The ONT does not recommend tour bus rides in India.
BUS PLUMMET Watch horror moment passenger films tourist bus veering off road and plunging down gorge leaving two children deadIf Ted Kennedy was alive he would be a perfect candidate for tour bus driver.
Watch the above video to see the final moments before the horror crash CHILLING footage has captured the moment a tourist bus lost control and plunged down a gorge in a horrific road accident in India. The fatal crash, caught on camera by an onboard passenger, has so far killed two children and severely injured 20 other people.
Some people go to Arizona to escape cold and snowy winters. Some just want to go to The Poozeum.
WHAT'S A POOZEUM?!
The Poozeum is an extraordinary FREE museum and gift shop located in the heart of Williams, Arizona – The Gateway to the Grand Canyon! Visitors will immerse themselves in the fascinating world of coprolites, or fossilized poop, while indulging in an experience that goes beyond the ordinary – it's instructive entertainment at its finest, and is suitable for visitors of all ages. Marvel at the sheer magnitude of thousands of real fossilized feces, including the eye-wateringly huge “Barnum” – the largest ever discovered! Snap unforgettable selfies next to a 4-foot-wide titanosaur poop replica, explore coprolite wonders through vibrant carnival banners, and be awestruck by "The Stinker" – a bronze masterpiece capturing the whimsy of a thoughtful T. rex perched on a toilet.

Women accused of murdering alleged ‘sugar daddy,’ using his severed — and still missing — thumb to make app purchases Police have arrested and now charged two women, Tiffany Taylor Gray and Audrey Miller, for the April murder of Fasil Teklemariam, a 53-year-old man from Washington, D.C., who was hit over the head, stabbed repeatedly and then had his thumb cut off and allegedly used by his killers to access his accounts and spend his money on Uber ride-shares, marijuana and alcohol.

About 80° in my shop.

Anyway I wound up stranded for 3 days in Holbrook AZ once. They sold fossilized everything there. In buildings that looked like Flintstones houses.
It all looked like rocks to me.
I think Arizona fossilizes shit at a faster rate than the rest of the world. People are probably buying dog shit from the 1920's.

I had/have to keep my albums in band name alphabetical order, then album release date when there are multiple albums of a group (like Jefferson Airplane/Starship, plus solo offshoots, and Ten Years After). If I didn't, I could never find a particular album when I wanted it. It's easily a couple a hundred albums plus, heavy on the plus.
But Fragile is a great album, with so many good songs. I really enjoy 'Heart of the Sunrise'.

Do any of you get Samsung care? I was going to but then read you get a refurbished phone. I barely leave the house. Always making sure that damn $2000 Can phone is with me is part of my new lifestyle apparently....
If Samsung gave a new phone, I'd sign up today.
But, I'm barely going to use it, don't travel much.

God did not 'bless you', there is no further religious meaning beyond simple territorial conquest and consolidation. Again, fair enough, it is the Way Of The World. If Israelis perceive a persistent threat in an aggressor, well then they can do whatever it is they need to do.
None of this is complex. I really, truly, personally, genuinely, believe monotheism did not handle its collision with Darwinism and Modern Science very well. I'm working on this in my Orthodox Church, and I'm not too inclined to play touchy-feely with so-called Jews obsessed with obsolete ideations.

The Democratic Party is tearing itself apart, which is both important and hilarious.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at July 10, 2024 10:15 PM (uxCna)
It is fascinating.
Some are publicly saying Joe Must Go! But most of these are low ranking Dems hoping to earn some cred when Joe Does Go to shore-up their election or re-election chances in their purple districts and states.
Some are publicly saying We Must Support Joe Forever! These are hedging their bets; they do not want to suffer the Wrath of Joe is he does not go. They will get on the Joe Must Go bandwagon when they calculate it is totally safe to do so.
The bulk of the Dems are terrified, IMHO. They want Joe To Go, ASAP. But are waiting to see if there will be Safety In Numbers against the Wrath of Joe if he does not go. They know that if they sign-on to a failed attempt to force JoeJillHunter out, JoeJillHunter will use every tool available to the President and Party Nominee to get revenge. Not a good position to be in as a senior Dem Representative or Senator with a goal of remaining in office until age 105.

