You could help save a life with a repost.

Those are some very threatening people.
Up on the overlooking balcony.

I know that all this negative news from the Feds about how horrible Portland is can only lead to one thing.
More tourist visits and dollars to the city.
I was only going to recharge my car as I passed by next month. Now I have a hotel reservation and am planning stops at breweries and restaurants.

Am I being too cynical today?
With all the B.S. that is flowing down the news at us, it is hard to be objective.

Hey, Mikey. It will all come to an end as soon as you get off your ass and put those who are being protested in jail.
Easy Peasy.

I can buy those exact outfits at several gun shops here in Southern California. Badges and insignia. How are we, as regular citizens, to distinguish them from regular kidnappers?
Local police can and should arrest these fools.

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Let us work together to make our dreams come true.

If only she had been wearing a black dress.
The song would write itself.
Long, cool woman in a black dress.

I will show myself out now.

It was just a day trip for this cutie.

I wonder if the Felon has ever ridden a bicycle like he could.
Golfing in a cart does not count as exercise that I have ever heard of.

"Oh Boy. We get to grapple with a beautiful woman in a thin dress.
This will show how manly and tough we are."

Thank you for posting this. I have not played this song in over 20 years. It only took two tries to get it right again.

Wait until you hit 80+. At 40 I was still running with the troops in the morning.

Well, Shit!

I did not cycle or run for 6 weeks while I was in Europe, and now that I am home, well, my regular 30-50 mile bike ride is more like an extended century when I got back to it. When you are old, it takes longer to get back into it.

I have been added to ANOTHER follow-back post. Well, Shit!
I will NOT follow any of you back.
I do not have time in my busy day of sleeping with cats, bicycling, and drinking whisky and beer to vet all of you.
Leave me out of it.

Not again!

A new Kent State would not be too big a line for him not to cross. When all the protesters are placed in Alligator Alcatraz, it would not be too much.
