To name a few that come to mind : -- seeing my surname on a road 'via gal' along the Adriatic coast in Italy -- seeing a statue of Vladimir Il'ich Lenin in freedom square in Kharkiv Ukraine -- receiving a text message while sitting where the dead sea scrolls were discovered -- swimming in the sea of Galilee -- standing in Herculaneum and seeing mt Vesuvius about 4 miles away and observing that the volcano in 79 ad buried Herculanium in over 80 feet of ash and moved its coastline out about 1,600 feet into the gulf of Naples. -- getting drunk on really good beer in Berlin Germany. -- in the old college days and getting in a lot of off-shore drilling around corona del mar in southern california while sailing with some wealthy friends.
I purposely contradicted myself while being considered for jury selection for a p*dophile case. The defense attorney and his client decided to drop the idea of a hearing by a jury and let the judge decide the case.
"If an article from The Hill is to be believed, President Biden plans to run for reelection in 2024 telling former President Obama that this is his intention.
Many on the left, in addition to the right, have admitted Biden hasn't looked his best during his term. If he plans to campaign and run again it'll take the combined efforts of not only the Easter Bunny but Santa Claus, and a St. Patrick's Day leprechaun to save the president from avoiding blunders.
With sinking poll numbers, it's hard to believe Democrats would rally behind Biden after this term.
This scene from Blade Runner which has a super replicant showing mercy on a human that had tracked it down to kill it. I doubt anyone can perform it as well as Rutger Hauer.
