  1. Dude's gonna have a splitting headache. At least his hair still ooks good.
  2. What does this have to do with the article? Pot...meet kettle...meet suspect.
  3. My friend in England sent a news clip with pictures of the rogues' gallery of rapists and freaks from his part of the country. Most of them looked as one would expect a child groomer to look like (swart, heavily bearded,ugly) but this alabaster skinned weirdo jumped off the page and screamed "avatar material" at me 555
  4. The XMax and Honda 350s top out at 140. I've ridden all over the country during the last year and never saw someone try to pass on the inside at such a high speed. There's always some kind of obstruction on the left hand side and shoulder of the road, especially outside of the major cities. Either way, there will be people who loved him that are going through terrible grief, regardless of the speed at which he hit the parked vehicle.
  5. “HAVING IS NOT SO PLEASING A THING, AFTER ALL, AS WANTING. IT IS NOT LOGICAL BUT OFTEN TRUE.” – SPOCK (AMOK TIME, STAR TREK TOS) I love being here for many reasons. The sunshine, food, poontang when needed and solitude the rest of the time. The low cost of living allowed me to retire early. There is a lot more personal freedom here than in Canada. One can blame our witless ruler but it's all done with the consent of the majority of the governed.
  6. A native guy I knew back home wasn't fond of walking. He told me that his ancestors walked all the way over from China and that was good enough for him. The subject of the article is dressed like an African migrant, not an American.
  7. Thank you for proving my point. Did you read the article? "State Farm followed suit last year, saying it would stop accepting new home insurance applications in California due to "historic" increases in construction costs and inflation" "After State Farm announced last month that it would cut 72,000 home and apartment policies in California because of inflation, regulatory costs and increasing risks from catastrophes, California's insurance commissioner, Ricardo Lara, told KCRA, "This is a real crisis." Catastrophes is mentioned last. These are pointless discussions. I honestly don't care what religion people choose to follow as long as they respect my right to think for myself and arrive at my own conclusions.
  8. When I ask about payment they keep saying "up to you". I need to channel the spirit of Kissenger or Anwar Sadat in order to reach an accord with these ladies.
  9. Dr. George Shufhausen (the third) George, I like your posts. The fact that you ended up in the situation with "Eric" and the band of Thai freeloaders is far more interesting than the view from a condo window. Good on you for getting out there and meeting new people. I'd have thrown down a thousand baht and got everybody good and drunk, just for my own amusement. I spend a lot of time alone, yet love talking to new people. Some people who appear on the surface to be boring really aren't. If you can ask the right questions in the correct manner many people will relate stories about interesting life experiences and some unique ideas. My friends over here are not open to meeting new people so I piss them off by inviting strangers to sit at our table. The results have been mixed, but usually goes very well or very badly. I don't approach or impose myself on others. One of the nice things about retiring here is that you can have as busy or quiet a life as your temperament and budget dictate. If you don't like small rooms you'll need to move further out or bank money for a few more years. By the time you've got "enough" it might be at the point in life that your desires (or body) have died.
  10. Those fees might be worth looking in to. You'll certainly want proof that they're going into the general maintenance fund.
  11. They didn't show the footage of the whole lot of them swooning like school girls at their first Elvis concert.
  12. That has nothing to do with climate change. California has always had wildfires. Always. They've always had the Santa Annas to fan the flames. I remember this from the news footage during my childhood 50 years ago. The places you mentioned on the other coast have always had hurricanes and storm surges. It's well documented and nothing new. Insurance rates rise in step with housing prices and increased construction costs, so blaming the climate is disingenuous. The democrats you refer to are the main people ringing the climate change alarm bell. The bloated swine, Al Gore is the worst offender. Plenty of corrupt republicans as well, they're just not at the forefront of the climate scam. Isn't Trump's estate on a waterway in Florida? Why don't the climate gang ever mention Gore's predictions? Ever? You're welcome to believe whatever you like. I'll pay more heed when these hypocrites downsize and start living the way they are forcing the rest of us to live.
  13. I can't get the street walkers to leave. They're starting to congregate around the air conditioner and are hogging the bandwidth on the WiFi. At least they get along with each other and are cheap to feed.
  14. The journeyman who ran the practical side of my schooling called those people "hack n whacks".
  15. The trees in the picture aren't pollarded, they're butchered. Zoom in and look at the poor quality of the cuts. A problem with the tree on the right is that they left one leader higher than the rest. It will assert apical dominance over the rest of the tree and the growth won't be even. Pruning hard can stimulate "breaks" in plants with adventitious buds, resulting in increased "bushiness" and new branches. When done properly it is good practice for many plants.
  16. Caused what accident? Wake up old man, you're sleeping.
  17. So can sailors. You sleep when and where you can. A 20 minute nap is like rain on wilted lettuce.
