Gee, you're old.

I was referring specifically to the Dulles toll road history. I’m not as old as you who would throw a penny and ask for change!

Things were slower back then. You had plenty of time as your horse walked through the toll gate.

But not too slowly… Didn’t want the troll to get you.

Yeah, I'm still laughing.

Oops. My Lisdexia is at it nagain.

I'd like to trade chord progressions with Taylor.

Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Lots of pit bulls here in rural AB. Perhaps a preferred breed. That said, and I’m sure I’ve talked of it here before, my kid and I were involved in an altercation with a mastiff when he was 3 yrs old. To this day, I remain scared and avoid most dogs. (To be brief, I avoided the all out mastiff attack by picking my son up with my one arm, holding up and using his tricycle as a shield between us and the dog with my other arm. We retreated me walking backwards a block and a half. I was shaking like a leaf after we got home safe. The dog wasn’t really at fault as he was scared being left alone in a house and broke through a screen window. His owner was charged a hefty fine by Animal Control officers.).

And you don’t see the very real problem with that?

I see it as a very big problem.

People that I have talked to in that situation dont like it, but it is better than from where they are coming which really speaks about how bad things are in their home location.

Most/all people who are here in the US illegally did not come to the US because they were leaving a better situation behind. It is tough for them - generally dont speak the language, always living on the edge, big limitations on what you can do, leaving close relatives behind, etc.

Even saying all that, I dont disagree with the deportation of illegal immigrants.

But i think that there will be consequences that maybe not everybody expects.

We need to fix the immigration system, and while probably not very possible, the best way to fix is to fix it at the source. Decreasing the illegal immigration is just a "band aid" but does not solve the problem.

TDS performance art.

TDS (noun): (1) Trump Derangement Syndrome. (2) A handy epithet used to dismiss claims that offend one's sensibilities without having to go to the bother of providing any arguments.

Trump said something about "fraud" rather than controlling the ability to express oneself. I am guessing he's wrong that the poll in question was "fraudulent", and I don't know the legal standards, if any, the honesty of a poll could even be held to. I will remain secure in my preference for a Trump administration and its attitude towards free speech, compared to a Harris administration in which Walz was saying that misinformation/disinformation is not free speech. As for the TDS, that will be the geyser of double standards that will come from you in this and other threads over the next four years.

"Deitz Nuüzen..."

LOL

(Actually, it should be "Dietz")

The cats are a back and forth for me. They hit me hard Friday morning… I had to take 2 Benadryl and Karla had to drive down to Newport News, but for the rest of the weekend the cats were in the hotel room with us, sleeping in the bed with me and Karla, and not a problem…

Could it be something else in the house?

Nope.

OK - I don't understand.

You're OK with the cats in a hotel, sleeping in your bed, etc.

When you get home, you're not OK with the cats?

Did I get that right?

Some days the cats hit me harder than others. I’m in a bit of an adjustment phase with them.

Trump actually likes gay and retarded.

I’ll be curious why they chose to scuttle it out to the gulf. Was it not on the right descending trajectory?

Food pyramid.

Jon would still hit it.

Tulsi, that is.

To beat Harris, I don't care if he has cloven hooves and horns.

Thanks. I’ve nuked them before with suboptimal results.

Therein lies the rub.

At any given point, you're three days away from society starting to crumble in any urban area.

Turns out there are worse discussion topics than politics.

A pretty girl laughed. That's good enough for me.
