The whole “the election was rigged” thing is starting to turn against politicians who use it. Seems the public is so tired of it, their opinion of candidates using it is souring. FINALLY!!

No worries. I didn’t want to see it, but once I did, I can’t unsee it.

She was seeing the guy she ended up marrying behind Hank’s characters back before the crash. Rewatch the beginning and the end again for the subtle clues.

My general rule of thumb is if I want something from a company, I contact the company. If a company contacts me, they want something from me. I would not engage with a company that contacts me without my asking them to.

Not quite, but I do get moved by seeing great art. It’s really different seeing the real thing. Photos just don’t cut it. Good excuse to travel.

That’s definitely the place, I’m terrible with pronouncing Dutch names so I couldn’t say it. I’m wondering if maybe there was a front entrance that was under repair or something because I entered from an alley and the entrance was below street level, I went down a ramp. And there wasn’t a sign that I noticed.

If you’ve only seen photos of these great works and then completely by surprise you see the real thing up close. It’ll hit you pretty hard.
I had been in Amsterdam days prior and was awed by Van Gough and Rembrandt but I knew they were coming so I wasn’t bowled over like I was in The Hague.

I was, seeing those paintings by surprise completely took my breath away. I had to sit down or fall down. I spent about two hours in that room.

I was wandering around The Hague and went down an alleyway where I saw a bunch of Japanese tourists lined up at a door. There was no sign but I figured it was a museum and followed them inside where it was confirmed that I was entering a museum. I poked around from room to room till I came upon a room that had a Vermeer on each wall. Fortunately there was a round seat in the center of the room so I could sit as I was about to pass out. It was wonderful!

Also over the winter the Ukrainian troops will be getting more training on more sophisticated equipment that they are receiving. By spring Russia will be facing an even more devastating foe than they face right now.

I think so because the back wouldn’t be cut out at all. The white half pipe will act as the bend. I’ve done this and it worked fine. You can still go back to your original plan if you don’t like the results.

I would cut an arch in the front of the pipe (where the 1 is) and leave it as is.

Had my knee replaced using robotic surgery, the results were very positive and my recovery took less time than my friends non robotic replacement. Not sure I’d go that route with spinal surgery though.
