For two weekends I've been trying to go swimming at Looking Glass Falls in the North Carolina Mountains. One weekend it was an "emergency" covered dish birthday party for an Aunt. The next weekend we didn't go because Petunia had a $25 coupon for Cracker Barrel in Anderson, SC. Here's a video that will tell you more about the falls: https://www.hdcarolina.com/episode/looking-glass-falls Here's what the falls look like

WonderWartHog99 replies on Aug 14, 2019:

@Apunzelle I’m not sure what that means? Between marriages, I had affairs. Took me a decade to establish the state of "If this is Thursday, this must be Susan." During that time, I didn't want to get married. Big deal for me was the old song "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?" It took serious hunting before I married again. More than a decade of rotating multiple affairs. Who says research can't be fun? >I don’t do “affairs,” let alone “multiple rotating” ones. Until you mentioned it, I had no idea what your domestic situation was. I was making a general observation not directly connected to you.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Aug 14, 2019:

Trump can't decide what **kind** of wall he wants. Forty feet high concrete wall or a five foot tall electrified barb wire wall? Additionally, he doesn't say how far that wall will extend. There are places on the border where nobody wants to cross -- too much desert and mountains. Those crossing the border illegally want a spot where they can find a bus stop or something resembling civilization rather than desert mountain climbing. Going to build a wall there? Estimates for the wall are all over the place. There is no leadership on the project.

## But how on earth are the Trumps continuing to get away with this shit??!! In this specific example **Because it didn't make the evening news.** Reading the newspaper which reports way more than the 20 minutes of the evening news is way down earlier decades.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Aug 14, 2019:

@daylily Nope. We'll always have printed news media for those who can't get enough details. How many people **read** news magazines, news letters, etc., is a small percentage of the population. Used to get to me is if they run the evening news against the inane game show The Wheel of Fortune, the wheel wins. Therefore my theory most Americans aren't all that informed about the news, especially the overseas news. I like to get my excessive news from hyperlinks to printed news mediums. Once at DrudgeReport.com I can click onto it's links to dozens of other printed mediums. Shall we look at what the Boston Globe says about it or the Boston Herald? The Drudge Report has hyperlinks to both newspapers. Additionally, they have English versions of international publications and some of my favorite columnists like Dave Berry.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Aug 14, 2019:

Suicide watch means the guards are watching him. However, they canceled the suicide watch even after marks showed up on his neck. The typical lifer jailbirds want to **kill** child molesters. They feel that way largely because a child molester can serve their time, get out and molest **their children.** As long as they are there for life, what would **additional** time mean? Therefore the most likely scenario is a lifer jailbird who reached trustee status killed him. Not the dozens of politicians who were connected with him, some lifer. Normal rule for white people is if they know someone in the slammer, they want to forget them. The prison is dragging their heels in their investigation hoping the spot light will go away or until they develop a credible theory for a scapegoat.

@azzow2 The only time I'll drive long distance for food is to Pelzer, SC (33 miles one way) to Discount Foods. (It should be salvage foods). The reason they're discount is because they salvage food from grocers that have expired "best used by" dates and product lines that have been dropped. Huge place, dirt cheap eats. They play Gospel music that hints "Save me Jesus from eating this stuff." Awful fruits and veggies. For videos and reviews see: http://www.frugalicity.com/bargain-foods-pelzer-sc.html When I go, I stop by in near a large flea market nearby called a jockey lot because they also sell livestock, including horses. They have the most exotic, freshest fruits and vegetables often sold by people who don't speak English. However the owner's children pick up English quickly and I might have to buy food from a six year old and pay his father.

@Petter It is only the sprawling megalopolis where one can not begin to guess where the city limit begins and ends that your rule holds true. If they have grid lock, you could have problems parking the car next to where you want to go: i.e. downtown Atlanta, Georgia. In NYC the grid lock never ends. In the Great White North of the US you may have to alternate which side of the street you park so the snow plows can get through. There's a Lena and Ollie joke about a couple who abandoned hope on keep track of it and parked in the home's garage instead. I've had the half day experience just trying to going from the south side of Atlanta to the north side. I refer to Atlanta traffic as anus gripping adventure. Pedestrians only zones are extremely rare. One of the things they mentioned that shock visitors to the US is the advertised price and the price you pay is a guide post. It never includes taxes or a tip. A 15% tip is expected even with the worst service. Here in Seneca the sales tax is seven percent. Sales tax varies where you are and what you're buying.

The major exception that shocked me was NYC, where it's best to forget the car and take the public transportation system. Believe it or shove it, there are three vehicles in NYC for every parking space. Back in 1998, while the earth was still cooling, I was shocked to see NYC parking garages advertising $430 a month for a parking space. Thanks for updating me about the 30 minute Spanish time lag.

@Logician >That's just wishful thinking on your part and I'll bet that you made that garbage up!! First, who did you place that bet with? Get ready to pay up. You make misdemeanors into felonies for border crossings. No points for that fiction. Unlike your claims I can refer to sources. For me it's just a question of which one to pick. You **never** cite sources. You just go wild with exclamation points. What theory are you operating on -- exclamation points make everything valid? "Alex Nowrasteh, a senior immigration policy analyst with the libertarian Cato Institute, points to Texas as an example, since it’s the state with the best data on crimes committed and counted by immigration status and was the subject of a recent report he wrote showing that criminal conviction and arrest rates for immigrants were "well below" those of native-born Americans." Source: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fact-check-trumps-claims-illegal-immigrant-crime-rates/story?id=60311860 Where are you getting your garbage? Trump? Like you, he makes up garbage as well. You're just stealing his garbage. You need to steal something better than garbage. Have you no standards for grand theft? >That means they broke our laws to get here, so every one of them is a criminal right off the bat!! We're talking misdemeanors for illegal border crossing. Your misdemeanors are serious crimes like as in traffic tickets. You got traffic tickets, you little criminal? Why we ought to send you and your family back to where you came from up to the third generation. It's on par with Trump saying native born congresswomen ought to be sent back to their parents country of origin because their parents weren't white. Trump's famous birther claims people held onto even after Obama produced his birth certificate. You're into high froth from your own unquestioned bigotry. Evil fart that I am, I'm questioning it. Petunia keeps reminding me I'm a mean old man.
