This thread is for anyone who wants to frequent it.  We should all do better to make it more palatable for everyone. 
Including past monkeys, current humans, and current monkeys.

I'll take that as a good day greeting from another Texan but not yankees

Fook Off

Even short vacations get tiring at my age, for one thing, I may not sleep well in a motel.  

We came back down I-85 which is a mess outside the Perimeter all the time, maybe not 3 AM.  I'd hate to live out that way and have to use it often, stop and go for about 10 miles at 2 PM for no apparent reason.

I don't seem to have much trouble sleeping in hotels, even crappy hotels

but, I eat and drink well, and my mind is at ease

We stayed at a very nice place in the mountains, but to save a buck, I opted for a "queen suite", forgetting how small a queen is when you're used to a king.

I slept OK, but my wife said she didn't.  I agree Hilton places generally have decent mattresses and are clean.  We stayed at a HI "Expess" in Dahlonega that we knew was well maintained.  And it's right on the square.  

I think it's a great idea.  Not sure why the US isn't sending otherwise useless older weapons to Ukraine to be used up.

It's still a tank, better than state of the art body armor 

DONETSK REGION, Ukraine (AP) — Skimming the treetops, three Soviet-era attack helicopters bank and swoop down on a field after an early-morning mission to the front lines in the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Each day, they might fly three or four sorties, says the commander, whose two-crew Mi-24 helicopter, built about 40 years ago, is older than he is.

“We are carrying out combat tasks to destroy enemy vehicles, enemy personnel, we are working with pitch-up attacks from a distance from where the enemy can’t get us with their air defense system,” said the commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity for operational security reasons, in line with military regulations.

The conflict in Ukraine is largely an artillery war, with territory being fought for inch by inch under a barrage of shells and missiles. But Ukraine’s aviation capabilities play a significant role in the fight, the pilot said.
