One of those where were you when questions. All good. Captain Cook. Same as Diana story. Different details. I got place wrong with Diana post. It was the apartment where I lived in Arizona, Prescott Valley for 4 yrs. I blame age. So. TV on. Roommate is watching. I'm in kitchen on phone with the military credit union outside MacDill, Air Force base in Tampa. He walks in the kitchen and says airplanes hit the WTC towers! I literally said I'm sure they did but I'm on the phone with my bank. The employee tells me the credit union is being evacuated. Walked into living room, started watching the TV, what else. So my roommate me, and my mind refused to process it in the moment.

Oh geez... crazy talk trying to say where the money that will never appear will come from!

On second thought, we met with our financial guys yesterday. They told us we weren’t spending enough money, which felt pretty weird. We live pretty high on the hog as far as I’m concerned, but with my side consulting we haven’t touched our IRAs in seven years of retirement. Maybe I do need one.

Thanks guys!

Link to video Peridot. Richard Yard. It reminds me of the old saying about the Tiffany's counter- if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. I thought that slogan was silly at the time- but it made a point.

Of course. Lol, Joe.

Link to video Ok, I lell my HS story. My best friend Hara and I were the two alternates. We couldn't serve well enough. We had no game to speak of. We didn't have the knowledge needed to get through a match. If we had the experience we would still not have the stamina. So we enjoyed hitting with each other. I loved hitting in the concrete "courts" they have for this. We spent a lot of time together at city parks for tennis. We listened to music (Broadway, Streisand, almost every album). No disrespect to Streisand at all, but when I hear her voice now, I switch it off. It was definitely a brief musical phase for me though. We talked outback dating (others, not each other, lol). Good times. I wish I could have done more in HS but there wasn't much opportunity for playing tennis in inner city Tampa, and more to the point, I didn't have the opportunity to take lessons. So yeah. Glorified waterboy. Lol!

My new audiobook is ‘Six Days of War’ by Michael Oren. It’s said to be the best single volume treatment of the 67 Arab-Israeli war.

And control. They want to know who is pregnant. They want to know who has guns. etc.

Republicans seem to believe that the bad consequences will not affect them.

@wtg Seems to be, "Our product will kill us all." Not the best sales pitch and unusual coming from the seller. I tend to believe things like that.

@jon-nyc I don't disagree. I just think the military budget is absurd. Not that voters have any control over it.

I bet they were just glad not to be trekking.