Heritage has already identified multiple states in which a switch away from Biden before or after the nomination could mean serious trouble for the Democratic Party.
Heritage points out that many states — including swing states such as Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin — might not allow a replacement on the ballot.
Wisconsin does not allow a candidate's name to be withdrawn from the ballot except due to death. Nevada allows changes to its ballot up until 5:00pm on the fourth Friday of June in the election year — it also allows special consideration for if nominees die or are determined to be mentally unable to proceed.
Other states have restrictions on timing and the reason for withdrawal from ballots, while others have no procedures on the books, making the prospect of switching Biden out an even more perilous legal minefield.

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd says Biden’s refusal to step aside has made him “rethink a lot of the Biden biography. I still can’t believe he ran for president in the first place, given that his family was in crisis in 2018…You look at what has happened, I can’t believe he has put his family through this. And now, looking at his behavior now, in clinging to this, I think the entire narrative on Joe Biden is gonna change, in that everything’s always been about his ambition and his ambition comes first.”

I read something today that was both quite chilling and , I think, quite possibly a way out for the Democrat Party dilemma. Barack Obama is Biden's "running mate" as VP. It's all a nod and a wink. Once elected and inaugurated, Biden resigns, and Barack is President. The amendment for Presidential term limits only states that someone can only STAND for election two times, being elected both times, limiting an "elected" President to two terms.. Nothing would prohibit Obama from being Pedo Joe's running mate, and then becoming President when Joe resigns.
Scary, huh? Would keep the asshole leftish Democrats in the fold for the election.

The problem with most black politicians is that they are in heavily-black districts, so they've never had to try to get white people to vote for them.

The 22nd Amendment:
Section 1: No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President, shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
This does not preclude Barack Obama from being Joe Biden's running mate as Vice President, and then succeeding to the Presidency if Joe resigns for health issues, etc.
Obama will not be running for President a third time, just serving out the balance of Joe's term.

He proclaimed his everlasting loyalty to Biden for 12 minutes. (Yawn)
I can't figure why Fetterman wanted to do that appearance. What's in it for him? He acknowledged that he knew his listeners on FOX were millions of conservative Republicans.
His message is hardly going to resonate with that audience. He went on & on about Biden being one of our greatest presidents; all Biden's accomplishments, etc.
He did say that Trump was going to draw a yuuge crowd in Butler, PA, & that he expected PA to be very close in Nov.
He's worked his horrific stroke impairments all the way down to a slight stutter now, btw. Nothing else. Good for him.

They combined.
Alexander Campbell founded the American Restoration Movement in the early 19th century. He was pretty hardcore early on but became a little more ecumenical later in life so his movement split into the Churches of Christ and the Disciples of Christ of which Campbell mostly associated with the Disciples.
Meanwhile a guy name Barton Stone was spreading a gospel restoration message of his own and his churches became The Christian Church. Eventually Stone and Campbell joined forces and later on the Disciples and Christian Church formally united sometime in the 20th Century.
The Disciples went all in on liberalism.

They also say that Italian is almost dead as a language in this country. It is good that Italian immigrants made sure their kids spoke English, but is also kind of sad to me, They should’ve passed it on as a second language. It is a beautiful language.

Many people say the general dialect in Latin America is much closer to that of southern Spain, the region of Andalusia, than other parts of Spain. They say the reason for this is it was the Southern Spaniards, who came to the Americas on the boats. A lot of these overarching themes can seem really simple, but I think there is something to it. If you look at the Spanish spoken in Andulacia, it is much closer to Latin American Spanish than the Spanish spoken in Madrid.

