Fair enough. Why Galveston, if I may ask?

I fled the Southland many years ago and live in Sac now. It just bugged me that it took 6 hours to drive away from the housing developments to try to get away from people, but by the time you got there, they were already there ahead of you. I'm sure it's much worse now. At least the air pollution is better now than it was then. :)

"I don't know if the reports are true," Gaetz began, before arguing ..."

Okay, I have to make a point about this common usage of the word, "argue". It's used everywhere, FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, etc ... But almost invariably the person in question is not making an argument. They are saying shit. And usually the saying of this shit is filled with innuendo ... it certainly doesn't come close to an argument.

I'm curious if the Doctor of Rhetoric, Doktor Zoom, also has this pet peeve.

Thanks for letting me vent.

That stupid show on HGTV. Mr. cc is a fan. Also too Juneteenth. And beach and still warm in October. And we can't go to Europe. And we've been to Florida and we're never going back*. And we've been to New Orleans, which was fun, but we've seen it, and now hurricane damage. And we've been to Arizona, although Tuscon comes up now and then, which we haven't seen, but its a much longer drive, and the VRBOs are not so cute. And we talked about San Diego - my nephew is there - but that's an even longer drive. And we have to drive, because someone can't bring his MJ on a plane. There you go. Basically, we're looking for someplace warm with a beach that we can drive to in a few days and that we haven't seen before. That is our decision-making process.

TBH, even Mr. cc is now saying maybe we don't go to Galveston. Maybe we go NEXT October, he said tonight. And in the meantime we acquire animals. Sigh. My hope when I retired, before Covid, was that we would travel to exotic places periodically for five years and then acquire animals and settle down. We went to New Orleans as our test run, just before the Covid lockdown. At least we got that in.

*I still really would like to go to the Dry Tortugas one day before it's underwater. Google it. And St. Augustine. So we might have to go to Florida again some day.

One of the things I miss about living in Chicago are the corn carts. And the guy who had an ice cream cart..Una fresa por favor. The guys who came to my street in a refrigerator truck with fresh produce. Sigh!

When I lived in Hollywood in the late 70's and early 80's, the air was so bad that my eyes would burn and my throat would get raw, just from breathing. When I flew into LA the first time, I could see this big brown/grey cloud in the distance. I thought we were flying into a thunderstorm, but I was wrong. That was the air in LA.

Beavis and Butthead were better at selling subscriptions door-to-door than those two are at lying.

I think the insurrectionists truly believed if they got to the representatives, the Republicans would side with them and help round up the Democrats for imprisonment/execution. And some obviously would have.

There's more to come? I have some catching up to do.

Galveston. Trying to stop in as few places as possible on the way down.

Can't say I blame you. Austin, Fort Worth, and El Paso are the only civilized places. I'm bound for El Paso in two weeks and hoping I don't get shot, beat up, or infected.
