Random Thoughts VII 'Merica (RTTVII)

[wxman1]

SIL asked if I could fly her to a wedding in Michigan in June and said it is just on the other side of the lake. So I look into it. She is right it is just on the other side of the lake... the issue is that is a long Lake and it turns out this place is between Traverse City and Mackinaw. Now I am not about to cross lake Michigan in a single engine piston plane so I would go around the southern tip (insert innuendo joke here. I did a quick flight plan and it would only take 4.5-5 hours with good weather which is obviously much shorter than the time to drive. The round trip cost though would be $1,200....we won't be making this trip.

To stupid? Yes. To corrupt? That's a different matter.

Too. It's too.

Had a friend get a gigantic Prince tribute tattoo on her forearm. Not once have I ever heard her so much as even mention Prince in the entire time I've known her.

My gf is a little ****** at me for not giving a **** about Prince being dead. I have never known a Prince fan my entire life.

I think one or two of my kids might be, but I wouldn't recognize a song of his if you gave me sheet music that he signed.

It makes my heart sad.

Speaking of sad. Was channel flipping and ended up watching a PBS Frontline report/documentary following a family with four kids from Syria to Germany. No dad as I am guessing his abduction by ISIS was probably a fatal one. Really moving stuff. Lots of from the kids perspective. Follows them from 2013 to now.

The story of four children surviving in war-torn Aleppo, and their escape to a new life in Germany.

First night out in DSM, maybe I'll see WDSM tonight

We would get high and I would have her listen to Interpol and Radiohead and she would make me listen to Cat Power (awesome) and Fleet Foxes (terrible). I guess I'm just like let's save our sorrow for somebody that needs it.

The www.inforwars.com portion of that link automatically invalidates it.

You got that far? The fact that BDK posted it invalidates it.

I miss Bode. :cry:

Remember when he would give us the dumbest names as insults, like cyhasnopants or cyclonefoolzzz? And how he would come back from a weekend banning and go all scorched earth on an open letter to the mods? Those were the days. We were all so young and innocent back then.

Don't usually click on this thread but I just happened to this morning and saw this post. Gave me all sorts of feels. Whenever Bode posted It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. RIP Bode
