The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“It’s not my intention to hurt anyone, but there are certain truths that we must face when ready. We condemn school policies like 8040 and 8350 because it would damage children, defile the holy image of God. I love all of my students, but I will never lie to them, regardless of the consequences." Byron [Tanner] Cross, the PE teacher at Leesburg Elementary


*


Quote II

“I want the same success for our children in our communities. That’s why in 2015, I was a founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul. I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies: Black lives do matter,” However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding Black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.” Rashad Turner

Quote III

Vandalizing someone's property is illegal and wrong. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)

Great. Dinner is looking more and more expensive.

The world’s largest meat supplier, JBS Foods, has been crippled by a cyberattack, the company announced, the latest hit to an already rattled supply chain that’s sent food costs soaring at grocery stores and restaurants.

As a result of the attack, large US and Canadian meat plants canceled shifts Tuesday, threatening to disrupt meat supply and further inflate food prices.

The White House has contacted major meat processors across the US to notify them of the incident and assess “any impact on supply,” principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said aboard Air Force One. She added that the FBI is investigating the hacking.

“The president has directed the administration to determine what we can do to mitigate any impacts as they may become necessary,” she said.


The Sun Setting Paste Eater, oh yeah, I feel really comforted by that.

If you have Amazon devices: A big heads up.

f you use Alexa, Echo, or any other Amazon device, you have only 10 days to opt out of an experiment that leaves your personal privacy and security hanging in the balance.

On June 8, the merchant, Web host, and entertainment behemoth will automatically enroll the devices in Amazon Sidewalk. The new wireless mesh service will share a small slice of your Internet bandwidth with nearby neighbors who don’t have connectivity and help you to their bandwidth when you don’t have a connection.

What drew you to your significant other? Intelligence or something else?

Intelligence can be detected but is not found attractive in videos and live interactions


Results suggest that intelligence is not important for initial attraction, which raises doubts concerning the sexual selection theory of intelligence.

All that love for The JEF is starting to disintegrate. The leaders of France and Germany want to know why Obama spied on them. Because he could and had no scruples.

Once upon a time, not that long ago, the biggest outrage in the world of politics was the "shocking" revelation made possible by Edward Snowden's exposure of the NSA's deep state operations, that the Obama administration had a penchant for spying... on everyone, and especially its top allies such as Angela Merkel who BlackBerry was notorious breached by US spies (yes, even the ultra-partisan outlet CNN covered it "Obama administration spied on German media as well as its government").

Of course, the outrage eventually died down with nothing changing - after all, the US deep state can and will spy on anyone and everyone it chooses, and it's not like the president has any control over it, but over the weekend the story reemerged when in an investigative report on Sunday, Danish public broadcaster Danmarks Radio and other European media outlets "discovered" the the NSA had eavesdropped on Danish underwater internet cables from 2012 to 2014 to spy on top politicians in Germany, Sweden, Norway and France (we of course knew all this from Snowden's original NSA leak but let's pretend it's news).

The NSA was able to access (and accessed) text messages, telephone calls and internet traffic including searches, chats and messaging services -- including those of Merkel, then-foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and then-opposition leader Peer Steinbruck, DR said.

Of course she panicked. She couldn't blow her way out of this assignment.


According to a new report from Newsmax “When President Joe Biden announced back in March that he was assigning Vice President Kamala Harris with the task of taking charge of immigration from Central America, her aides appeared to “panic,” according to a White House official, CNN reported on Tuesday.”

“This would increase the possibility that it could be politically damaging to Harris if she was connected to any failure at the southern border, where there has been a surge of illegal immigrants arriving, including a record number of unaccompanied children crossing into the U.S.”

“The panic was caused by concern that her assignment, which was to focus on conditions in Central America that push migrants to the US southern border and diplomatic efforts to mitigate those, was being intentionally misconstrued, according to the official,” the report adds.

The report claims “The official said the concern and dismay of the vice president’s aides increased when Republican critics and the media portrayed her new role as a border assignment and immigration czar, opening her up to criticism for the handling of the problem.”

The following column should be read by the likes of Paul Ryan, Charlie "3 Wives" Sykes, Kevin D. Williamson and Allahpundit to name just but a few.

America’s Elites Are Terrified of Hillbillies

Politics abound with oddities, but perhaps none is greater than the elite’s disproportionate reaction to the Jan. 6 Capitol mayhem as opposed to their response to the largely black rioting following George Floyd’s death. While the black rioting drew tens of thousands of participants, lasted months, and was indisputably violent with billions in property damage, the “Trumpist” occupation lasted only five hours and participants did not kill anyone or wantonly destroy property. It is hard to imagine two more profoundly different events, and critically, the differences were visible to TV viewers.

