The New Coffee Room

The coffee and doughnut shop gossip up here in the North maintains that Mitsubishi cars and SUV’s have a reliable and solid reputation. Damn good in winter driving conditions.

I just dislike airports and all the rigamarole involving time and humanity between the building entrance and the boarding gate.

Would be interesting to hear Scarlett’s take on pianists playing Liszt and Scriabin.

His mob name would be Matt “The Sleaze” Gaetz.

Ugh.

So how many people did take their shoes and socks off to check?

Didn’t need to, am pretty sure footed.

Pardons overall should be eliminated.

Constitutional amendment.

Good luck

A hand me down remnant of royal privilege from the much maligned right of kings era.

That would be something to see!

Wonderful and if I recall correctly the Vancouver aquarium has a hall exhibit along similar lines.

No reference to the loudly exclaimed quote referring to the alleged human consumption of domesticated canines and felines?

Given its source I would have thought it to be simultaneously obnoxious and humorous.

No surprise- Celtic feet here.

Can you predict how President Trump will act?

Disappointingly, of course.

And with very rare moments of politeness and statesmanlike behaviour.

A few years ago, I went to an estate sale where the individual who passed was a CD collector. It was the first time where I encountered a collection that was comparable - or possibly larger than mine. He also had a large library of books. The house was dark - windows covered - most walls dedicated to shelves for the books and CDs. The deceased owner had been a psychiatrist.

One of the psychiatrists who purchased truckloads of classical CDs, hired someone to come to his home and catalogue his collection of music. It took six months.

As an aside, that same psychiatrist when I met him in 2014 was already on his fourth marriage. I think that by the time I fully retired six years later, that one had ended and he was contemplating that perhaps the marriage thing wasn’t for him after all. Wasn’t too sure though.

I recall now reading about that incident some years ago. I also remember another KGB honey trap that came to nothing with either a French or Italian diplomat. When presented with the photos and extortion threat, he allegedly asked the KGB hood(s) if they would make copies and so he could show them to his wife, who was convinced he was impotent.

We used to get quite a few MDs coming into the music store who were audiophiles. All were quirky in their own peculiar way as are most audiophiles. Of that group of a dozen or so doctors, four were psychiatrists. All four stood out in their own obsessive and socially eccentric behaviours from their colleagues in medicine. Quite odd actually.

From what I can tell the murderer is a psychiatrist by profession and a nutter in his spare time. Go figure.

Islam is foul

More specifically, Wahabist fanaticism is filthy foul.

Makes me optimistic that there will be enough senate votes to kill Kennedy

Funny how it’s always a Kennedy that gets killed.

It’s a photo of the son, or Crown Prince of Darkness in the World, of the currently designated Antichrist, George Soros.

Oligarchs come in all forms, the common denominator among all is their worship of the power their money brings them.

@George-K

Funny how we went from "Sharp as ever" to "Diminished" 6 months.

Not to worry. Should resolve itself a half step above from any one of its constituent tones. I agree though 6 months is a long time to wait, after all in the Ring cycle, Wagner managed resolution after 15 hours.
