A bit of lightness on a Friday
Author: wickedpam Date: 2023-10-13 12:00:00

I don't know why this made me laugh, but I hope it at least provides a smile in such a dark week.

Blood and Sand
Author: BobR Date: 10/11/2023 12:40:26

The Middle East has been a brutal place for a very long time. Over the millennia, the sand has soaked up more blood than likely any other place in the world. It was the origin of the first civilizations, and as they various rose and fell, they did battle with one another for control and supremacy. I'm sure most of you have seen this video before:

'This is our 9/11, They got us.'
Author: Raine Date: 10/09/2023 12:35:54

Things are horrific in the Middle East right now. Many people spent the weekend wondering how this could have happened, mostly asking things like 'what led up to these events?' and 'how did such an intelligence failure occur?'.

Of Scorpions and Frogs
Author: BobR Date: 10/04/2023 12:21:34

"A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river.
The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown.
The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both.
When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature."

--Fable of the Scorpion and the Frog

To say the Republican party currently running the House (into the ground, I might add) were a bunch of scorpions would be an understatement. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), as everyone knows by now, was booted from his Speaker role (a first in our country's history) after he and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) butted heads one too many times. Gaetz and other members of his hard-right so-called "Freedom Caucus" have been telling McCarthy who they were ever since this Congress convened in January.

Where is it?
Author: BobR Date: 10/03/2023 13:27:44

We remain in peak season at work. Yesterday, we had another three cruise ships in town, with somewhere around 7,000 people looking for something to do here in Boston.

You've seen that my schedule is completely out of whack now, and will be for another five weeks or so. The last ship pulls out on Veteran's Day, and then it's right into the quiet season.
