Get well. I got Covid days before Christmas in 2023. We were having Christmas at our house with a large gathering and had to cancel everything!

Lots of memories here!

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

When young people are encouraged to think critically and exposed to diverse cultures, they are more likely to become thoughtful voters.

Do love a great Margarita!

So proud of New York, New York! Maybe it’s time I visit.

Every state should be sending out a pamphlet on legislation with the pros and cons that is unbiased like we get here in Colorado. Also few people can see beyond their own decisions. They are only concerned with themselves and not the greater good.

Need to visit the Brandenburg area some day.

So beautiful! Looks like Croatia 🇭🇷 should be the next country on my European get away. Love your next door neighbor, Slovenia!

Along with mail in ballets, we get a blue booklet that goes into the financial details of amendments and other ballot measures. I feel we are the most informed voters in the country.

Every blue state should have all mail in balloting implemented. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state, plus DC do all mail in ballots. It also give the state a paper trail for recounts. In Europe this is a standard in most countries.

The only people that go to a voting booth in Colorado are people that just registered and wouldn’t get a mail in ballot. We can also register on Election Day to vote to. Eight states allow all mail in voting. The other 42 states are so missing out.

We are so lucky here in Colorado to have mail in ballots. Though most get dropped off at a monitored drop box. You can sit down at the table with your partner and research and hash over the possible choices. I have never voted more informed in my life! Everyone should be voting this way.

The only thing over the counter is NeuroGum. The main ingredients are L-Theanine and caffeine. The L-Theanine brings your brain down in the Alpha Wave state, which is where creativity shines.

🤣

Such a great season! There better be another 4th season to fill in the pieces of the cliff hanger!
