Hash Monday which means an earlier than usual post and less than usual to post about. I actually did some serious blogging this morning in the comments to yesterday’s post. Go check them out if you need more substance.

Günter is the Hare today which means I’ll be making my own trail. I’ll have a covey of the new girls trekking with me so I’ll try to keep it light and as fun as possible. More on that tomorrow.

Last night I changed things up a bit and did my drinking at Cheap Charlies. It’s my second favorite bar and a lot less solitary than the time I spend at Mangos. Even got to enjoy a nice sunset from there:

I do try and avoid politics here at LTG because arguing about shit on social media isn’t going to change any minds. Besides, one of the advantages of living overseas is to not have all that bullshit in your face 24/7. Still, I do spend a couple of hours each morning catching up on the news from back home. It should come as no surprise that lefty heads are exploding over the Supreme Court vacancy. The hypocrisy of calling the Republicans hypocrites on moving forward with the nomination of a Ginsberg replacement is off the charts. Check out this collection of what the same Democrat leaders were saying in 2016 versus what they are saying now. And this takedown of Senator Dick “stolen valor” Blumenthal is priceless. Both worth the quick read involved.

Alright, let’s clean our palate with something for the foodies out there. I mean, I post some pics of stuff I cook here pretty frequently but the guy who created this masterpiece is a frickin’ genius:

And the only other thing going on is me staying strong in the face of what feels like an active pursuit by my married friend “Judy”. I’m tempted but not quite that stupid. So far.

Stay tuned for more adventures! Gotta run now. Well, hike. But you know what I mean.
