Not every place is totally free of the old East.
I mentioned Chemnitz as one of the dreariest
places I've ever seen (not counting real slums).
True, communist countries don't have a monopoly on drearyness.
Though this Eastern Bloc brand of dreary is pretty
distinctive.
Mine aren't that bad yet. Sometimes fuzzy but overall, working.
Most people make their eyes work, sort of.
One way or another, got a yearly check up with the retinal specialist
next month.
He was just the one that happened to be picked. (G)
Well, he was a massive imperialist, a homosexual,
and might have liked Wagner if Wagner had been
born during his lifetime.
Not the kind of guy I'd like to befriend tho.
Not my first choice, but a lot of people make
allowances based on power and wealth.
A case of politics and strange bed fellows?
A case, I'd suspect, of short-term economic
self-interest taking precedence over all else.
That long, eh. So are you of the school that
says the team was named after the locals'
adeptness at dodging traffic or at dodging
trolley fares?
TBH, I have no thoughts one way or the other on it.
Having not the greatest opinion of Brooklyn, I do.
Title: Moist Rhubarb Coffeecake
That looks good. OTOH, I tried a strawberry-rhubarb ice cream plast
night, not very strong on either flavor, probably a bit more of the strawberry came out. Altho I like strawberry-rhubarb, I would not get it
as ice cream again.
For me, I kind of like strawberry and am okay
with rhubarb, but together, not so much. Ice
cream, doubtful. Sorbet maybe.
