Just finished some to-do's on the laptop when I happened to think about RR. Thought, what the hell, lets see how things are going on the worlds (?) oldest political blog...
Anyway, hello to all the "Old Timers". Livetoride stills exists...albeit a little older, wiser and completely worn out on politics- or whatever you guys call what's been going on the last 7 years...

Welcome back, friend. It has been an eventful period, mostly not good. We're entering another. It's a good time, I think, to renew friendships and engage in sober (and not-so-sober) discussion.

A number of years back BC (Before Covid), my wife and I were watching morning news on CNN when a story came on about a plane crash in India. It seems that the flight was brought down by "celebratory gunfire" at a wedding. 13 people were killed in the crash. I admit to us laughing at the grisly irony.

On sober reflection, I said, "how awful that 13 people died in making us laugh." My wife's response, "Really. One or two would have been sufficient."

NWP, you're a sick puppy.
