to have to race me down to Mr.Stan'sI'v decided that Virginia,Idaho,and WYOMING are just too darned cold for my bones.

 

I am heading home on Saturday for 4 weeks R&R. It's a 30,000 km round trip and never look forward to these. It takes me two days to get home and 3 days to get back. The extra day is because I cross the date line. Crossing the date line going home means I arrive in Toronto 45 minutes before I leave Beijing on the same day. Not sure how much longer I will be here, but it is looking like it could be another year. Things are in a state of flux, so that year could become one month. Don't really want to stay here for another year, but am playing it day by day at the moment.

My poor RV is in storage and with the price of diesel may quit my RV'ing. I have some undeveloped property in the country and am thinking about parking the RV there and making that my 'cottage'. I suppose I could make some space for some of you escapees.- for a 'small' fee of of course.

Some of you would have daily heart attacks on my daily work commute. The company supplies a bus and our bus driver is always in a hurry to get home so drives the bus like it is a sports car. It is normal to every day drive on the wrong side of the road against traffic or even on the sidewalks to get around a long line of stopped vehicles. A few times now he has driven on the sidewalk across a bridge and every time he does that I wonder if the bridge designers factored in the weight of a bus on the sidewalk over the river below. Many times i wish I had a video of the drives here because you have to see it to believe it. Words fail. I cringe every day because the drivers here drive with about 2 inches clearance between vehicles when passing. Passing on the right is a daily occurrence because the rule of keep right except to pass is unknown. Then factor in the fact that nobody gives any leeway to the next guy and that pedestrians appear to be the lowest form of life on the road ...............

 

Hey, you got locked in for a while on that one, didn't you. That driving sounds like a combination of Egypt and some places in Mexico. Mazatlan, the sidewalk is the favorite place to go when coming to a red light when there is a truck or
RV at the corner. They hop the curb and cut in front of you while the light is still turning red the other way. On the baja they love passing on blind curves and over the top of the hill. If someone is coming, they are coming over on you - - it is your responsibility to slow down enough to let them in - -interesting with 53' of rig and 12 tons rolling at 50 on a downslope. In Egypt, they do the 2" apart thing - - if you can get your bumper 2" in front of the guy beside you, you own his lane - - just start moving over - - he will slow down for you to come in. They have lanes on the roads - - don't know why. A three lane road will have 5 lanes of traffic running down it, all 2" apart. Amazing. Our driver while there was in a new Mercedes and it did not have a scratch on it, but the guy was good. He earned his good tip.

Interesting switching channels today and get all the different news ideas of what happened last night. MSNBC - - lasts night HUGE win was America telling the republicans to start playing ball. Last I checked the result was almost a dead heat - - sounds like the Repubs were telling the Dems likewise. They just ended up with the most points that count. GGGRRRR Been mad all day - - the blonde says "get over it, that is the way it is, so smile - - ya still got me." Hey, that helps a lot - - yeh......

Hey Mexstan, good to hear from you.

I've been low all day too Bob. I turned the TV off last night after they called Ohio. I was done. The way I felt last night and this morning I have only felt two times in my life. It was my final game each season of my Jr and Sr year of high school. Depressed isn't the word for it, I don't think. Just low, real low.

Anyway still hoping for a miracle. It would have to be.

 

Ahhh! Mr. Stan! always a pleasure to hear about the other side of the world...unfortunately you have to live through those experiences..


and we have to live through politics. I would become one of the islanders in the carribbean but NY pays my pension..and they tax it mightily so that others may "live" better than me. can't afford to sail away....heheheh

drinking pina colada wine cooler and getting in the hot tub later...
trying to reduce the stress of working with danger hubby/raising this big bear. upright for proportion and detail now. it is only blocked to a rough shape.like me.

surrounded by six harleys. the suzuki is is the boat barn, outcast. sniff

 

Sounds like Boston. My directional signal isn't asking you for permission, it's informing you of my intent. Move or GET moved!

Don't be low Shorts. Like Bob said, "You still got me"!

Bear is starting to look good Heidi!

Evening all ye subjects of the O'Llama regime!

 

JWBM, bear looks good!

Chaikwa, got a little cranberry juice, ginger ale and vodka cooling in my glass.

 

Bear is very neat Heidi - I wish I had any artistic talent. I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler.

Shorts, and all other Repubs, so sorry about last night's results.

 

If I go south, it'll be 13 time zones east...
Makes for a long day to leave Singapore at 0600 to get to Oklahoma at 2200. almost as bad ad leaving Norway at 0500 and getting home at 02300.

 

enjoy girl! good mix, sounds delish! about to get wet...it's 24 degrees here.

thank you fine members, pic when it's done. it weighs 1900 pounds. dry.

scottybro!! miss ya man. we are all drinkers this wednesday it seems...

sean, enjoy summer's bounty after all your hard work, hope your pup has revived a bit. Bless vets with a heart and passion for their work. you can drink tonight as well, heheh. had a lucas blue wine last night. cayuga grapes oh my!

 

Glad you edited this. I was confused "Boy I sure made that drink a little strong"

 

As a matter of fact, yes.

Heidi, that log barely looks like a log any more.

Shorts, sounds like you have the recipe for curing a UTI and the associated discomfort right in the palm of your hand.
