Suspect Arrested in Molotov Attack on Tesla Dealership in Las Vegas
Just Americans doing what Americans do, left and right. January 6th, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers. Americans really need to learn to talk together to sort out their differences rather that use violence. -

Consider every day as a blessing
Another addition to this. I have a best friend I've known since 1965. We did a lot of things together, hunting, fishing, drinking, weed, traveling, arguing, listening to music, eating out, sharing a bottle or two of great wine, walking through the woods. He moved to Colorado because one of his sisters lived there, and I ended up in Texas, so we didn't get to see each other for quite awhile before he visited me in Texas, where we had a great time. We talked on the phone a lot, each telling of the fishing or hunting in our areas, and him always walking wherever he went, as he drank way too much and lost his license a few times because of it. I always tried to get him into working out, which he tried, and his walking was constant, so he did have a lot of exercise, walking the Appalachian Trail twice, and also to everywhere in his small town in Colorado. A little over a year ago, his sister called me and told me they found him on the floor of his apartment , after hitting his head. Later it was found he had been drinking. He was okay, but had some trouble walking so he went to a hospital for awhile, where he was diagnosed with dementia. Of course drinking leads to it and I knew it was just a matter of time before it caught up with him, because his drinking was daily for years and many times heavy. He was put in a care facility for awhile that was an outpatient kind, but they found him in the middle of the street at night, yelling at drivers and almost being hit, so he was eventually moved to another facility where he couldn't leave unsupervised, for his own safety. He's still there now, and when we talk on the phone, he remembers everything about our past but asks me if I'm still in Texas, after I told him 5 minutes before I'm still in Thailand. He has to look at his sister when he's visiting her for an answer to some of my questions because he isn't sure. This is a very smart man I've known all my life that changed overnight into one who forgets things that happened minutes before. This happens to all of us, but not near the degree that a person with dementia suffers. Life is too short already, and some of us shorten it because of addictions. I can't wait to move home and go to see him and take him fishing again, but it will never be the same as before. -

Yes, the Kamov KA-32 helicopter, is a Russian-designed twin-rotor helicopter and is used by the Thai Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), which currently has four operational helicopters. The DDPM can configure the KA-32 helicopters for use in firefighting, rescue operations and haze pollution control.
