Lived and worked in Europe & Asia and could still be if I wanted to, so I'm here by choice.
Retired. Spending my time going to the opera and exhibits of Impressionist painters. Manet is the man. And of course, there's Hopper.

Why on earth would NYC ever think of honoring Vichy President and Nazi Collaborator Pierre Laval? Glad to see that didn’t work out.

Went back to the Manet-Morisot exhibit at the Palace of the Legion of Honor here in San Francisco. The view from the museum lawn is part of the attraction.

Hey, wait a minute here. Is Vance tacitly admitting that killing someone was part of the job the guy was hired for?
JD Vance: "The idea that Tim Walz and a bunch of radical are gonna go after and make this guy's life miserable because he was doing the job he was asked to do is preposterous. The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity."
