I can read 1984. I don't need to live it.

When will this long national nightmare be over??

If your business model requires you to pay employees less than a living wage, you don’t actually have a business.

Let's assume I know nothing about the composition of the 40MM receiving food stamps, because I don't.

It doesn't matter who gets SNAP - Mike Davis' comment is just mean & hateful.

He probably wrote it from a pew in his church.

I saw this pub in Scotland & for some reason I thought of you.

Even more Wales

More Wales pics

Wales was a huge surprise for us. It was much more beautiful than we could've imagined. Some Wales pics:

We've been back from our British vacation for almost a week now. I'm just now recovering. We walked 36.1 miles, climbed 51 flights of stairs, took a 410 mile train ride, drove 2,087 miles & flew 7,744 miles.

That's a lot for these two 75 yr old people.

But it was worth it.

There's no way I can post enough pics to give you a sense of the size & grandeur of these ruins.
September 23, 2025 at 3:22 PM
And a few more...

Back to the vacation

We visited an amazing castle ruin yesterday - Castle Harlech in Wales. Built by Edward I between 1282 - 1289 for £8,190 - seems cheap.

Words fail me. Here are some pics.

How about a Magical Mystery Tour? We went on a 2 hour bus ride around significant places in the Beatles' lives.

It's a very touristy thing to do, but WE'RE IN LIVERPOOL. You gotta do something Beatles related & this little tour was great!
September 23, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Finally made it to Liverpool. We've walked around a bit, but it seemed like maybe it was time for something else. But what's next?
September 23, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Why it's the Magical Mystery Tour!

This this absolute pinnacle of touristy activity, but how could we pass up a 2 hour tour of their childhood homes, other significant Beatles places & a ticket to the Cavern?

I'm trying to stop thinking about Trump by looking out my window at the Cardigan Bay in a perfect hotel,The Richmond.

It's working. It's hard to think about that fat, orange moron while relaxing in our bay window nook watching people strolling down the promenade on a late Sunday afternoon.

We made to Botallack where the remains of ancient tin mines are on the cliffs.

Oh. My. God. It's everything we had expected - beautiful, romantic, unforgettable.

Back to the vacation...

We went to Mousehole yesterday for lunch. And where did we eat? At the Mousehole pub, of course.

There should be no debate about whether Trump has increased the level of political violence on the Right. They hate the Left with a ferocity that defies description.

Do I hate the Right? Not yet, but they're making it easier to do so.

For anyone interested in coming to Penzance you could hardly do better than staying at the Hotel Penzance. Truly a first-class experience with beautiful views of the harbor & the city.

Went down the road to St. Michael's Mount. We have tickets to go over to the island on a small boat, but the island was closed & no boats were running. The surf was a little rough & the tide was in - so, no walking to the island either.

We drove to the Sherbourne Old Castle on the way to Penzance. Amazing!
September 17, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Penzance! We've made it!!

This is my position until further notice...