Why did the widespread, plain-to-see, Black Lives Matter violence during the COVID-19 epidemic receive a pass—even occasional praise—while Jan. 6 is treated akin to Pearl Harbor? Actual behavior is irrelevant. The explanation, in my estimation, lies in who the protestors were—blacks vs. Hillbillies. Put bluntly, blacks can riot for months, loot stores by the hundreds, and otherwise run amok; Hillbillies, by contrast, need only arrive in their pick-up trucks, assemble peacefully, and express some patriotic clichés, and this inspires dread in the left.

While elites largely turned a blind eye toward Blacks Lives Matter and their camp followers, even poo-pooing the widespread destruction of small businesses and the subsequent violent crime wave, they have depicted the Jan. 6 event as an “armed insurrection,” “ an attempted coup d’etat,” the "worst attack on the Capitol since the British burned it down in the War of 1812," and a "threat to our democracy" unrivaled since the Civil War, while describing the participants as “domestic terrorists.” Over the course of four months as many as 26,000 troops were deployed to protect the Capitol though the threat of imminent violence was minimal. That the House of Representatives recently voted for $1.9 billion to enhance Capitol security suggests that the Jan. 6 incident was, indeed, truly terrifying to the D.C. elites.

At the core of this elitist fear of Hillbillies (aka Po White, Rednecks, or Trailer Park Trash) is the elite’s realization that these denizens of rural America enjoy an almost genetic immunity to today’s race-based, politically correct narrative. Yes, the Dukes of Hazzard County folk may not be the brightest bulbs in the chandelier or especially well-informed politically, but when they hear mendacious anti-American lies, they may as well be rocket scientists. They admire America for what it is, not according to some bizarre ideology cooked up in a faculty lounge. Unlike timid elected officials, these people are not afraid of expressing “offensive’ views.

My oh my, he really is a Genius Award Winner. (H/T Slap Weasel)

Guthrie police had quite the surprise when they pulled over a car with an expired tag – the car turned out to be stolen, and police said they found a canister of radioactive uranium, a rattlesnake, and an open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey.

According to Guthrie police, an officer was patrolling the area of the 300 block of Viking Drive on June 25, when he noticed a car with an expired tag. The officer pulled over the car and spoke with the driver, later identified as 41-year-old Stephen Jennings.

Police said Jennings’ driver’s license was suspended, and the car he was driving had been reported stolen. He reportedly told officers that he had a firearm in the center console, and there was a timber rattlesnake in an aquarium in the back seat.

Officers said they searched the car and found a gun and an almost full open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey. Jennings and his passenger were placed in police custody, officers said.

A silver canister containing a yellow powdery substance was also found inside the car.

Good guy with a gun. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Ogden, UT – An armed elementary school teacher singlehandedly stopped a kidnapping-in-progress on a school playground while ushering nearly two dozen children to safety.

The harrowing incident occurred at Lincoln Elementary School on May 25, KTVX reported.

A teacher was watching the children on the playground from inside the building when he suddenly spotted a suspicious man on the grounds, police said.

85 From the 'family can suck' file:

Single Grandmother of two of my boys passed away recently. While working through the probate process, the boys were contacted by the executor and asked to sign a wavier to not contest a codicil, supposedly put into place by grandma, to the original will that removes my late wife, the boys' mother, from beneficiaries of grandma's estate. The result being my sons would have no right to what was once my then wife's share of the proceeds of grandma's estate.

As luck would have it, the official codicil cannot be found on file at the county court - only a copy is available.

Why no, they didn't sign the waivers. That was a pretty big 'f*ck no!'.

Ugh, People.

92 Dems are competent at winning elections, if not governing. The Border has been Hell for so long I seriously doubt anyone who says they are going to fix it. Sure the Dems are worse. Their play is easy. They do poll these things, they are not stupid. If the Border being Hell is the price they have to pay to keep their fragile coalition together, then so be it.

I remember in the 80s land owners on the border had illegals running rampant. Some of these land owners were so cash poor, and land rich, they would do anything to survive. The drug dealers would drop caches on the land owner's property and some criminal would pick it up. The land owner had to do nothing. And really, what could they do?
I think a lot of people on both sides have a lot of hubris to be talking about fixing the problem at the Border. What is next, banning crime?

