Up Here in Bathysphere (or wherever it is)
He's gone, between dinner and dessert tonight he simply stopped, which is exactly what he wanted. I'm sad and relieved. Events will become clearer over the next few days. No need to console me, I'm going to focus on being happy for him. I love y'all but I shall be AFK for a little while now. .

George Santos (R-NY) and his imaginative (but dishonest) résumé
I ask myself, could I do drag, or could I have done it in the past? And the answer is no. Not at any point in my life would I have been willing to wear women's clothes, of any kind, for any purpose - and I was a pet store Santa once, for charity. I'm as straight as the shortest distance between two ...

Protests at Universities across the fruited plain
I support the protesters 100% and I am thrilled that there are protests happening at both my alma maters, Georgetown and USC.

I have returned. Good vacation, even if it did beat the crap out of me. I drove home 5 hours and I needed a bit of rest (and one last cuppa), but I recovered fully, put everything away, did my laundry, reinstalled my main laptop with all the peripherals, and charged up all my tech. Few more vacation...

... you can walk out forever and never get deeper than your chest, so "swimming" is a relative term. I learned to sail a small boat in water like that, we would intentionally dump the boat and have to get it righted and sailing again, but you could stand on the bottom of the sound and be ...

Kinda in my backyard...enjoy the city, but don't venture out in the the rural areas... And by that I mean anywhere where there isn't street lights... Yeah, we're in a massive beachfront place, in a smallish but nice little condo, 4th floor but the elevator works. There are six huge buildings, many ...

Not a lot to say except I support the protesters and I deplore the actions of USC, where I attended law school.

How long are the poles that stick into the sand? I could see these easily flying away. That's what the bag is for. The bag it comes with is permanently attached to the middle of the sail. When you get both ends of the pole pushed down in the sand, you turn the bag inside out, fill it with sand (ple...

Yeah, you just have to keep it 90° to the wind. If'n the wind shifts, you gotta shift the umbrella. Which takes about 2 seconds. Very easy. If there's no wind ... I don't think we have ever been to the beach with no wind. On the ocean, there's always wind. That would present a problem, though.

Enjoy Savannah! We love it there :lovestruck: I am enjoying it, even though it's not quite warm enough for me. Last year - not knowing that I would never make it to the beach all summer - I bought a Shibumi umbrella mini (fits two people). Ol' Wifehorn and Numbah One Son took it to the beach withou...

The ocean temp around your location is around 65-67 Fahrenheit. Um... oh boo-hoo. The closest large body to me (Lake Michigan) is 47. The air temp is 51 but I'm told it will go up this weekend, and then down. No, I done told you already - I'm a tropical plant. I need heat, and light. If I spent 10 ...

Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe and 120 of his homies. We saw all 22 squares yesterday. Ol' Wifehorn always wanted to tour the city. There's a ton of history in those almost 300 years. We went in a gorgeous Catholic basilica. Not quite as big as Duke Chapel, but still very impressiv...

The water is too damn cold, with surf 8 inches high. No swimming, no boogie boarding, and so today we shall visit Lincoln's 1864 Christmas present from General Sherman.

So we're going to the actual beach for sun, sand, and surf, but we're not joining ol' Wifehorn's friends until dinnertime, because neither of the ladies want to be seen by the other one wearing a bathing suit. Such is the silliness of the North American Earthlings in their native environment. Y'all ...

What with all my surgeries and other hospitalizations last year, it turned out to be the first year since 1976 that I didn't get to swim in the ocean even once (that summer of '76 I spent at Cornell University, and did a lot of swimming in abandoned rock quarries, but not any ocean swimming). This s...

Oh, ouchy. That's a terrible thing for a judge to say about a lawyer in court. That means "I don't believe a word you're saying." Might as well call him a liar.Merchan, sharply: "Mr. Blanche, you are losing all credibility."
