Holy crumb is that 42’ sail an extraordinarily beautiful boat!!!! All natural finely finished woods port to starboard l could live on it for good!! What a cruiser she is!!!

The visual of it sailing ever so calmly against the waves breaking about and hearing it something well worth your time..I envy you splashing about the waters, feeling that warm summer breeze along with the sun warming your inner self bringing a smile only felt when on the water of energy and peace.....And the soul unites, one, within~~

Just stellar!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻✨

Lauderdale, as in Bahia Mar Marina??? Great location, great restaurants, views to die for and right there on the beach strip, everything you want at the Gallaria Shopping Mall, on Sunrise Blvd..too...🙃🤗

I lived at the Marina as a teenager... lolol... There every weekend running the strip and beach time galore..Also had a home in Pompano Bch. Off the Intercostal, 3 finger canals back..

Used to enter the Crime stoppers Fishing tournament at Pier 66 off Sunrise, never won it but what A weekend of sun and fun..Loved the weigh in parties.. Dock and watch, turn in your catch, have a few celebration drinks..and thennnnnn best fresh catch of your choice, to dine on...Simply heaven..⭐️✨⭐️

BTW congrats on the kick off of your retirement!! You sure did it in style!!!👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks!

That sounds like it would make for an idyllic retirement. I know some people who live in Sunrise.

If only the boat were mine....

My plans thus far are retirement (final resting place? ) in the southern Az desert 🏜️, though recently, after Trump's Mt. Rushmore speech, I received an email from a friend and old colleague who lives in S. Dakota who attended it. We've spoken by phone since.

He is in the process of trying to talk me into retiring there, cold weather and all.

Among his "selling points" are the state's respect for the Second Amendment and what he terms "one of the lowest tax and cost of living places in the country."

Both sound good to me, especially with all that beautiful unmarred country up there to enjoy. For awhile I was thinking about northern Nevada for those same reasons, someplace in the Sierras. I once lived in Reno for eight years and have nothing but fond memories of the place.

Time, though not too much of it, will tell. 😁

Still boat sitting while my colleague fulfills an extended contract overseas. When he finally drags his tired butt back here, I'll be headed across the state line like a shot, the most beautiful sight in the world California in my rearview mirror.

In the meantime, I'm just coping with the toughness of the opportunity to go for nice leisurely sails and enjoy summer sea breezes. A lot of people don't know about a SoCal condition called June Gloom, wherein June is mostly overcast and chilly -- that seems to be over now with a hot, sunny July upon us.

So I'm just grinning and bearing it as I dwell aboard this 42' Marlow Hunter sailboat. Lot of chores to keep me busy, but the sailing makes up for it. I've taken trips as far south as northern Mexico and not long ago round tripped it to San Francisco, though I only hung out for a day and stayed in the Marina district, lunch with friends, etc.

Been there, such a quaint old fashioned everything in the different Towns.. Love the Black Hills gold too~~Multi dimension or two tone shades.. When I’m ready to take a road trip gone to visit it a number of tines..

I love the governor too!! She's one jam up tough talking little firecracker.. She gave her speech about nothing taking place on her watch with Mount Rushmore, all I could do was smile. She made it quite clear that it is protected they do have plans, that it is a protected federal national historical site and she’s already been in contact with the feds relative to how they’re going to keep it Just as it is!! When asked what she meant, She smiled at the reporter and said “well now we don’t just tell everything we have planned should there be a need...”

Hot and cold temps run around up to 100 and down to the zero temps and minus such and such in the winter..Not much to worry about either way...🙃😂

The scenery none to top it, well ok, of course Colorado and the Grand Canyon things like that but it’s still absolutely beautiful there..

That governor looks like she's maybe in her thirties and yeah, she's a firebrand.

I will possibly be going up to visit my friend in South Dakota after my boat owning colleague returns, probably for a week or two during which time I do intend to finally see Mt. Rushmore in "person" (while I've driven through the state years ago, that's the only great national monument I haven't seen up close).

