    That's cool. You and Mark can play duets. Talentless people like me are annoyed with talented people like you two.

    I know that the band members work just as hard as the athletes. They basically have to learn a new show every week!

    We got our second dog 3 years ago, and I love having two as well. We also went through a period of re-adjustment while the older one basically used to sit staring at me while the newcomer misbehaved, as if to ask 'WHY, DAD, WHY???'. This was them when we got her... [image: 1729262644605-fcefbca8-dc30-4a93-9310-146bbe3be162-image.png] ....and more recently [image: 1729262697451-887e5bd9-9cb2-4369-ac76-22e4665d5985-image.png] The rescue place told us the second one was a Jack Russell cross. She weighs 50 pounds.

    Interesting article. It would be interesting to "see" one. Is it like one of those military board games? I think that the hardest thing is to accurately play the enemy. Almost impossible for someone who has a career in the US military to be able to think like the China or Russia or someone like that.

    Darn it! I had a really thoughtful reply here (I even wrote bullet points on paper as I was thinking about it) before the forum issue. Oh well. I think my points, similar to @taiwan_girl was: I really enjoy viewing satellite maps, zooming in on remote towns around the world, viewing their stores (if they even have one) and other details I went down the wikipedia blackhole about the northwest passage (NWP) Further read about Amundsen and his trek to the south pole, then north pole, the 3-year journey to make it through the NWP.. even how he celebrated by docking in San Fran in 1906... but the town was a little busy with something that happened earlier in the year (the massive earthquake) I thought they should make a movie about Amundsen... guess they did make one (foreign film) in like 2019 that I'll have to check out

    Interesting. I had no idea this went on. At least for me, I usually only use Wikipedia for history type articles. I almost never use for companies.

    Is there any US car company that makes sedans any more? (Side note, I thought that this quote was funny a car so beloved by the masses that it was once the go-to choice for police departments I am not sure the first part of the sentence has anything to do with the second. LOL)

    To further hijack... this video also helps show the "holy crap a massive building is falling but, being controlled" feeling. Link to video

    Well, if they did do this, we'd for sure buy it. Jeni's did a Thai spice ice cream, so why not? Skyline is planning on expanding to other regions. I don't think it will work. It's rather an acquired taste.
