@Bernard Agreed, it’s distraction time. Although I can’t help but notice that only women get fired. (Noem, Bondi.) Going on to special important jobs elsewhere.

We have urban coyotes in our neighborhood. This one was in our back yard a couple weeks ago. It’s on its way out the side gate. [image: 1775163967793-img_2604.jpeg]

@amanda Too funny!

@wtg Thank you for the update. Going home is a big step, and although it comes with its own challenges, I'm sure it will be a relief for him. You are both in my thoughts!

@CHAS said: Liked the Beatles. Listened to the Rolling Stones more. Was never a fan of McCartney's solo career music. It's amazing he's still at it. I'll give him that much.

Forsythia just starting to bloom here! Don't have time to get pics...

Yes, it's been a while since some truly attention worthy news, this is a day that will long be remembered. For me it shows what we are capable of, what we could achieve in an ideal world. I'm going to find the live feed mentioned

Answer is: they don’t. It’s an estate based on old photos that show him fully grown at the time they were taken. So they subtract 50 from that. Probably shouldn’t be reported to three digits of specificity.

I thought about the protests against the Vietnam War in the 60s. I think they made a difference....

Not exactly. More like certain forms of dissent have been out lawed. Same here as I will prove. Link to video

The Fergie character is the best! Lol. The problem with Charles is a) he lied during his marriage vows and b) his second marriage is illegitimate, and c) he has played out his short reign as a "Defender of the Faith" with with no credibility. He will be an asterisk in Diana Spencer's history. The BBC did a poll of the 100 most admired Britains some time ago. The answers came back as 1) Elizabeth I, 2) Winston Churchill, 3) Diana Spencer, and so on. Charles will be a footnote in Diana Spencer's history. The dustbin of history is waiting for him. I know that this sounds harsh. I've developed a habit in my early old age of not pulling my punches. That was very funny, and the Sarah character was spot on.

Thank you for keeping this forum humming!

Ontario friends are on a Viking cruise on the Danube. We have an airline credit from the fouled trip to Japan. Where are Americans being welcomed? Places to avoid?
