I would have liked to have seen it. What color was it?

Wow, neat pictures.

I so wish that I taken my phone with me when I walked up there.

Expect that I may see it again, the guy who built it lives near by.
It was the 1923, but very modified, as I recall it was said that one

could have any color one wanted, as long as the color was black.

Right at 100 degrees today.
Never seen the air so clean.
Beautiful moon, air is heavy
with the mixed scents of citrus
and jasmine blossoms. The
air has the most wonderful feel to it.

Nice, most are too busy with their day to notice such things.

What shortsighted perspective looks like...

The authors are obviously eager to maintain their positions.
They did manage to omit just a little history.

Alfred W. McCoy. The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade. New York: Lawrence Hill Books, 2003.


The first book to prove CIA and U.S. government complicity in global drug trafficking, The Politics of Heroin includes meticulous documentation of dishonesty and dirty dealings at the highest levels from the Cold War until today.

I wanted her to be super hot, but alas, she seemed sorta cool like Julia child. We would get mad wine drunk and make eggs and have an amazing time.

I am not a Trump fan in the slightest, but wow that is some poor journalism in that article. It immediately starts by stating a flatly-disproven narrative and then proceeds to say the sky is falling and Hitler's riding the clouds down to take us over. Barr is bad guy though, and so is Trump. I wouldn't find it unbelievable they might conspire to keep him in power, but this article doesn't present a very good case.

they can huddle & whisper all they want, but there is zero (as in "none whatsoever") legal ways that trump can stay past his time...which may very well have an expiration date this january...some moron posted that trump will get an extra term over something the conspiracy theorists are calling Obamagate (whatever the fuck that is supposed to be) but our constitution does not allow for that in any fashion.
