If the total for the family is less than a billion I'll be surprised.

I sure hope it comes out soon though I'm sure they're working really hard to prevent it or come up with some weird excuse that his followers won't care about.

I'm sure they won't care anyway. He could spend 10 billion and they'd feel it was justified.

The only people who might care are those still unsure and they only matter in swing states, if they even exist...

God I love this crazy town. Full disclosure, the owner of this establishment is a diehard Never Trumper who usually has a snarky anti-Trump message on the other side of the sign. View attachment 141799

That has to be right before passing through Hialeah from somewhere to somewhere.

Spending the afternoon in the hospital... the missus had the chemo-pod removed, the procedure went smoothly and all is well. She'll be discharged in a couple of hours...
It has been six years, and time flew past really quick.

Best thoughts and wishes for continued recovery.

That's great to hear. May all continue to go well for her.

Are you heading somewhere exciting?

I've never been on a group holiday.

We are going to Vegas. I don't know the whole plan though lol.

It's also my first as well.

I care as my tax dollars likely are paying for it.

Yup. Right as you cross US27 north after Miami International and into "La Ciudad Que Progresa".

While i expected to hear this, I did bust out laughing after reading it...

That's great news! I hope she has a full recovery.

Sigh.

So just an update of my first week at work.

I've basically been thrown into the deep in. Barely had an introduction to the project or time to read up on anything.

With that I'm a bit annoyed. I've had constant emails asking me to review things with short timelines on things I have no idea about. So yeah it's been fun.

I also come to the understanding that I have the Cluster F### project. Which is always nice.

Things will get better in time but it's been a rough week.

It looks like I'll have the occasional trip to Spain and possibly Middle East as well.

 

[N_LaRUE]

On a personal note we're still looking for an apartment.

Not an easy task unfortunately.

Lastly, I decided to listen to that new Tool album, Fear Inoculum again. I can say I like it but not as much as their older stuff.

You can of course makes lots of excuses as to why it's different or not as good. Experiences, age, anxiety, etc.

To me what's lacking is the energy, the wit, sarcasm and anger of the previous albums.

It's very easy to hear too. Listen to any song on the new album then go listen to Vicarious or 10,000 Days or The Pot (probably one of my favourite songs & I've never touched the stuff).

The emotion just isn't in the music of the new album. It's pretty obvious.

Good new album but not anywhere near as good as their old stuff personally. Took too long to release the album.

Anyway that's my music critique.

 

[N_LaRUE]

Oh the reason for the new critique is because the first couple of times I listen I think the quality was off and I was right. It's sounds a lot better now

 

[N_LaRUE]

Ah 5 guys.. .

Still very American looking, even in France. Only the menu is in French, barely.

Funny know if I mentioned this or not but a good hamburger is hard to find here. Not that this is something I go looking for that often.

Left home at 4:40AM. Came back at 8:20PM.
Drove about 5.75 hours in absolute garbage LA traffic on a Friday. That was a really bad ending to an even crazier week.

How's everyone else's weekend going?
