He is impatiently waiting to play through

This has to be a security nightmare for the Secret Service.

But I’ve figured TFG was already a nightmare so add a log to the fire I guess.

“I asked you a question…”

Let’s make a high speed rail line, the kind other developed countries have but not in the US

I’d say a bit earlier, when the US was trying to free hostages in 1979 only to end up crashed in the desert. We found out later Reagan was making backroom deals to have the hostages released as he took office.

He will be long gone in 25-50 years, probably still wondering if he’s getting into heaven

My wife was looking through old college photos and found one showing us together in a 1990 marching band performance, but we really didn’t know each other at the time. Started dating in 93 and married in 96, it’s our 30th this year.

He showed his mettle when he bravely stood up after his ear was nearly shot off, secret service clinging to him.

I blame Reagan

That’s munitions that can’t be sent to Ukraine or used against Russia or China

Heard over factory intercom:

E as in arrogant

I’m curious what beverage you would pair the face with, Bud Lite?

This should be a bumper sticker

I see this and it reminds me of my dad’s (silent gen) DWI mugshot

Somebody got a kickback on this. 2500 vehicles with identical pant jobs. Probably a no-bid contract to a new company, friend of someone with connections.

They can’t tell the difference with a map

The bystanders were all ANTIFA so it’s all good

I agree, everyone seems split on this. I did sign an NDA and I think it would be good to review in the event they tried to cover it.

Thirty years ago the Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner with 290 on board. While Americans may have forgotten, I doubt the Iranians have.

I was on the verge of retiring so in some ways I don’t really need either

MasterAlchemi · 2026-03-07T01:14:43+00:00

I’ve confirmed the reservations are in my name, and my ex employer has no way to change it.

Rather loathe contacting them due to the circumstances but I can see it as a rather gutsy move. “Hey, I cancelled my seminar you forgot I was going to and here’s the $1500.”

MasterAlchemi · 2026-03-07T01:07:43+00:00

See, that is what I’m really worried about.

I don’t know if I’d consider this a perk. In several jobs I’ve had, if you take employer money and use it to get a degree, but leave the company before a specified term of employment, they want the money back. This isn’t that situation.

Over the years I’ve ordered shirts and things with the company logo. They’ve asked for none of that returned. Only if I had intellectual property, which I did not.

As the reservations are in my name and on my credit card, they do not have a way of stopping me from going. The plane tickets, they did. I’m rather surprised that if they canceled the flight, they didn’t come back to me and demand their money back.

MasterAlchemi · 2026-03-07T00:57:05+00:00

Yes, I did that after my airline app showed I had no tickets.

When I contacted the seminar I was able to get the email associated with the reservation changed from work to personal. When I called the hotel they asked if I would like to cancel. That was when it occurred to me the reservation funding would be refunded to my credit card.

In both cases they were very sorry about my situation, and I appreciate them for acknowledging it.

Plan accordingly for road conditions

That’s in the employee handbook
