  1. Close
  2. Haiti is my bet. Seeing a lot about it from Rubio.
  3. That was a nice win last night. Fuck Toronto. Snow Yankees.
  4. Sent you a DM. 1- Anything by Anthony Beevor. Craig was damn good. 2- If you have not read Remarque you are a commie. 3- Toland for Europe. 4- Pacific, check out the CBI AOR. And of course, Churchill's 5 volumes. Not all theaters. Lot of movement on the Eastern and Southern fronts. And don't forget all the cool shit that happened in Africa.
  5. We got this. We made it folks. Now go get your fleece and uggs ready.
  6. anyone got a hack?
  7. Fucking Angola man. Check out Kapuchinski's book about it. Great read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Day_of_Life
  8. Losing Anthony.... Have a no shit Cy Young pitcher (yeah, I know he is second), but DAMN.... A young team. Lots of fuck ups early in the season. But still. Fuck the Yankees.
  9. He should have let them fire him and gone and hung out with Jimbo.
  10. Early 2000's it was livable for them. Yeah they liked skiing inside the mall. Lot of time at the ocean. Weekends up in the mountains or dessert parks. Abu Dhabi was not what it is today. Not at all. My kids speak English, Spanish (pretty fluent), French (pretty good) and basic Arabic. So for Elementary school that ain't bad. I mean, I might know. I spent almost 8 years based out of there. It was let the kids live in a really nice house, friends of all over the world where they got to still see their dad most of the time, or nah, leave them back in Texas and rarely see them. But I know what you mean. I never liked it but it was the best place to work out of. I would never go back. It has gotten a shit ton worse and we got out of there as the pivot started.
  11. It was. Good school they attended, very diverse group of friends. I did not hide them in an English enclave.
  12. Yep. Leopards that shoot opiods. Man, that used to be a nice place. Growing up I loved going to Front Royal. Now it is just, well, mierda. We are fighting right now, and I still feel bad for the wife.
  13. How did she get into his car? I mean, someone put them there. He would have had to have given access if not him, so he knows something. Like we all know about the lake monster in austin.
  14. Tinho amigos en Praia. It is one of the places on our ops radar. But better for another thread. MORE LEOPARDS! OK, I got one. So I was up in Front Royal over the weekend. MAGA as all hell. Poor as shit, full of opiods, and man, the people.... God and Trump will save them. They are fucked. I feel bad for my wife who has to work there. Oh, and they fucked up Pad Thai. Like they added gummy worms to it. How do you fuck up a simple Thai meal? Fuck em.
  15. Eu falo. part of the rationale for those two locations on this project are 1- cost of living, and 2- capacity to travel anywhere. He suggested Dubai and I almost spit out my tea. Already did that and hated the place. I was happy when my boss told me I have to go to Kabul or Oman for an assignment. That was in the days when I focused on State and before the move to work USAID. My wife LOVED Dubai. Was a good place for the kids to grow up, but I could not stand it. I could not do England. Only Brits I get along with are those who got the fuck out of England.
  16. At 8:30 PM on fox? Wonder what their late night team will run with. Those are Late Night shows right?
  17. Interview today. well we think you might fit the Deputy role. It would be a cut in pay, but we would want you overseas. Where do you think is best. Me, trying hard not to smile. "South of France since I have a place to live cheap or Istanbul for travel would work." Job is supporting EU humanitarian and peacekeeping. Yeah, I could do it.... Long term plan has always been two small farms. East Slope of the Andes for part of the year, Highlands of Kenya for the rest.
  18. Start by shopping local. Instead of staying home and watching disney, go watch a live local band. Pretend none of this shit exists. But we won't.
  19. Shit man, I am a Spanish speaking white dude, born in Thailand (Dad was there serving as a SF Officer) and I carry my passport card. Showed to the family I am staying with. He is a retired SF Colonel, wife is Jordanian. Yep, she carries hers. No one is safe unless you are Amish, and well ya know you cannot trust them.
  20. The truth hurts. Especially to thin skinned people.
  21. It ain't the same as it is in the Dominican Republic. Was the first beer I ever had. love it. And nah, it ain't just cuz it is hot in the DR. It is a damn good beer.
