    I'll remove this video tomorrow but here is a flyover in 2020 when I was living in Virginia. You can actually see my then-2 year old (now 7). Some dude gets a little patriotic at the end "USA!!" lol, it wasn't me. This is the top of the condo where I lived. We'd see military aircraft all the time, often Ospreys and some jets, but nothing like this of course. At the end you can see our view of DC from the roof where we'd watch fireworks. I believe the aircraft are: B-29s B-17 and P-51s Chinnooks B-52 Stratofortress (high pitch sound) Ospreys B-1 A-10 warthogs KC-135 Stratotanker B-2 F-22s Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Drunk guy Link to video

    @89th that is what my brother suggested. It's a great space saver.

    Our adaptability is why we are still around, especially in such numbers. Clever little primates, we are.

    Woodward and Bernstein had a large hand in turning me off journalism as a career, as it was my major. EVERYBODY in it wanted to bust the BIG SCANDAL. No one wanted to hone the craft of newswriting.

    I hope he wins but I doubt it. Rand Paul as well. Authentic conservatives, unlike the president.

    My wife asked me where I’d like to be buried. Apparently ‘balls deep in your sister’ wasn’t the answer she was looking for.

    said in Embassies of Bangkok: @Renauda said in Embassies of Bangkok: @taiwan_girl There is something written on that Tower sign in what certainly is Georgian script but what it means I don’t know. I’ve looked up the words republic, Georgia, embassy, and honorary consul. The latter looks closest but not identical: საპატიო კონსული Thanks! I just kind of look on the internet for the embassies/consulates and it sent me here for the Republic of Georgia. I went to the front desk to ask, but between my relatively poor Thai language skills and their non-existent skills in a language other than Thai, we really were not able to understand each other. I did try and explain that I was looking for the Republic of Georgia but I finally found the actual location of the Georgia consulate. I was in the wrong place before. [image: 1770609939478-img_2068-resized.jpg] [image: 1770609954483-img_2069-2.jpg] Here is the place where the consulate is at. It was closed so I was unable to go in there and talk to anybody.

    I wonder if some of the people in President Trumps circle go home at night and drink heavily! LOL
