We are flying directly from Chicago O'Hare to Lisbon on Delta for $367 RT. Of course we had credits of slightly more than that from May 2020. However, the cost of rental cars has jumped dramatically. I guess I shouldn't complain. It's still about $20 a day with insurance. But I will anyway. Thanks for the heads up.

If you know that tail gunner, perhaps I could employn him.

So he survived two things of real note, life 96 is very good, and the risk of sitting in a glass house being shot at over Germany. Brave those folk, makes our soft bunch look rather pathetic maybe even us.

He lost the nose, and part of an arm in the urban wars of the 2020s. But he survived and was a devout conservative in his later days. He left a picture of his neighborhood at the end of the last Turning. Said he never wished to see a Progressive again. Many of the Woke failed to wake at various intervals of this time.

I think that there are several countries that run the PCR to a Ct of 40 -- UK for example. This would be a deliberate attempt to 'talk up' the virus risks. Add to that the mandate that a death within 28 days of a positive PCR test must ALWAYS be recorded as a COVID-19 death and the recipe is there for a never-ending pandemic. Just what build back better Boris would like

I find it ominous and perhaps prophetic that 3.3 million global covid deaths, when normalized across a global population of 8 billion, is equal to the CO2 atmospheric concentration of 0.04%. Rod Serling could have gotten a whole series out of this. I am starting a new company named "Statistics Gone Wild". In an age of crypto and GDS, I expect a market cap in the billions shortly. If the advertizing is accompanied by hot babes in skimpy attire, together with a promotional pseudo scientist WHO looks like Dr. Evil, the sky's the limit. Go with throttle up Challenger. The true genius is in knowing when to bail. TALLY HO. (I am seriously off my meds today)
