He/ they continue to find ways to fulfill their destructive mission.

How kind. Thanks so much Dol and jon.

Happy Anniversary!

Awesome!

@andyd Always a good idea but actually I took pictures randomly of the before. There are some hotel decoration tropes I want change before you and everyone else sees it.

It will be awesome when I get it presentable.

Thanks you, both.

This is my first month so there's a lot of desk work. I was trained to be a desk worker. That's a happy coincidence.

I can't wait to take pictures, but it will be awhile because I have add some furnishings, replace some, and take some away.

The interior decoration theme was described by the agent as: "Florida".

I'm turning it into: "Garden".

It's a double wide in the park with a cathedral ceiling, tile floors, a different company made it, solid doors that click shut, metal clamshell storm shutters that can be lowered to protect the windows or provide privacy, a tile front porch with storm windows, all new appliances, inside washer and dryer, furnished, etc.

I bought it from a Canadian couple who only spent winters here and who had the resources to maintain it in pretty much pristine condition.

I have one repair to do. Actually two things I need to do.

One bathroom fan isn't vented and the ceiling cap where the air should go out and the rain shouldn't come in needs to be fixed. The water leaking drips on the tile floor. It's not bad but of course water is corrosive.

I need a contractor expect the underside to find out the condition of the vapor barrier and the air-conditioning ducks.

It in the original section of the park as opposed to where I lived. It's a different neighborhood. The vibe is much friendlier. The lots are small and so people can't stand outside and talk all day and this is very peaceful.

It's a very when you're inside your inside kind of place. My last place was like a ghost pirate ship.

It's one of nicest mobile homes in the park.

I love it.

My favorite discovery was the escape door on the back wall behind a closet in my bedroom.

I think it's charming. I don't know what they were thinking.

I paid $35k. It would have been at least 70k if the l market hadn't been the way it's been and is in most of Florida.

I wanted to own a condo very much but I thought hard about it and changed my mind.

I decided I couldn't afford one at triple the price with the long list of HOA fees, property taxes, insurance, rising steeply at this time and the always present possibility of special assessments.

I might well need to move from here if the owner were to pass and his children sold the business.

These range from raising lot rents, deeply, changing the rent system to separate included items and create new bills, at best, to refusing to renew every lease in the park, and turning the park into nothing but rentals.

I'm pleased with my decision because buying a condo could have put me at risk of being losing everything.

I'm more conservative and risk adverse than I've been in the past for sure.

Welcome back, Daniel! Glad events are going well for you. Must feel luxurious to have your own place now.

Thanks, Bernard! It does feel luxurious.

I felt like I was living in the 19th century at my last place.

FEMA declared it uninhabitable after Milton.

But that has practical meaning to local officials.

I did appreciate having a roof over my head, a bathroom, and cold running water, truly.

I did look on the bright side. That helped.

Thanks, wtg.

80 is a good age to reach.

The Spencer ancestry is as clear as day to me when I look at pictures of him.

Actually, all US intelligence services concluded some time ago that it came from the lab in China.

Fauci is a psychopath hiding behind the mask of secular saint. Fauci aka as quote "I am science" has a preemptive pardon. He didn't deserve it (is this actually legal?) but certainly needs it.

He arranged the funding for this research and then profited after the predictable result of it.

Yes, sir.

I'm excited!

His lack of consistency and repetitiveness are not confidence inspiring.

Yes.

Thanks, Andy.

Thanks, everyone.

Joe, Do you mind posting your website? I've wanted to hear your recordings and learn more about your career for a long time.

Ain’t no way a horse drew this.

That's a great one!

This begs the question of why an executive would need to be convinced of reality but moving on...

@jon-nyc I was class of 85 and will be 59 next month.
