Sofija and I needed to stay overnight at a hotel near Orlando airport. I purposely booked a hotel about 15 miles away from the airport so we don't get disturbed by planes. The only problem - our hotel was in the direct path for ascending planes out of the airport.

Obligatory voted selfie.
Even though I first came to the US in 1994 and started living here full-time in 1997, I could not vote in any of the elections until 2016. That's how long it took for all the official paperwork to go through without any illegal or shady shortcuts to become a citizen.

As a native of #Latvija, I find it nice to see Made in #Latvia when I shop at my local grocery store in #HoneoyeFalls, NY.
Yet, I thought the labeling was wrong. Fireplace logs were not made in Latvia, but they grew, then were cut, split, and packaged.

Two hundred one degrees was the temperature when I got into the sauna tonight.
If I ever could join the #300Club, I would do it in a heartbeat…

#SummerProject completed.
At the beginning of the year, Sofija said she would prefer to have #Sauna in our backyard instead of a pool. We can use the sauna all year long, whereas the pool would have limited usage mostly during summer. Sure, a pool would be nice, but we are not Rockefellers...

Granted, my #chess rating is not the highest, but this #checkmate was one of the most creative ones I've had recently.

I propose a 200% #tariff be applied to all snow that occurs between April 1st - Nov 15th annually. The tariff must be paid in the form of sunny, warm, & pleasant weather paid in December.

I have a NY state vanity plate that says 'SALDUSLV.' I wanted 'SALDUS', but I could not get it since someone else already had it. I discovered that the license plate with 'SALDUS' is attached to the 2018 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo. Now, I need to find out how to track down the owner....
