OSUT 261: Will the King be neutered?? Only Expat knows for sure

[DoggyDaddy]

Dang it, I was going to talk to @OneBadV8 about that Quiet Place Day One movie and forgot all about it.

A country doesn't come back from that.

I'm glad I got to visit back in 2000. Saw a lot of beautiful scenery.

I've never left the USA and at this point I don't want to. It's bad enough here.

I've only been to Canada and Australia. I'd like to go to Canada again, but now you have to have a passport. Didn't need one when I went. I miss going fishing up there on the border with my parents and a friend of mine when I was a kid. Went to Mississauga (suburb of Toronto) on business a couple times when I worked for BMG Music Club. Susan used to talk about wanting to go to Mexico, but no way I'd do that now. In fact, Mexico is on our "do not travel" list at work.

I don't know how much influence the mayor would've had. Probably more due to parenting or the lack thereof.

The kind of lax parenting that would result in electing an unqualified poser like Bootyjudge to a high city office?
I can see that.

Made a Kroger run. Picked up some stuff to make sandwiches instead of going for restaurant/fast food every day. Got pastrami, ham and roast beef, a few honey crisp apples and some bananas. Also some frozen broccoli florets.

I get their deli sandwich kits sometimes. Usually a pack of deli cheese with 2-3 packs of deli meat too

Evenin' BD and V8.

Pre-2001 was the best time to see the world.

 

[ancjr]

TBH, I've liked to see less and less of it ever since then.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

So, did you think it was as stupid as I did? Especially near the end? I loved it when the guy jumped in to the water with the cat on his shoulder, and the cat was just as calm as can be. No freaking out at all. Yeah, right!

Also, the first two movies were set in rural upstate NY and people fought back, with guns! Day One was set in NYC and nobody fought back. They just spent time trying to run and hide. I guess art imitates life!

I've traveled extensively, years ago for work, but I have only traveled far and wide in Canada, Mexico and a few stops in Central America.

Never did any hunting, but I miss fishing Canadian waters, mostly, but had some great times off the coasts near Southern California, too.

This is where we used to go. We didn't stay at the hotel though. They used to have two primitive cabins out on a peninsula, about a quarter mile walk from the hotel, on Namakan lake. Did most of our fishing on Rainy Lake. Where we were, you actually looked south into Canada (we were in Minnesota).

Well, it was so loud in the city.

It at least made sense with the one guy in the boat that is sorta the leader of the island in the 2nd movie

And most cats hate water…. But not all of them.

I was curious how the little guy held his breath when they swam under water

All the jokers walk on calm water. Jesus walked on stormy seas.

I've heard that the Maine Coons tend to like water.

Our previous cat (Chunkadoodle) went camping/boating with us, and she would let us scoop water out of the lake and dump it on her to keep her cool out on the boat, no problem. But I don't think she'd have been as calm had we jumped into the lake while holding her.
