I’m guessing you still haven’t had a chance to talk directly with the two crazy ladies. Alas. That would’ve been entertaining, at least for us readers. But maybe that’s for the best if you’re now planning to offer some kind of testimony. Are you prepared to answer the “Why did you wait this long to say something” question?
As for testimony: I suppose you could just say, “I wrote all about it. Here’s the link.”

Interesting to see what different countries call a “river.” I’d probably call that a creek!

Better a gassy brain than a brainy ass, I guess. Or something like that.

D’oh! “Lead” can be pronounced “led” only if you’re talking about the metal. Otherwise, the past tense of “lead” is “led.”

I’ve left all social media at this point, including Quora, so I can’t view the linked information since I no longer have a Quora account. But, yeah: classic case of projection.

Here’s to the return of normalcy. In the litigious States, if an encounter left someone with bite marks on the arm, there’d be a lawsuit.

“C’est la vie, say the old folks. It goes to show you never can tell.”
I’ll be morbidly curious to hear the aftermath if you get a chance to interview the psycho ladies once they’re sober.

Life is indeed too short to spend it torturing yourself. Good call. Günter needs to get a new catchphrase. I think you’ve related his saying that “not like the Alps” line several times. Maybe he needs to go back to the Alps, eh?

Lots of beautiful pics, as always. The PI really does have its own charm. Now if only they could turn down the heat about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and reduce humidity by 25%…

Well, congrats on the win! Bask in your victory.

Spending time with an old friend
Glad to know things are getting better, health-wise. I’m sure your bitch missed you while you were away.

“Nipa Hut” sounds like the Filipino answer to Pizza Hut.

Here in Korea, I tend to think there’s a specific form of Murphy’s Law called “everything I like tends to disappear.” If the local grocery is stocking a particular cheese or deli cut of meat that I like, I can guarantee it’ll be gone in a few weeks. I feel almost as if my liking the item is what’s causing it to disappear, as if I labor under some sort of curse. The problem certainly appears with the consistency of a curse because it’s true: pretty much everything I like will ultimately disappear.
Ah, now I remember: Jack Bauer from “24” is the victim of a similar curse: all his friends and loved ones die around him over eight or nine seasons.
Good luck figuring out your supply problem. How much of this can be solved by ordering via Amazon?

A good Fifties diner will offer a decent spread of mid-tier food. The essence of the menu ought to be the hot and cold sandwiches, anything from a burger to a turkey club (with lots of bacon). Breakfast items ought to be the classics and old favorites, e.g., pancakes, eggs, sausages, bacon, waffles, etc. Salads should be Amurrican mainstays like chef and Caesar. Dessert should definitely include a slew of pies ranging from apple to chocolate. Appetizers should be generously sized and not too off-the-wall—things like cheese fries, modest nachos, or even Southern treats like fried pickles. Being by the ocean, this diner ought to have a decent American-style seafood menu: whitefish (baked or fried), fried clams, oysters (fresh, fried, whatever), and shrimp (steamed or fried, preferably seasoned with Old Bay). Maybe also something crab-themed. Soups should be classics like tomato, New England and/or Manhattan clam chowder, chicken noodle, and maybe even minestrone. “Healthy” or frou-frou menu items ought to be kept to a minimum—a small, dark corner for PC vegetarians and dieters who are determined not to enjoy themselves.
Too bad the breakfast wasn’t all that impressive on your first pass, but it may turn out that the resto is good at certain dishes and poor at others. My own experience with the local Ho Lee Chow up the street from my office has been along those lines: HLC has terrible General Tso’s, but their mushu pork is amazing, and their hot-and-sour soup is totally American-Chinese (or Chinese-American) in style. Good luck as you continue to explore this diner’s menu! I look forward to seeing pics of some of their better dishes.

Sorry to read that the trail was so bad. Next time you make a “never again” vow, though, keep it!

One of my American coworkers is Filipino by heritage, and he was talking about the eruption today. Pretty impressive, even for a small volcano.

Vincent’s darts appear to have the French flag on them. Coincidence?

Sometimes, it’s good to be creative; at other times, it’s better to play your favorite hits.

Good luck with darts and those Alley Cats girls!

Powerless to change the way things are
What criteria does your device measure to determine your sleep score? I can imagine things like heart rate, body temperature, breathing rate, and amount of movement throughout the night. This is done via your FitBit, I presume?
May power be restored quickly.

Good to know you’re mobile!

A serene sunset, indeed. Might be a good candidate for a “last look” if one were on one’s deathbed. What other photos of yours do you think might qualify for that honor? You’ve got quite a few gorgeous ones.

“When the Mullahs took over Iran[,] it was the left they purged first.”
This is a point that Dr. John Pepple, over at I Want a New Left, hammers on repeatedly. Yet American leftists and feminists keep cozying up to the Islamists. It’s the old “persuade the nice crocodile to eat you last” dynamic.
Your captcha code says “8 Feb.” Prophecy? Something big happening on that date?

I love how she wrote “Shite Muslims.” Inadvertent truth is the best kind. She’s a real piece of work, isn’t she.
Not a peep when Obama was drone-striking thousands, then suddenly an uproar when Trump moves to protect our own people and send a message about what future violence will entail. Kissing the enemy’s ass, indeed.
Meanwhile, liberals are upset that Trump is mulling a draw-down in Syria (and, while we’re at it, Afghanistan). From the libs’ point of view, we need to stay in Syria and fight (“We can’t abandon the Kurds!”). So the left is pro-war… except when it’s anti-war. Uh-huh.
Just predict to Carol that no war will come of what’s just happened. She seems convinced otherwise, so let reality be the arbiter, and we’ll soon see who’s closer to reality. All the smart people are saying, “Relax—not gonna be a war.” All the retards, meanwhile, are shitting their pants.

“And I ran, I ran so far away…”
Great, awesome memes!

Tourist crowds in the winter! I keep forgetting how close to the equator your adoptive home is.

John,
I had a smile when I hovered my cursor over the link. Truth be told, I already knew what you were linking to, as I think you’ve linked to it before.
Understood re: COPD, etc. Hope you find a competent doc.

First big photo essay of the year! Great pics as always.
Are you gonna see a doc or not about them lungs? I appreciate the urge to self-diagnose, seeing as I do it myself, but at some point, you oughtta leave it to the pros. Am getting worried. You might need some meds to help open up those airways.
Think it might be possible to live a simple life in a shack in the mountains, among all the creepie-crawlies?

May the new year bring new adventures and insights. Happy, indeed, to be along for the ride. Keep up the excellent blogging!