That does seem to be the evolution. I wonder how many customs and beliefs persist despite long intervals. For example. my mother's family has lived here for nearly three hundred years, and they managed to assimilate quite well in that time.
But there were practices, beliefs, recipes, and the like that I now recognize were holdovers from Baden-Wurtemberg that came up again and again, although without them being seen as from the Old Country.
One example - my Mom was a diehard Protestant, yet when she saw a black cat cross the road in front of her, she would make the sign of the cross. (In a weird way, doing a circle with each of the four points.) She didn't see this as religious, or foreign, but simply something that "people did" to avoid bad luck.

People also sleep on the French making hay in Mexico, right up till the American Civil War.
The French played a major part in North America, but they seemed to play their hand poorly. They are great at infiltrating areas as they have done so all over the globe. But they have been beaten back for many years in East Asia, and now in Africa, Not that that is a good thing regarding Africa.
In someways the French expansion around the globe is more interesting than the British expansion. Many places even today still are happy to be under control or at least part of the French speaking world. But it looks like internationally the anti-western forces are more anti-French than even anti-American. You see in Africa countries that are switching official languages from French to English, But they are aligning with China and Russia, so we shouldn’t be too happy about that.

There is a point when you should say enough is enough. You’re not going to fix a place that doesn’t want to be fixed and if you fly a French flag or later, they’re going to tear it down and burn it. They would do the same to Americans to the Brits. I say leave it to the Chinese and Russians because I guarantee sooner or later the people were going to turn on them for the same reasons they turned on the West. Some things simply can’t be fixed.

My mother’s family were apple growers and my mom talked about applejack, but I’ve never tried a true homemade cider. Shame on me! Those grandparents were teetotaler‘s and I doubt they brewed booze.

But I've never cared much for either beer or wine, so couldn't say whether any of it was 'good' or 'bad'.

My cousin summed it up as, "we were trying for shine but made rocket fuel." Still, it was quite a stunt, and doing it right under the noses of their professors was a major achievement.

Not sure if this story means anything, but I love history, Booze, And booze history.
I have made the George Washington eggnog recipe a few times for Christmas.

I don’t mind people that slightly cooked the eggs for egg dog, but it isn’t to make them safer. If you do it exactly right, it might actually be better than raw because raw can give a flavor some don’t like. Again, let’s be honest this is America and 99.9% of people buy eggnog from a store.

The Founders' generation definitely had a higher tolerance for liquor than most people do today - my impression is that, at least in part, it's a carry-over effect from the need to find a safe substitute for water, which seems to have been a concern even with the Puritans who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and one reason why even children of the era drank low-alcohol brews.

Egg Dog, the cruelest colonial delight.

It was not a long term migration however, like other countries.

There was also a small migration after the Revocation of the Edict Of Nantes in 1685, which caused many French Huguenots to flee the country. My ancestors settled in New Amsterdam and left for the country in NJ.
History of New Amsterdam is interesting, the Dutch were quarrelsome. And despite what you may hear my ancestress, Grietje, was NOT the first whore in the New World. So she kept a tavern, the wives were just jealous of her friendships with their husbands and slandered her.

George Washington did like his boobs. There’s no question about that. I re-created the George Washington eggnog a few times and did it exactly to the recipe as he prescribed specific things like Jamaican rum, Spain, Sherry, and I think Madeira from the island of Madeira.
It is fun to re-create history and if you can drink it so much the better. The funny thing about George Washington is, I don’t think people study him enough. We all know him and love him, but we don’t study him enough. There is a crap load you can learn about life and how to live it if you spend more time studying George Washington. That’s just my opinion.

I see you are a man of discriminating tastes. To add to my story about Grietje, the New Amsterdam bartendress, she and her husband were expelled and not allowed to live in the town limits (now lower Manhattan). I think they had to move to Brooklyn, the boonies then.
