Every 4th, Nathan's Famous does a hotdog eating contest and every year Joey Chestnut beats the competition. In 10 minutes he consumed 62 hotdogs. The 2nd place winner trailed by 14 dogs...

The Taliban in Afghanistan expect countries to supply aid to the country, despite the imposition of their strict rules about, no schools for women, or universities. Restrictions on dress and movement.
Well, they need to be told, no aid unless all restrictions are lifted. See how they deal with that.

What does multiculturalism mean? Well to me it means that through migration a country can undergo huge changes. With an influx of different races of people, you get a change to the architecture of towns and cities. Suddenly mosques appear. Areas become concentrated with separate communities that don't integrate, or want to integrate. People still communicate with their own language. There is a large increase in certain types of crime, including, gun crime, knife crime, drugs, drive by shootings, muggings, rivalry between gangs and sometimes due to religious differences eg Hindus against Muslims. A recent example was in the city of Leicester where riots broke out between Hindus and Muslims.
Thousands of illegal immigrants entering a country exasserbates the situation, when they are left to roam the streets.
Multiculturalism doesn't appear to work from what I have seen living near a city which is promoted as being proud to be such a good example.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin briefed his Belarusian counterpart on the situation in southern Russia as the private military company Wagner declared an armed rebellion against the country's leadership. The heads of state agreed on joint actions to prevent what many military experts were already calling a "coup" attempt. President of Belarus, having additionally specified the situation through his own channels, with the agreement with the President of Russia, held talks with the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Come on guys ,let me in on your opinions.

I've talked to several men through the years, that kept sending money to women they never even met , and sometimes hadn't even talked to them on the phone!..Just a friendly reminder to be careful.

My car has a front radar used in the safety system for Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) but sometimes the system gives a failure warning. I called Mazda USA and spoke to someone in customer relations who says they have no records of this happening to my model or others.
Last month, I dropped the car off for it's first service and told the service adviser about the failures and showed him photos of the warnings that appeared on the dashboard display.
He did a search and said there's nothing in history of this happening to any other vehicles.

Since they need to put the car to a test drive to try to reproduce the problem, I need to schedule an appointment for them to have the car at lease 2 days and arrange a (free) loaner. While I can make arrangements, I wasn't real sure about them being able to find the trouble. For me it starts while I'm on the highway and it's raining happening about 80% of the time.

I spoke to a friend who used to work at a car dealer and he asked "Did you Google it?"

Pretty simple and I found a few Mazda Tech sites where people post questions and get responses from other car owners. I found EXACTLY what I was looking for. It appears on my model and several others current and dating back a few years. Not a new problem.

At this point, I now have the ammunition I need to get back to the dealer for something that should already know about. Making my point, I'll send the service manager some links that explain the issue, with photos so they can get to the source quickly.

Thanks Google!

Americans celebrate their Independence Day on July 4th. It's a legal holiday. The internet will be open, but most businesses will be closed. This year, the 4th falls on a Tuesday and many people are extending their holiday to include Monday, making this a (well deserved) 4-day weekend.

As I drive around the area, many billboards are advertising sales of fireworks. I'm sure there are restrictions in Florida to the type of legal fireworks being sold... that doesn't stop people getting fireworks deemed illegal in Florida while traveling to other states with relaxed laws... or slipping the store owner $20 to pull out a private stash in the back storeroom.

Typically, every city or municipality will do free fireworks displays in open areas and have proper safety equipment in the event of a mishap. The best displays I've seen are on the beach, where they have a barge about a half-mile offshore so people are in perfect viewing distance and far enough for safety should there be a misfire or explosion.

Enjoy, be safe and if you eat watermelon at a barbecue, be sure to spit the seeds into the grass and make Loh_key happy. If you happen to eat watermelon indoors, spit the seeds anyway!

Is this it? Did we spend our lives taking in knowledge as a child, growing up and experiencing encounters with different people and situations. Making mistakes and wrong decisions. Some of us having romantic relations to the point of marriage. Creating children. Watching and helping them develope into adults themselves. Then we may look back and think that if only we knew then what we know now. Perhaps, and most likely then, life could have been so different.
It seems so ridiculous that when you reach a point in life when you can reflect on the decisions you made and what you have now learned, that it can end and your life experiences mean nothing, and no longer valuable. You become just dust blowing in the wind.
OR IS THAT NOT THE CASE?

In my opinion, the most attractive East European women are from Ukraine. They are beautiful in looks and with their accent and intelligence, are the complete package. They show great strength and resourcefulness in their determination for freedom, despite the extreme opposition they are subjected to by their violent and invasive neighbours.
They get 10 out of 10 from me.

Any ladies from Ukraine are welcome to comment on my CS site.

Many years ago, I took a cheap serrated blade steak knife and used it for cutting watermelon. To accomplish this, I curved the blade. The plastic handle cracked last month. I when shopping for a replacement at the dollar store... where things are $1.25 now.

Times change and the steak knives they now carry, have a straight edge. No problem, so I bought two. I opened one package, washed it and was amazed at the quality of the knife.
Stainless steel with a moulded handle. It cuts much better than the other steak knives and I plan to go back and get a few more.

It cuts like a knife, but it feels so right!




The old knife served me well...
