I say yes. When I was a kid, we thought the continents were static, and the Milky Way was the only galaxy. We've come a long way since then and there's no reason why it should stop.

I lived in my hometown from birth until age eighteen when I joined the military and went to boot camp. Since then, I went on to live in six different states on the US, and I have also lived in foreign countries. While I have visited there, I have never lived in* my hometown nor in my home state since age eighteen.
*For the purposes of establishing context here, the phrase “lived in” refers to setting up a household and establishing a physical address to where (snail)mail will be delivered, etc.~ less

In his vision he’d received two palm trees - one planted in California the other in Florida. He asked, Lord who are these two palm trees? and God responded - this palm tree from California is Ronald Reagan - this palm tree that is in Florida is Ron DeSantis. Sharp said his vision presented the Florida governor as a tree of righteousness that God would replant in Washington D.C. to stand strong against the storms. Then he painted DeSantis as the second coming of Ronald Regan. And added that the Christian community is open to turning the page on Trump in favor of a more authentic spiritual warrior. I might of believed Sharp more if he wasn't wearing a Pompadour hat because I figure no prophet worth their weight in gold would wear a pompadour hat. Cheers! less

His reasoning is that it would be more dramatic than the lethal injection method. I bet Trump has dreams of being in a photo op with him holding up a severed head. Cheers!

With climate crisis posing a grave threat to our collective future, millions living below the poverty line, the economic and social shocks of the coronavirus pandemic and unemployment wave still reverberating, and the richest 1% accumulating ever-more wealth, Gen Z and Millennials say they have grown increasingly disillusioned with capitalism

It is a lot of hard work and not very good for the environment so this will probably be the last year I heat with wood. I am going to go with electricity so I started buying energy efficient space heaters. Electricity is pretty cheap in BC plus in BC it is all produced from renewable resources. Heating with wood has helped keep me in good shape so I will have to find some kind of exercise. Cheers and happy weekend! less

We have lots of bulb flowers popping up and the foxgloves are staring to push out new leafs. I think I can also see buds starting on the alder trees. Cheers!

But I taught him how to do the What's Up head nod and how to look cool while doing it. Before I taught him the trick he spent most of his day looking out the window and resting his chin on the window sill. So I started giving him a what's up head nod ever time I went out on the deck and after 6 months or so he started giving me one back. But it wasn't a very cool looking what's up head nod so I spent another year teaching him how to do the what's up head nod in a cool looking way. I bet I could also teach a 120 year old person how to look cool while doing a what's up head nod. Cheers! less

She set my wife up with some new meds plus she started my wife on some exercises that will help her get rid of the carbon dioxide in her lungs. The down side to that is part of the exercise includes my wife doing a little bit of singing so I might have to buy myself a pair of ear buds. We are also getting a virtual health monitoring system and a diet specialist visit us once a week. These things are all free for us because we are on pension and the wife is in home palliative care.