Intelligence doesn't matter for a female, they just gotta look good (make sure they're on that stair stepper 5 days a week!), cook decent meals, plenty of sex, be feminine and not create turmoil and nag. Thats it. They can be as dumb as a doorknob as long as they're not a pain in the ass.
If they can carry on an intelligent conversation, then that's a bonus. If not, doesn't matter.

111 Johnny Horton was actually pretty good. He was just about to hit the really big time, when he was killed by a drunk driver in 1960; having penned or at least sang the title tune to North To Alaska starring John Wayne. He had a bit of the rockabilly side to him. He's most known for several "history" tunes that may or may not get annoying.

When I was about 5 I had the "Ballad of New Orleans" on 45 and played it often. Really really often. Not as often as Brian Wilson and "Be My Baby", but really really often. My older brother broke it in half, fucker. Apparently he didn't appreciate
that tune, discriminating tastes, ya'll.

Posted by: Quint

The "border crisis" is inextricably linked to both heavy-duty drug cartel crime and the big class problems in Mexico.
Indians and the part - Indian mixed race people are usually the ones coming over the border, because they get treated like crap by the Spanish descendants who run the country and own most of everything of value.
And the Cartels exist because they have paid off most politicians in Mexico, and the government is just so corrupt.
And...it's coming here (well, it's already here).

with anything cooked on the natural gas equipment (fryers, fiat top,

heh, a good lesson there is being a normal person in business. I still recall a local donut shop a few years back. Their computer went down and they had only been running the shop for a few weeks. The employees had no idea what to do. So they locked the doors during business hours and really, that is about it. A small crowd formed and the crowd looked at them and they looked at the crowd through a locked door. There had to be other options. Crap, you already had ten employees getting paid, you already had all you equipment running. At the absolute worst they could have given away couple hundred bucks worth of dough. Instead, they alienated a bunch of people on the first week.

247 I think the problem is nobody under the age of about 30 or so has the ability to "think", they have always been taught to follow orders so to speak.

They have never been given any discretion whatsoever in decision making. Consequently, they have very little, or sometimes no ability to lead. Just follow. This is not by accident. If the 'puter goes down - well just shoot yerself.

I have Horizon Zero Dawn on PC and it always does an "Optimizing Shaders" on start up that if you let it complete is supposed to shorten load times. It used to take 20-30 minutes it seemed for this process to finish. Now its like 3 minutes or less. At least I'm guessing it was the Days Gone driver, it might have been earlier.

269 Funny thing about food distribution. When Rod Rosenstein's sister and the MSM conspired to start the 'rona panic to derail Trump's economy, there was a massive food supply distribution interruption due to sudden insane demand. Trump rounded up all the CEOs of major food producers/distributors on day one. They had a nation of 300 million adequately supplied in no time.

The Obama crew takes over again, and they are torpedoing food distribution again, preparing the field for a hostile takeover of food production.

I don't know your situation thathalfrican. I do hope the best though, I hope all goes well. i am giving this advice from too many times in this situation. I don't know what the malady is so i wont go there. But if someone is truly feeling unwell, truly sick, then call 911. You pay for it with taxes. I know for a fact if you come in in an ambulance, you get seen first, you never even go to the waiting line.

Back in the day, people would drive themselves to the E.R. with all kinds of maladies, even heart attacks. It is a very bad idea in general and bad in the specific. Depending the situation, I say pull the trigger, call 911.

Now if someone truly is in a more dire need, sure, they should be able to figure that out and make a sane choice.

They slit my lower back open 8" and clamped it open so it bruised me. Then they dug in and cleaned out all kinds of crap, scar tissue, bone spurs, herniated discs.

Took 3.5 hrs and the slipped dics in two cases had worn the sheath of the spinal cord so thin when they had to move things they had to make two patches on my spinal cord.

The two Johnnies, Horton and Cash, were touring through prairie Canada, by bus, back in the 1950's. Together, IIRC, they wrote a song, "Girl From Saskatoon", which Cash recorded. He later learned that the girl who inspired that song was murdered, and never performed it again.

But no doubt it helps to be covered by real food. But even then i wouldn't re buy the stuff. i did it twice and it was ok.

I tried the impossible Whopper and it sucked. I tried the same version at a higher end place and it was still lacking. I can only vouch for the Hot Italian sausage in a well made Spaghetti dish. And even then, it is not worth it. It was ok as a one or two off, but that is about it.

