    Yes, but they've closed the drapes so you can't see the havoc they wrought while you were out.

    @ShiroKuro said: How did you find this site? One of those daily news/interesting stuff newsletters. I don't subscribe to the newsletter anymore but happened to check their site a few days ago and this was one of the sites they featured on that day. RetroTv is a major rabbit hole....I just showed it to Mr wtg. I think he may surface in a couple of days...

    @RealPlayer I don't think it's unusual. Engineers figure it out. But what I've read is that the developers of this construction have racked up several violations and have deviated from agreed upon plans. Don't take my word for it though.

    My wife and I took a bike tour through Vermont circa 1977, mostly up Rt. 100, with an organized tour group. Then we continued by ourselves through New Hampshire and Maine. Those were the days…ah, youth! Vermont was really beautiful.

    We shouldn’t accept his framing. You don’t put a 747 in a library in downtown Miami which will probably be a hotel and casino anyway. He wants to keep the 747 for his personal use. That’s how it should be framed.

    @wtg said: in retrospect maybe it would have been better for him to get re-elected in 2020. He wouldn't have had four extra years to plan this out, and the next four after that to execute the plan. ugh, I never thought of it that way, but this is probably right.

    Yup - similar to stuff with back and other injuries. Gentle, but specific movements can aid recovery. I've moved away from Ibuprofen and all other such drugs.

    We don’t swim off our local beaches either, in general. Although there is a group called Swimmers of Anarchy who brave the waters in all temperatures.

    Talked to an NIH doc in a gay bar in Memphis. He said it was spread by the "most intimate form of sex". That was big news at the time. Was dating a cardiologist friend of his.
