Dear Folks,

 

What with Trump, and such, one wonders if most Americans actually DO feel like this....

 

Are you one of my fellow-Americans who feel just as do I?

 

 

 

Anyone who does not like Americans......?

 

Let's SURPRISE them.......!

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  BOOM goes London!

 

Note2:  They all hate us, anyhow......

South America stole our name!

I love it.

 

Yes.

Randy Newman is truly a genius, and one of a kind.

 

Nobody appreciates him.....enough.

As I have mentioned several times, I am an American and proud of that fact.  I also have noted since around 1968, deterioration of the society as a whole in the US and the younger the generation the worse it seems to become.  I have friends, family and relatives living in different parts of the US and get the same stories from all of them - no one seems happy anymore and violence is the response for even the

most trivial of issues.  I became disappointed a long time ago with the political situation as candidates for senior responsible positions seem to be selected by $$$ within a party and each election I become more afraid for the future of my country.  Now we have two real losers in just about every sense of the word, one is promising the rich he will even cut their taxes and taxes on their businesses again if he gets elected.  The other is a senile pervert that has no clue on how to run the country.  I never heard of him providing Delaware with anything great and he sure did nothing with O and CO. I could not honestly give my vote to either!  I pray that GOD does have mercy on the citizens of the USA and the rest of the "free world".

A favorite song of mine.   Have seen Randy Newman a few times, a nice show.  Once at Academy of Music, and one of the best concert halls.   Wow, that was a long time ago ...

 

"Sep 23, 1977 — Get the Randy Newman Setlist of the concert at Academy of Music, Philadelphia, PA, USA on "September 23, 1977"

 

Baltimore is another favorite ... sadly, timeless ...

Yes.

Baltimore.

You can play it 100 times and never tire.

This is true.

On the flip side, not exactly a fan of a lot of USA, Baltimore, being one.  Great crab cakes though.

 

Mississippi ... Phil Ochs got this one right.  Damn embarrassing at times.

But, have you ever sailed on the Chesapeake?

 

That might give you a much different perspective....!

Sorry.

Not polite.
We speak a different language.

Similar to Americans trying to understand Scouse.

It cannot be done.

Matter fact I have, (not sailed), as couple friends were into boats.   Almost rammed a freighter, in the fog, don't know how he got into the 'lane'.   Finally beached ourselves :cheesy:    He / driver, was hungover/still drunk, and wife had to be at work, after an all nighter.   Needless to say, she didn't make.   After beaching it, we said F'it,  before we killed ourselves or someone else.

 

This same guy, flipped that same speed boat twice, and has the honor of being the first person on the Delaware River to get a DUI while operating, the same boat :cheesy:

 

Wasted youth, though not so young, sadly :coffee1:  

 

Other buds were more into larger yachts.  Damn rich folks.

Isn't there a footie thread or a full brekkie thread, you could waste your time on, instead of a thread that doesn't interest you ... :coffee1:

Influenced by Tom Lehrer no doubt...I think Randy Newman said as much a few times.

Yes.

Many large vessels going up and down the bay.

Are they freighters?

Or, are they mostly tankers?

Not sure.

 

We could google it, I suppose, if we really wanted to know.

Correct you are, was a tanker.  Amazing how close we came to it.  Spook the how out of us.   Thought we were going to bite the big one.   Actually glad we beached it, might have saved us, and or others.

 

Last time I hopped in a boat with him :coffee1:

Sun Oil is down there.

Those tankers move very fast.

Stay out of their lanes.

They are unable to turn on a dime.

How's this for American logic:

 

Q:But, have you ever sailed on the Chesapeake?

So you haven't actually sailed in the Cheasapeake  then>

Pretty sure they were anchored, as we were the only idiots cruising in the fog.  Just cruising in the fog, then all of the sudden, a wall of steel in front of you ... :w00t:

More interesting than all the chatter about the Soccer tournament.