I'm guessing Zero Dawn's success when the PS4 market for it was basically dead showed them that they can make some more money off these games if they sell them on PC after sales trickle to negligible on console.
Posted by: buzzion at June 01, 2021 10:13 PM (vMCab)


I hope so. The gaming rags say no but they mostly just write up whatever the makers tell them to. I think steam Halo probably sold well after they released it there so there's definitely a market for console games on a pc. They don't want to cannibalize their console sales.

We need immigration, it's one of the things that made this country great, but

1) there need to be rules

2) those rules need to be followed.

And there is a difference between illegals sneaking over and the US Government flying into cities as some secret relocation project to socially engineer some electoral advantage or some false flag crisis where we cede them more power.

Speaking of that POS Fauxci, some of his emails from early last year have been released (whether by FOIA or leaks or what, I don't know).

Anyway, he's good frenz with his Chicom counterparts, email penpals. Fauxci told the Chicom, "We're in this together".

Also, when the first lab leak rumors starting coming out, they were worried about that and needed to tamp it down. Peter Daszak's personally thanked Fauxci for tamping down the lab leak theory.

Daszak is of course the one who funded Wuhan research with Fauci's money. He's also at the center of "Lancetgate", organizing a bunch of credentialed bigshot to sing off on paper dismissing the lab leak. That amounts to scientific fraud, BTW.

I have an older Toyota SUV. The engine is super powerful and supposedly on of the best truck engines ever made. But I would be lying to tell you all was perfect.

477 So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one a bout their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools
and robs the spirit of its vision.When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled
with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

At Rotten Tomatoes apparently there's a huge disparity between the critics' scores and the viewers' scores, which some people think reflects that the movie is about making smelly Walmart people who vote for Trump seem human. I now understand that J.D. Vance is on the bandwagon of restoring America's shared stories to prevent us from fracturing even more. Sort of the anti-1619 project. Good for him.

At the top of ZeroHedge is a post with some interesting internal emails that discuss Zerohedge's post about a now withdraw paper by the discover of the HIV virus who said the Covid virus had 3 inserts from the HIV virus (and interestingly an aborted Australian vaccine trial caused false positive HIV tests).

Anyway, a link to that ZH post was sent to Fauxci. Fauxci's reply is completely redacted, save for some "sorry to be so late replying" shit.

482 I always wondered what happened with the paint on the 1990s-2000s Chevy and GMC pickups. There's like a ten year stretch of those with the paint peeled off in bedsheet-sized chunks off the hoods and roofs. And no other brands from those model years seem to be peeling like that. Just GM.

They were using water-borne paints, which didn't work too well. '96 Suburban: excellent paint, no problems. '97 Suburban: peeling clearcoat like a MF'er. '99 Suburban, bought in Arizona: paint is real sunstruck, but not actually peeling.

GM went cheap. (d'uh!) Instead of actual Galvanizing, they went with a water-based, zinc-laden primer, applied in a vat-dip process. Well, the "primer" would in time leach out the zinc, which would break the bond with the paint, and Bob's yer Uncle, there goes the finish!

491 Rednecks are any rural whites who were too poor to have field hands and had to tend to their own crops. Generally social conservative but with a populist bent against the city folk and the large landowners who run the politics to their own favor.

Hillbillies are descendants of Scottish driven from their lands on the border of England, first to Ireland in the early 1700s then to the American colonies. They were too poor to afford even the redclay uplands and had to settle in the hills. They still have remnants of the rotic R, and add R sounds where they don't belong, like holler instead of hollow, from their Scottish gaelic roots. They have their own music, customs, etc.

It was the truck he used to drive around the junk yard, it is had over 300,000 miles on it. He wasn't going to give me a part from his daily work truck.

513 make no mistake, i have grown to appreciate the Toyota. The engine is
super powerful and has never needed maintenance. Crap, it runs so pure
you can even be late on oil changes etc. But I have to be honest about
my experiences. They had to recall the frame and spray it with coating.
They have had many recalls on the air bags. And most of all, there are
sensors that have gone haywire. And this is in a vehicle that was
extremely well maintained. Hell, i know know that that the seller knew
what he was getting rid of, there is zero doubt about that. And the
dealer didn't give an F, they are crooks. It is still a great vehicle
if you like 14 miles a gallon. It is super powerful.

I spent the day outside. Cleaning up the "dump" in the northeast corner of my lot. Had an old Nissan pickup chassis siting there with a bunch of parts piled on it. Cut up the rusty Studebaker fenders and ran over the pieces with the tractor wheels to flatten them out. Worked a treat; get more metal on the truck that way. Scrap metal is bringing $210 a ton right now. And it is shit parts I will never use.

