Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.

Joe - Merry Christmas to you.

Old Memorial Stadium - once the home of the Orioles and the Colts was on 33rd St. Many areas had row houses that were 4 story mansions, esp. on St. Paul Street below 33rd. The Baltimore system of land rent made housing more affordable and there were no tenements in the city.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

at a happy hour at home of a couple in our senior stretch and strengthen class. He is leaving in the morning to fly to Christchurch, where he will be issued his cold weather gear and then go on to McMurdo Station to do the shut down work for a Department of Energy climate change related project that has ended. Yup, he is one of the names that the Trump Transition Team wanted. Heh.

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.

What's for Christmas dinner? I found a goose in my sisters freezers her daughter (RIP 2013/14) left for her in 2011. That's what I will cooking on Dec. 27 for my sister to honor her daughter's day of death. My sister didn't touch anything in her house that related to her daughter. I have already cooked three lamb legs that were also left by her daughter in the freezer in 2011 and they tasted excellent. Of course I didn't tell my sister and I won't tell any of her guests.

I dropped this one on the other site as a reminder that we all deserve compassion. From an expatriate compassionate Democrat, Merry Christmas or whatever floats your boat.
