We are fairly well traveled 30+ countries and really dont see much of this. They tend to not like cruise ships, I dont blame them, looks like a heard of cattle.

Its a fine line between tourist and traveler. Americans and orientals seem to like the 32 cities in 13 days trips, where you see and meet no one.

We just spent 2 weeks between Dubrovnik and Split- about 150 miles. Try to really see a small area, learn some of the language (and try to use it!) meet and get to know people. We have been invited into peoples homes, meals with families, ...

Most places we have been seem to enjoy the personal interaction, they don't care for the camera clickers - those there to just get a picture and move on.
We have owned a popup, motor home and pull camper. Motornhome was for ball tournaments, does not work well for camping. We never used any enough to be worth the expense, though it was fun times.

Make the commitment to be a camper for vacations and long weekends and then worth it. Or buy a cheaper popup, all we did was sleep in them anyway.
SB25 passed Senate 26-5 and scheduled to be heard by House Education committee today.

SB 234 , same except 26-4 vote

I disagree.


If you have ever been to West Africa, you would agree. The poorest blacks here generally live better than the richest there, at least in the countries I have been to, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Ghana.

It was the Croats in bed with the Nazis, not the Serbs.


Check your history, the Zbor was anti-semitic and pro Nazi. Milan Nedic, the Serbian prime minister, was loyal to and supported the Nazis til the end of the war
Creole has nothing to do with african heritage. A creole can have african (or indian) heritage but doesnt have to. It is the descendants of french and spanish settlers born in the new lands (mostly Louisiana and gulf areas) and predates the acadians.
Agreeing with Bellevue. Chris does a great job and their sausages are the best. Dowlings and Wildthang are also good.

Thanks for taking your daughter and for the story! That is so cool and I know you are a proud Dad. A story she will tell forever.
Never. Growing my dad, 2 degrees in dairy science and worked at dairy experiment stations, would never let us drink raw milk. Said only if you see the udder and milking parlor it comes out of, too many chances at bacteria and disease.

I just used Dana's golf cart to do a battery conversion and they did a great job
It's been a few years so don't know about upgrades. It is a nice park, cabins are among the oldest in the state, some build by CCC/WPA. great for hiking, kayak, canoe, etc....
St. George (off Hoo-Shoo-Too). Had several in my crepe myrtles Saturday morning.

I've used them twice - had my Banish 46 delivered today. No problems and i like my other suppressor - obviously haven't tried my new one yet. It was delivered within a week of approval by the feds.

• They ask employees to list their "preferred pronouns" on all communications


not saying the rest is not true, but when one part isn't accurate you have to question the whole. I am looking at an email I received from John Deere regarding one of our skidders and there is nothing in the signature referring to any "preferred pronouns".