Then I dragged the Nissan frame itself out, and began cutting parts off it for the scrap truck. Halfway through that.

Easiest way I found to remember: First Cousins have grand-parents in common; Second Cousins have great-grand-parents in common. N-removed is for generations.

So if my grand-parents are your great-grandparents, then we are first cousins once removed. If your great-grandparents are my great-grandparents, then we are second cousins.

I simply think of it as levels of the family tree. Siblings are one level, then cousins. n-removed are n levels apart.

The children of your first cousin are you first cousins once removed. Their children, your first cousin's grandchildren, are your first cousins twice removed.

Your children and your first cousin's children are second cousins. Your children and your first cousin's grandchildren are second cousins once removed.

Half way through drying the sprouted oats in the sun in back yard, I started wondering if what I was doing was "normal" or "not really normal"

Test one: whomping the malted grains in the blender and adding the liquid. Result, sticky gluey dough. Not impressed.

And as I've concluded myself, their real purpose goes beyond mere GOF into bioweapon research. Thus US money and knowledge were helping the Chicoms do bioweapons.

Note how the loathsome Fauxci started out telling Rand Paul that NIH has not ever funded GOF research at the Wuhan lab to well, yes, we sorta funded them, but not for GOF, to well, hell, they could be doing anything there, we don't know for sure what they were doing. That was in response to probing by Sen. Kennedy (the good Kennedy, from Louisiana, who is damned laugh riot).

637 >> Time frame?

I have no idea how far this goes back. The intense interest in bat coronaviruses goes back to the first SARS, which was 2003 or so. That started the chain of events that led to "Hey, let's soup these damn viruses up and see how infectious we can make 'em!" By 2012, Fauxci was writing some paper about GOF, defending it, mentioning the possibility of lab leak was worth it.

His concern was not that it could cause a damned epidemic, but that the public reaction to it might harm the research.

There is a theory that, because of concern here in the US, that may have moved them to outsource it. To the Chicoms.

I was in London once and had to take a decent amount out. For some strange reason the ATM machine only spit out 5 pound notes. That was a new one, the 5 pounders are pretty cool notes. My favorite is the 2 pound coin. You don't see that every day, it is like the $2 bill. I always supported the idea of the 1 pound coin, it was pretty bad ass. But Americans are were, they hate dollar coins. They wont use them, but they will horde them as collectibles lol. That is the exact opposite of what currency is supposed to be.

For the record, let me make clear I do not think this here WuFlu virus, the SARS-Cov-2 virus as the fuckers call it (or whatever the hell they've decided to call it now, could change from day to day 'cause Woke), is an actual bioweapon.

The spike protein on it, however, is a highly engineered thing designed to maximize ability to infect human cells (some class of them). Thus the spike protein is a bioweapon component, you might call it.

They were playing with it, to see how well it could case various other virus "backbones" to infect human cells. One of their bat butthole - spike protein mixes got loose and that's our Sars-Cov-2.

642 I hope we don't have to go the way of Mexico and so many other nations, at some point you just lop off the zeros. I gave a guy a Greek Drachma the other day, because I am weird and sometimes i just give people stuff. Sure it was a ten Drachma coin, and pretty much worthless. I brought that coin from Greece in the mid 90s. I guess I owned it for almost forty years. I noticed it with my change and gave it to a guy who wouldn't know a drachma from a hole in the wall. I guess that is why I gave it to him. I also used to hand out Silver Certificates to interesting people I met at stores. You can always tell a good guy, particularly in this day and age they are easy to find. If a buck or two here or there makes someone think about history, that is worth it to me.

Don't forget the stupidity of those who make critical infrastructure like fuel supply and now food supply dependent on computer and network tech which they expose to the internet.

Now, ponder the same thing is true of, say, the electric power grid, which includes nyookular pawr plants. This latter, please God, do not let our nyookular pawr plant control systems be exposed to the internet even in an indirect way. But I don't know.

The grid systems are so exposed, mind you.

The pound coins I remember were heavy and thick. At least felt like they were worth something.

The Hungarian filler coins (aluminum) from the 70s-80s were different. Felt light and worthless (and they were).

The joke was that if you threw them up in the air, they might just stay there.

