Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I am mentally preparing myself for American hostages and increased loss of life in Afghanistan - where we may have to go back in because of the way the situation was mishandled. I also fully expect that the worst images will be shown by the foreign press as US media tries to downplay any potentially damaging images to the Biden Administration... Reminder that Jacqueline Bisset pretty much single-handedly created the Wet T-Shirt craze in the late 70's early 80's after her appearance in the movie The Deep... Pretty sure I'm not friends with anyone who disagrees with giving Afghan interpreters US citizenship. And also pretty sure I wouldn't want to know anyone who would disagree with that policy... Buying "carbon off-sets" to me always seemed like the modern equivalent of rich Northerners paying for replacements to fight for them in the Civil War. And just as hypocritical... I went to years of Catholic School and we were never told that Saint Peter - the Rock on which Jesus built his church - was married. Wonder why the Catholic Church conveniently forgot that aspect of Peter's life?...
