Your travels have been going nicely?

AdLib3 hours ago
TW is like you, CL, Murph, and the rest of Voxers, hours can fly by with wide ranging, enjoyable and interesting conversation.
AdLib3 hours ago

Well, the fun began when the Buf-Bos flight was an hour late departing. Then we got to Boston and started circling around for 90 minutes. No word from the cockpit. Then we noticed we were climbing and heading SW. Then pilot says sorry, we tried to get into Bos but the weather stayed over it, so we’re off to JFK for Fuel. Land in JFK about 11. One hour later we cranked up the old steam engine and headed back to Boston. No one was allowed off the plane, even those heading to JFK in the beginning. We land in Boston at 01.20, just too late for the shuttle to where Tim would pick me up. We finally got our luggage at 3.00am!!!!! So I said Dammit and got a taxi to Milford, where i was booked into the Sonesta. It was the most terrifying taxi ride I ever had. He swerved all over the road,slowed down then sped up for no reason. I almost kissed the ground when he finally, after getting lost twice , dropped me off. at 5.00 AM.

That sounds insane! What a nightmare! And I know they don’t like to have too much fuel in planes than they need for their destinations but running low on fuel after an hour and a half extra?
AdLib3 hours ago
What kind of weather was over Boston? Thunderstorms? That cab ride though, I’ve had some worrisome drivers but yours sounds so much worse than the poor deivers I’ve ever had. And I’d guess the driver you get at 3am is not as likely to be sane or sober!
AdLib3 hours ago
Nah, they said the flight would be 2 hours longer than usual due to circling around the weather, like via Vermont!

It’s not like weather suddenly pops up from nowhere, how did they not anticipate the potentia issue? Or just a corporate greed situation of not wanting to delay a flight on the ground and possibly be subject to giving passengers compensation?
AdLib3 hours ago
BifgTstorms, huge rain, flooding, etc. All flights late so baggage all over the place. Nightmare. The driver was, i think night blind, couldn’t stay in his lane and when looking at the GPS, wandered all over the shop

Anyway, Loos as if someone, orange hued is about to Find Out.

Right, I know those kinds of storms can happen around this time of the year on the East Coast but as mentioned, they should’ve been able to track the storm, know the intensity and not forced everyone up in the air to be messed around with.
AdLib3 hours ago
Yep, can’t wait for next week, sure looks like the biggest indictment for 1/6 against Dump happens then.
AdLib3 hours ago
I think the oracle misread the chicken entrails.

Are we seeing, finally, the demise of Murderous Mitch? Hope so.
pinkpantheroz

And within the next 2 weeks, a conspiracy/racketeering case in GA against Trump. No way he has a prayer of winning but his only Hail Mary is hoping that somehow he can do what he has no real chance to do, win the presidency primarily to pardon himself from his many crimes. But…that won’t affect any convictions and imprisonments by the state of GA.
AdLib3 hours ago
Mitch looked like a ventriliquist dummy after the hand was pulled out.
AdLib3 hours ago
I hear he does not have the power to pardon himself, because he would have to admit all wrongdoing and his ego wouldn’t contemplate that.
pinkpantheroz

I hate to say it but I think a mandatory retirement age, maybe 70, may need to be instituted to keep these narcissists from staying in office until their bodies burst into dust.
AdLib3 hours ago
Agree, as do a lot of people now. Lifetime appointments should be abolished and term limits imposed, even if a bit generous.
pinkpantheroz

First off, I agree, he could never admit his guilt but that wouldn’t stop him from trying to pardon himself. I don’t think it’s constitutional anyway so if he did, he would technically be admitting guilt then have his pardon pulled and be opened up to prosecutions for admitting guilt.
AdLib3 hours ago
Hmmm, interesting. TW and I talked at length on this and other subjects. Boy, is he knowledgable

I don’t think people who are 80 years old can’t do the job in some cases. Look at Nancy Pelosi, she’s 83 and was recently one of the greatest Speakers in US history. It’s just that for one of her, you have McConnells, Feinsteins, Ron Johnsons, and other barely functioning pols.
AdLib3 hours ago
We both agree that one of the most dangerous players is Bannon.
pinkpantheroz
3 hours ago
Yes he is! Nothing more enjoyable than conversations with people who are so smart about so many things!
AdLib3 hours ago
Joe’s not doing too shabbily, is he?
pinkpantheroz
3 hours ago
Yes, Bannon hopefully will be caught up in Jack Smith’s 1/6 case and convicted and imprisoned for the rest of his unnatural life.
AdLib3 hours ago
From your lips…. Anyway, it is approaching 1.30 am in Dublin, so I’m going to say sorry, but I gotta sleep. Glad to be back, though. Take care and love to CL

Joe is doing very well and I give him a lot of credit for bringing around him a very smart and effective team in his Admin who have also helped make this one of the greatest presidencies. I wish Joe was younger and had more verve but he is handling the job very competently and efficiently so there really shouldn’t be a question between America under him or Trump.
AdLib3 hours ago
For sure. Cheerio for now.

Have a great night’s sleep! All all miss you later tonight! Glad you’re in Dublin and seeing Fergie! Night!
AdLib3 hours ago
All will

Hey Murph!
AdLiban hour ago
Just read through your conversation with PPO…..great stuff

Wish he could be here at the regular time but one of us has to cover Dublin.
AdLiban hour ago
Last two weeks I was in campaign meetings……really think a lot of Kunce.

Hey Ad and Murph!

Any thoughts stand out from the meetings?

Hey CL!
AdLiban hour ago
Time zone differences make for tricky conversations.
MurphTheSurf3

CL….you and me here early…….omen?
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
Oh, -sorry to miss PPO!
choicelady
an hour ago
Yep, hard to get folks in the EU and Australia on our timeframe.
AdLiban hour ago
Well, let’s see how well the eyes hold up. It gets worse by the day.
choicelady

CL…what is going on with your eyes?
MurphTheSurf3
an hour ago
CL – PPO was here very early, hours before Vox starts.
AdLiban hour ago
CL – That is so messed up! I have lost so much faith in ophthalmologists.
AdLiban hour ago
Murph – same old, same old – cataract complicated by macular degeneration. Have the second surgery Sept. 18 with TWO surgeons just in case the cataract removal goes south as it did for the left eye a year ago.
choicelady
an hour ago
I have heard more cautionary tales from people who have had eye surgeries than success stories.
AdLiban hour ago
Well, anyone having JUST cataract surgery whom I have known have been very happy with it. But the double whammy is complicated, so I will be far better tended this time. The eye fixed last year is OK now but the right eye pretty much sucks.
choicelady
an hour ago
CL….oh my….that is awful and you have borne this burden for quite a while…I thought things were “looking up” (sorry! could resist) but apparently complications have become a part of the package.