I remember some guys that were contractors in Iraq. Not talking about troops or really anyone else. The guys I knew spent a lot of Iraqi Dinars, they were sure they wold make a mint off them when it became the new Sweden. The same happened with stamps and if I recall correctly, stuff related to their first free election. I knew it was fools gold, well, I thought as much. Nothing wrong with trying I suppose, but if everyone is trying it is likely to fail. And then there is the issue about betting on Iraq.

you are like me. I never mention it. It became a shit show. Nothing wrong with trying something, but when everyone is doing it, it rarely ends well. Someone made that a thing, too bad because the chances to make a bundle were slight. Not knocking them, I could see people serious about what they were doing, caring and taking a chance. But yeah, they should have had people to at least tell them this was pie in the sky.

You hear these people all the time talking about defending women If this is not an attempt, and a success at ruining a woman's career for no reason, I really can't think of another example. My disgust has gone to plaid, and I am not kidding around. If someone can tell me one thing that became better as a result of the modern internet/wwweb, let me know.

672 I was stationed "over there" prior to the intro of the Euro. The US dollar was pretty strong against the Mark at the time. I found that I could get pretty snockered on a small compact pocketful of change, something most definitely not possible with American subsidiary coinage. In that sense dimes, nickels, and quarters are practically worthless. It wasn't always so.

At one time those were the workhorses of money, when you find the old coinage it is most often very worn, because it saw heavy use. When they converted to the Euro, they didn't make any adjustments - if a beer cost 2 Marks, now it cost 2 Euro - a huge increase. This really pissed a lot of people off, too. I remember buying beer buy the case (20 bottles, or 10 liters) for about eight bucks, and the equivalent of about $.75 during "happy hour" at a pub.

674 France was so much cheaper than the UK it was almost comical. It
was also one of the many times I had really great experiences in
France. Now I love me some UK, I lived there for a long time, and even
still it was not long enough. But I had to be honest, I have had more
in your face personal moments in France than the UK by far. And if you
knew my history, there is no chance you would guess I would ever say
such a thing.

But it was an interesting time. I am doing this from recollection, so
don't call me on this. My thing is I speak before I check the web, it
may be dumb, but is the how I roll. I recall going to Paris around that
time. The Euro currency was already set, although they used national
currencies like the Franc. I believe that was when the euro hit it's
nadir, it was something like 82 cents to a dollar.

677 Sure it helped that the Euro reached its nadir exactly at the right time. But also, i have to be honest, I have had more personal, hands on experiences as a lone traveler in France than almost any other country in Europe, including the UK, and place I lived in for many, many months.

I used to be the biggest anti French guy ever. I recall as a kid, I called them "Frogs with Dogs". A Euro tour guide and some others made me at least give them a chance. Sure a bunch are pricks, but many of us are pricks as well. On the whole, my memories o France are some of the best. I even made some female aquaintances who became long lived pen pals.

I know it is cool to as a conservative to not like France. I am not trying to change opinions. I just know what I personally experienced. My favorite country over there is Spain, and I have my own reasons for that.

I was lucky, I was in London for months, many months. I went to Paris exactly when the Euro hit the bottom. Everything seemed cheaper, and more available. You can probably look up the year, it was in 2000 or right around there.

I did an audio tape i still have, one i plan to send to a relative. It was my thoughts about that time. Look, I love London, I have been there six or seven times and lived there for a while. But that time in France was eye opening. I had been there before but there was something about that time. I am not saying it can be replicated or another person's experiences will be the same. On thing I had on my side was I studied the language like crazy for a year or two. And that is funny, because in College I took Spanish.

It wasn't always so.

a lot of things are set in our minds based on our own experiences. I followed these currencies for many years, and yes, a bunch of them became set my my mind. A pound was $1.50. If it went higher, we were in trouble. I know it was more like $2.50 at one point, but that was long before my time. A Franc was 20 cents, five French Francs equaled a dollar. A German Mark was 50 cents. A Dutch Guilder as similar but I don't know the exact exchange in 2000. The Italian Lira and Greek Drachma's had a lot of zeroes, the Itilian lira has the most. I miss the old school ways, though the money changing caused price. Looking back, I miss the old Europe.

if you have more on this, I would love to hear it, and I am sure the Horde would as well. I have only one anecdote regarding French military men. I recall my dad telling me of this time. And my dad was old school American, aka, not big on the Frenchies. So they were flying a mission with a French guy in towe. Some idiot flew under an overpass to be cool I suppose. The French guy followed him. When they asked him what happened, he said "I am not going to go back to my country as a pussy!". That happened, and the least pro French guy ever, my father, told me that story.
