When spring/summer arrive, it's dinner followed by a riverbank stroll. That's Paris in all its glory, Dear Gory.

I bathe in the delight of +100M people watching Bad Bunny vs barely 4M folks watching a lip-sync has-been.
Rather difficult to watch here due to blackouts etc. plus the nine hour time difference. Highlights today are great.

For the nearly 30 years you've been my friend and rescued me from countless episodes of peril, I'l relieved to not see my images in this thread.
Nor any future threads. Merci.

ETIAS delayed EU-wide until end of 2026. Even though I live here, I have get a stamp every time I depart or arrive the Schengen zone. After over 2.5 years here, I needed a new passport. This will end when ETIAS is implemented, as the same (digitized) ID is in my residency card.

Gin and soda. My former (American) GP told me to ditch the tonic and use sparkling water. After three tries, I converted. Fewer calories and chems.

Felon killed off the X. No more gull-wing doors.
The "hidden" handles should be explained to new PX. They are NOT that visible in the interior, but do exist.
I enjoyed my car for the three years I had it (before bailing out of the US). It was after that Felon's diet was evidently just ketamine.

Groundhog day is just another term for Versed. Just call it "Phil".

Oh wait, I'm talking rational social medicine again.
