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.

Slightly off the topic, but in the 1950s, the cost of an airline ticket was equivalent to the cost of a first-class ticket. More or less, only the one percenters could afford regular air travel back then, so the entire plane could have first-class amenities and services.

But what about a wife forgetting her husband's birthday?
I am aware that the chances of that happening are super low, but still...
Tampa played excellent run defense against Cook, & I speculate they studied him & knew what to expect. Buf should have tried different running backs to see if it made a difference vs. of going with Cook 16x, who averaged 3 yards/carry. Why not try Ty Johnson more after he had 9 yards on one carry.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

It makes me wonder if there is going to be legislation to force the selling price to be multiples of nickels.

That is something! Now, I am curious to find out how many times in history a write-in candidate has won.
I heard that the Lima elections got messy, but as an outsider, I was hesitant to take sides or form an opinion since I was not sure how reliable the information was that I was receiving.
What is next? For hell to freeze over?

It showed how out of touch #DNC leadership is—and has been— with what people really want and need.

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.
