Nah, nobody holds a candle to you!

I know the lingo from some trips to Baja and elsewhere in my youth. Think of what the lyrics are saying. On a dark desert highway Smoking a joint (warm smell of colitus rising up through the air) Then he comes upon the Hotel California Is it a pot induced hallucination or is it a reality? It's similar to Coleridge and his opium dream "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a staely pleasure dome decree" https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/kubla-khan Believe what you want.

OK Sea Snake I am on Pattaya Talk and not Lonely Planet. You do great bar reports. Then you decide to be a jerk. I will still appreciate your good work. TC Sea Snake!

How sad.

Well back when theme out, that is what was discussed. I think you didn't meet Henly. You were with DUSA in Saigon with Yuri and Henry.

No. I didn't say that. In fact if you go back to what I said earlier about cigarrette butts you will see that. Keep up! More than one beach issue could be handled at the same time. Of course then you would expect competent government and city services. As MM pointed out the whole thing may be fake news. Your sea snake example was what was bizarre. At least I stayed on the beach! When the snakes start coming up on the beach, better yet Beach Road, get back to me.

The first neighborhood my ex-wife and I could afford to buy a house there was a school close by with a playground and we wanted to take the kids over for some fun. The play equipment are had a number of hypodermic needles lying about. Exit stage right. I imagine there is that sort of thing on the Pattaya beach also. Since walking on sand in shoes is difficult, most people take their shoes off. I would think that is a potential bigger health issue than cigarrette butts.

I may give it a try. Amazon seems to offer the series if you pay $2 an episode. I won't.

"The term "colitas" in the first stanza ("warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air") has been interpreted as a sexual slang or a reference to marijuana. "Colitas" means "little tails" in Spanish; in Mexican slang it refers to buds of the cannabis (marijuana) plant." Flower tops and not leaves are preferred for smoking. It is a well know term going back to my youth. "The term "colitas" in the first stanza ("warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air") has been interpreted as a sexual slang or a reference to marijuana.[43] "Colitas" means "little tails" in Spanish; in M

Typically all of the modern TVs have a port for the ethernet. On my modem I have four ports. I have two computers, a printer and my TV all hooked by ethernet directly to my modem. My modem allows me to WiFi also which is handy. I use my phone to surf the net when watching TV - WiFi so I don't use my data plan minutes. If your TV has an ethernet port and your modem is close enough and has a spare ethernet port, you could be streaming faster - unless your ISP screws you for money for streaming. I do Netflix and Amazon Prime that way. I can stream anything on the internet. The TV has a lot of

Did you hook the TV directly to your internet modem with an ethernet cable? It does require high speed transfer from the ISP but if you have it it is worth it. Here's a good article. 10-25 mps should be fast enough. I have 50 mps which is overkill. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/06/is-your-internet-service-fast-enough-for-streaming/index.htm

So, you do what you can that requires a youthful body when you are young and do other things as you age. I doubt I will be doing modern rollercoasters any more at my age. I gave up golf because of a bad knee and bad back. I haven't played competetive sports like softball and adult league basketball since my early 40's. I always found things to occupy my time that I enjoy. As things pop up that restrict me physically, I seek out other things. Ageing is about adjusting. Or one can just sit around and watch the world go by or watch TV. My next door neighbor is in his 40s. Paralyzed from the w

It's no better than a relegation league by your standards. Our best players often play in Europe.

The term soccer was actually invented by the British but the US adopted it as we had a game called football. You called it soccer early on. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/06/the-origin-of-the-word-soccer/ "The word soccer comes from an abbreviation for Association (from Association Football, the ‘official’ name for the game) plus the addition of the suffix –er." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/explore/whats-the-origin-of-the-word-soccer We tend to use the term football when addressing others who use the term in their lives, especially if we are fans of the g

I'm an ex-smoker too and when I was in the army learned to field strip butts. That had a practical reason in combat as butts left a trail that could be followed. My neighbor has a friend that smokes. The guy always tosses his butts in front of my house, in the gutter. I sweep them up. A disgusting habit and not good when thousands of butts are washed down into the storm drains and streams. A one year jail sentence seems harsh. A fine of $3,000+ does not seem unfair.

I started the new Star Trek and could not finish the first episode so I decided I would just finish watching it the next day on On Demand. When I went to CBS on On Demand, I found that they wanted to charge me a monthly fee for a rerun. I don't know about Orville. It tries to be a cross between sci fi drama and comedy. It just did not work for me and the premise of divorced couples as captain and first officer did not work for me, especially since the woman was caught cheating on him I am going to see if we get Spooks here in the States. If not I will put it in my Netflix cue. edi

Tin Star is also available on Amazon Prime for streaming. I didn't get past the first episode.

My doctor once told me, "Getting old ain't for sissies!" Shit, we all die and it's probably gonna hurt. Then there is the title of the first Jim Morrison biography: No One Here Gets Out Alive Too pessimistic for me. So, live. That seems simple but odd how many don't. Get out every day and engage with the world. I don't mean go shopping. No rocking chairs! We are human. Engage with fellow humans, every day. I agree with wac about younger ladies. My mom was 23 years junior to my dad. Kept him younger and then alive long after the emphysema should have claimed him. I am no

Two shows. Both available to stream from Netflix. Manhunt: Unabomber I learned a lot about Ted Kaczynski and how they caught him. What was really shocking was how the defense attorneys, prosecutor and judge conspired to stack the deck against him. This was in the Janet Reno era so it shouldn't be a surprise. That is the focus of episodes 7 and 8. Narcos season 1 A great look at the rise of Pablo Escobar and the Colombian cartels, the influence of Communism, the DEA and other aspects of the war on drugs, especially in Colombia but with perspective on what was occurring in the
