True, the time signature indicates that but you can march to it and our director was more concerned about the tempo than anything. He wanted a snappy rendition around 1:30-1:45 or so.

He fell over, the ramp no longer counts

If it weren't already happening Myron would not have put that post up.

Why do you think we don't have federal laws governing voting rights?

Why do you think Durbin is dragging his feet on blue slips?

Who said anything about "capture"? Don't need to capture anything if you just shoot it.

Well, that's refreshingly honest of them.

Shit. They're going to try and stop Shellback ceremonies. Well, I guess on modern ships they have female sailors, so it's not always some dude dressing as Queen Amphitrite or her court.

Mrs. Arolpin & I discovered (quite by accident) that Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area has a rather large and well-attended nude beach. It was at least 100* F out, we had walked probably 1/2 mile across the burning sand to the beach, and at that point, we just decided that we were there, and it was fine.Then this absolutely stunning Italian couple sauntered in, looking like perfectly tanned statues. They were two of the most attractive people I've ever seen, and they kind of sat almost directly in front of us.Then about 15 minutes later a family with two teens showed up, and it was so hot that they just decided to deal with the awkwardness and embarrassment, rather than having to trek back across the sand, get in their car, and drive another mile to the next beach.

There's a buncha blue checks making excuses, saying the ramp was wet and therefore he needed to take extra care not to slip. Absolutely nothing to do with his general lack of physical fitness or the fact that he wears lifts.

Oh, sure, it's a waltz, but a sprightly one, and not a dirge.

Back in the 80's waterfowl were disappearing from GG Park. Rangers found a buried cache in the park. Turns out it was a group of recent Hmong immigrants who thought the park was a supermarket. A cultural misunderstanding that was resolved and nobody went to jail.
