I am sorry to see her go, but now the world has King Charles, and Prince William next in line for the British throne. I guess Harry renounced "it all" but what if something incapacitates King Charles and then Prince William? King Harry and Meghan . . . consort? That consort title sounds a bit Frenchy to me. 

No shit.

Russian genocide of Ukraine. What monsters. Never. Never. Never lift any restrictions on Russia. May they rot in hell. 

17 or 18 year olds. That isn't so young but why the heck? I thought Russia was winning with the guys they already had. Maybe Russia just "allowed" "The Hunt For Red October" to be shown.   

William quoted  . . .” no matter how powerful it seems at the dawn the flag will still be there.:"

Curious after Michael’s listing of legitimate Russian grievances against Ukraine, is Retaliatory use of force, or the Initiation of force, a priority for / against Russia? Think about it in philosophical terms. Why the hell does Russian need to invade a European country? Is Putin off his rocker? 

Apparently, it is BS and not Tsh.. He says it never happened and the person who said it is just trying to sell a book. 

While President Trump was in office, staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper, Maggie Haberman scoops in her forthcoming book, "Confidence Man."

Well, that proves it. Watch that video of January 6, closely and you will see Donald Trump in disguise. 

I remember living in Hawaii as a Navy brat and an earthquake occurred so we rushed to the shore to see a few inches of high wave appear. What a let down. I think that is an old story I have told before, but I also remember a different smell from the water, like something rotten.  

Those pictures tell a story. I saw some from Washington State today and they have similar flooding there. I don't consider global warming and sea water rises to be "man made" but global warming is happening. I have mentioned before how different areas here on Delmarva have different sea levels and now one daughter who lives in Ocean City, MD has a house with the lowest elevation in the family. For me it is a constant fear that she will be flooded out by a "nor'easter" but other non storm related flooding is also occurring here.    

I had to look Lulu Island up on Wikipedia. I am still trying to figure out the rest. Peter

Lulu Island is the name of the largest island in the estuary of the Fraser River, located south of Vancouver, British Columbia, and the second-most populous island in British Columbia, after Vancouver Island. The city of Richmond occupies most of the island, while a small section at the eastern tip, known as Queensborough, is part of the city of New Westminster.

Lulu Island is situated between the two principal arms of the Fraser River estuary across and downstream from the City of New Westminster. The Middle Arm of the Fraser River separates it on the northwest from Sea Island, the site of Vancouver International Airport, which, despite its name, is also part of the City of Richmond. At the western edge of the island lies Sturgeon Bank, a large sandbank which falls off into the Strait of Georgia on its western edge.

Wow. I kept looking for the guard rail. It reminds me of Port Isaac / Port Wenn in the PBS, BBC series, "Doc Martin."

Thanks Michael.

I blew the video up and now I can see she is on skates. Skate boards, skis, and skates are now beyond my abilities, I think.

I tiredly tried again and it flipped back to the screen with Moldova as my country but I plowed on and suddenly the amount with a comma switched over to an amount with a decimal point. I deliberated did not prefill the info boxes though hints were offered and my donation went through. Peter    

And the new screen has the country of Moldova as my place of residence. Weird. I just tried it again. Maybe I will try it without letting the system prefill my info. Peter

Symphony of Science by Carl Sagan.
As the ancient mythmakers knew
We're children equally of the earth and the sky
In our tenure on this planet, we've accumulated
Dangerous evolutionary baggage

We've also acquired compassion for others,
Love for our children,
And a great soaring passionate intelligence
The clear tools for our continued survival

We've begun at last
To wonder about our origins
Star stuff contemplating the stars
Tracing that long path

Our obligation to survive and flourish
Is owed not just to ourselves
But also to that cosmos
Ancient and vast, from which we spring.

you could knock down castle walls with that bowling machine.

Did they steal our Coke recipe?

What was its energy source? In Scifi lit they have had apparatuses that could build housing units like that, on other planets. 

Kooky scam artist. A little funny. Would you trust her to watch your pet when you were on vacation? 

I should have gotten dozens of emails but none arrived to my inbox as of 1:47 on Sunday afternoon. I did receive your thank you saying I rock!

Peter 

OK. For instance I just checked my email and I have no problems. Yet I have received no new email from OL other than one from you. AND I did not receive your most recent message in my inbox. I am reading it onsite. There were a bunch of messages on the Aesthetics thread and I got none of them.

Peter 

I received your email about the donation in my inbox. But Michael I have received no new emails from OL since Wed. or Thurs. Yet when I go to OL, log on and browse unread content there are messages that should have been sent to my inbox. Please fix this. I will be on screen for a while so please respond.

Peter
