    Hands Off

    I saw a group a couple of weeks ago at the intersection next to Harris Teeter. No issues seen just get rid of the oligarchy, get rid of Trump, etc. A general protest to protest nothing but TDS.

    My how things change.....

    Haven't been to a bar in over thirty years. I still enjoy a beer and maybe a glass of whiskey but for a number of reasons it doesn't appeal to me much anymore.

    When are groceries supposed to get prohibitively expensive?

    I remember this from the 70's. What has been happening with the alarmism has been going on for over 50 years now. If you think about it, in the 70's we still used paper bags, glass bottles, and cardboard egg holders. All easily biodegradable. The new and "improved" plastics and the decision to...

    Cruises

    Not a cruise though. Made all the arrangements ourselves. I had heard a lot about Belize and wanted to check it out.

    Cruises

    I just returned from Guatemala a few months ago and my son and I had a great time. We visited my nephew who lives in Antigua which is a UNESCO town and has numerous volcanoes nearby. We climbed a live volcano (Fuego) our second day/night there and it was the most strenuous thing I've ever done...

    VanHollen is a POS!

    Trump needs to start anew or re-staff the Immigration Court with judges of his choosing and have a speedy vetting process put in place to give all the illegals a quicker review to avoid tying up the court system. Seems to me that if the other administrations can stock the immigration courts with...

    Prices on used cars

    A little over a year ago I went into a dealership, and they had what they called "live market pricing". The truck I was looking at was, I think, $10,000 over dealer recommended price. With all the cars on the lot you would think dealerships would bring their prices more in line with what people...

    Cruises

    I think we had 150 or so on the Antarctic cruise and followed the path of the Shackleford Expedition. Went on shore every day except when crossing the Drake Passage. 4–5-star dining as well.

    Cruises

    Pretty expensive but if you're not into partying and want to see something new check out Lindblad Tours with Nat Geo. They have specials but still $$$. We got our flight to Buenos Aires on them as we signed up early. Once in a lifetime. Don't forget the polar plunge.

    I love YouTube

    It would have taken me some time, but I'd eventually figure out what the ring was called (bezel?) and then found it on YT. If you don't need crazy tools most people can figure a way to fix just about anything with the help available online.

    New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

    Something I noticed at a restaurant a few weeks ago in Alexandria and my wife noticed this week in Florida. Take a close look at your bills before you pay at a restaurant. I read mine thoroughly and noticed that the 15%, 18%, and 20% suggested tips were not correct. The numbers were close to...

    What President are you?

    Teddy Roosevelt. I think I was born about 150 years too late.

    "Hell no, I won't go!"

    Maybe clarify that they are given 30 days paid leave pending termination. I would want them out immediately, so that email or government communications /documentation don't disappear.

    Govt Work at Home May Be Over

    People who have moved away from the location of the office during Covid will likely not return to work. I think there are a lot of people who fit into this category. Early move to where they wanted to retire when that day eventually came, and it came early in the form of Covid and offices...

    Family back in Minnesota said they had -30 to -40 below windchill last night. We're having a heat wave
