@wtg said in Cares we can't buy here.: Nice car! It is a nice car from what I can see and Teslas are junk.

It's outrageous. To the rest of the world, I think we're looking like a shithole country.

I haven't let go of this thread! I just can do this in the cold! 🥶

Going to 38 tonight with high of 50 tomorrow. Don't know why "feels like" is running low. Wind is around 12 mph. It must be things like the humidity, or maybe the b. pressure, or something. I don't like it but what can you do.

“How did you lose the town?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” Seriously though that’s crazy. Good thing they’ve been able to evacuate though.

@wtg said in FIFA may be regretting that Peace Prize: We've invited countries to be on the Board of Peace, but we won't give their citizens visa to enter the US.
