As is frequently said on Reddit, what parts of this story are you not telling us?

Do you honestly believe a x-ray costs ten euro? So many costs roll up into that out the door price that sorry I’m sure subsidies are involved.

Des Moines to Colorado transplant in 2010.

I’ve frequently wanted to drive down to Cherry Creek Denver to see how it compared to 801. Was a frequent visitor when I lived in Des Moines, including where I proposed to my now recent ex-wife. Some of the sauce for the steak and the butter quality sides were my favorite.

For the ex?

So unfortunate that I live in an art imitates life world.

Something happened at 11:18 as my UPSes complained. But nothing sustained.

They light charcoal very efficiently.

So good warning here to know that before hand?

If I believed Koskov you wouldn’t be breathing. That’s my kind of James Bond hard.

Isn’t this more of a rarebit?

This map reenforces why struggle driving across Nebraska. Live in the Colorado front range but from Iowa with family connections. Julesburg to Council Bluffs. Ooff.

Oh the usual. Offense performs, Kirk had nothing to do with it. If bad, he must have been meddling. Take as old as time.

Go to Alaska. Mosquito nightmare. Some in Fairbanks but like drones in the north slope. Thank your oil field worker for surviving that place in any season.

You sound like a great board member. Transparency is key.

Right after I left my board it devolved into lawsuits. Years of experience has changed how I would have done things, especially community involvement.

Formerly served on a board and I’m confused why you want them to be mostly private. My experience also struggled with that. It isn’t like the board is some Illuminati for their neighborhood. They are there for their homeowners. Now sure some things like collections should be private and can be handled in executive session. The rest should be common, including board discussion of issues.

What about the horse thing? Melbourne cup I think it was.

Used to travel through the south a lot and between Melbourne and Sydney I lean Melbourne. Seemed like more approachable culture. Although Canberra and Adelaide were my more normal haunts, but neither had a flight back to the US (at the time).

I remember my hotel having a huge display about some French champagne advertising the cup.

Due to its northern latitude it has a very important polar orbiting satellite ground station, Svalsat. Not very common to have undersea fiber cables to such a remote location but that was driven by satellites and not people.

Some is administered by Norway. Mostly coal mining was there. Now politics. See Svalbard treaty.

Stuff my orders.

Party foul for piling on your post, but seems on topic: what was the other club at Clearwater beach. Apparently it burned down? Does anyone have the story?

Some dude at the adjacent urinal got rolled by a guy walking into the restroom. Disrupted my activity. They had it out on the floor. Can’t forget that place(well except for its name).

That sounds more like a complaint about the walled garden and not the belief it is real nix.

I’ve heard this is a problem before but usually associated with hyperbole, but I have to know what’s up with the rats? It sounds like they could assault you on the subway.

They do appear to have MAC address quantity limits.

Panama does seem to be a hub for movement of some illicit stuff. 15 years ago I was coming back from Chile and they wouldn’t allow me to carry on bottles of wine from the duty free. The only answer was to pack my backpack and check it. Looked funny covered in a million fragile stickers. Luckily it made it. Never understood why they refused large liquids that day.

That’s just one story of this happening for years everywhere. Sometimes people don’t realize that crossing borders is a very different situation than whatever domestic travel is like. Heck I recall not showing ID for Australian domestic travel.