So far my Yuma move plans are still in place, but if I changed my mind and decided to retire in S. Dak., well, it's not like I would have a heavy itinerary placing me someplace else, so while I won't be looking to be convinced to retire there, I will keep an open mind. 😁

Always a nice place to visit, while based in Yuma...👍 Best of both worlds..Go where your heart desires...

Noem is actually 48, a young 48 in appearance, no doubt...

Here’s one gun toting winner who unseat a 5 term incumbent here in Co...
Another firecracker!!

Tipton conceded in an email sent by his longtime campaign consultant Michael Fortney.

“(Third) District Republicans have decided who they want to run against the Democrats this November,” Tipton wrote. “I want to congratulate Lauren Boebert and wish her and her supporters well.”

Boebert made a name for herself after loudly protesting Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’ orders to close businesses to fight the coronavirus pandemic. She opened her Shooters Grill restaurant in defiance of closure orders.

Boebert confronted then-Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke during a stop last year by in the Denver suburb of Aurora, questioning him on suggestions he’d confiscate guns — a moment that landed her on Fox News.

I wish I was in her District!! I followed her from her attack on Beto as she shut him down squirming over her pointed questions of the second amendment..

Like her common sense analogy and her guts to act!! A doer in motion.. She kept her restaurant open until they temporarily suspended her license for violating Polis order... took two fines over it first... lolol The donations she got to pay those fines well in excess of the fines..She hadn’t asked for help, people just started taping money to her windows of the restaurant..She made that known and the community told her keep it and use it for your campaign.. The rest is history.. BTW it wasn’t just money from the community but all over....

Forgot to say, the food she serves outstanding in flavor and employees are just as down to earth as she...

COVID-19 May Have Been Dormant Globally, Long Before China
GICexpat

The novel coronavirus has taken the world by storm and in unpredictable ways, affecting some severely and gravely while leaving nothing but a short-lived headache for others. Although there are still aspects of this virus that remain unknown, there is growing evidence that COVID-19 may have been lying dormant across the world until emerging under favorable environmental conditions, rather than originating in China, an expert from Oxford University believes.

Dr. Tom Jefferson, an expert from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) at Oxford University, has pointed to a string of recent discoveries of the virus’s presence around the world before it emerged in Asia to reveal its true origin as a global organism that was waiting for favorable conditions to finally emerge.

Based on such conditions, viruses can disappear as quickly as they emerge. “Where did SARS 1 go?” asked Jefferson. “It kind of just disappeared. It’s important to think about these things and start researching the ecology of viruses, understand how they originate, and how they mutate.”

He went on to add, “I think COVID-19 was already here — here meaning everywhere, not just in China. It’s very possible that it was a dormant virus that was eventually awaken by specific environmental conditions. The explanation could only be that these agents don’t come or go anywhere. They are always here and something ignites them, maybe human density or environmental conditions, and this is what we should look for.”

Back in early February, one COVID-19 case was found in the Falkland Islands, a remote South Atlantic archipelago on the Patagonian shelf, southeast of Argentina, which was traced back to a cruise ship sailing from South Georgia to Buenos Aires. Only on Day 8, when they had already begun sailing towards the Weddell Sea near Antartica, was the case identified. “Where did that case infection come from?” Jefferson asked. “Could it have been in the pre-cooked food that had been defrosted, thereby activating the dormant virus?”

“Strange things like this happened with Spanish Flu. In 1918, around 30 per cent of the population of Western Samoa died of Spanish Flu and they hadn’t had any communication with the outside world.”

According to a recent report on the digital publication ‘Science Focus’, traces of COVID-19 have been found in sewage samples from Spain, Italy and Brazil which pre-date its discovery in China.

A preprint study, which has not been peer reviewed yet, claims to have found the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genomes in a Barcelona sewage sample from March 12, 2019. The Italian National Institute of Health also announced in June that sewage water from Milan and Turin showed coronavirus traces dating back to December 18, long before the country's first confirmed cases.
