I think taking part in the present always involves us considering the past. Indeed, one can’t even have a present without there being a past. Certainly the Floyd incident is consuming for many, and rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulS Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Packing a bag tonight in order to get a taxi at 4.30am tomorrow to the airport (1hr drive) to then take a plane north for 3.5hrs, before changing to a helicopter for a 2hr flight to deliver me to an offshore gas production facility approximately 250 miles out in the ocean, getting there about 3.30pm. Then a couple of hours work, dinner and bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkAzalea Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi. I'm new here. I went to the grocery store this morning. Here in the USA, we are starting to have some shortages again, but it's not too bad. Example: I buy lactose-free milk. I usually have several choices of brand and fat content, but today, if I wanted anything but whole milk, I could choose a larger container than I usually get which I may not use completely before it spoils, or an expensive organic container. (I got one of each, for what that tells about me, if you want to start getting to know me.) It was early morning and there were very few people in the store. I don't think I saw anyone with a mask. I would have if I had looked in a mirror--for what that tells about me, if you're still wanting to get to know me. 🙂 The rest of the day will be pretty ordinary.

Thanks Paul Yes, it is always and ever US. Never "others" or "them" Or as one wag once said:- There are two types of people in the world - those that divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't. Happy Christmas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
