Good enough to still do what you like and old enough to have an excuse for everything else. I have really enjoyed my 70s so far and I just hope the second half will be as enjoyable. Thank you drron! I have some awesome role models in the Cooler! 😁 Your awesome photos and colour commentary are serving as inspiration! I am definitely looking forward to the next decade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueSeraSera Posted November 11, 2022 #15028 Share Posted November 11, 2022 As I reflect on my own fear of being too late to the party, I've decided that I too wish to say Happy Birthday Mysty! Although was it actually yesterday now? Regardless, words of Winston Churchill that I had on my wall when working in Research and Development : "Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." So, sending enthusiastic birthday wishes your way and kudos to Mr. Mysty for the thoughtful flowers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysty, on another Australian travel forum one person I know said this = "Maybe we should test all people in shopping centres and then they'd find so many more covid cases than the percentage on a cruise line. And now, given people don't need to isolate if well, then, I don't get the issue. But people see cruises and covid numbers and faint." But then there is this = from the same online newspaper ! "Christmas could be under threat from a fresh wave of Covid-19 that’s under way in Australia’s eastern states. A “soup” of Omicron variants, including BA.5, BA.2.75, XBB and BQ.1, is driving up case numbers across the country, all with the ability to escape immunity according to NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant.

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted November 12, 2022 #15045 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Since food porn seems to be a recurrent theme in this august forae , I thought I'd slip in today's football watching food - kind of lasagna, with Italian sausage from local pig farm, tomatoes & garlic from our garden, EVOO from the olde country, cheese from Parma, It, locally made ricotta from happy Oregon coastal cows, plus provolone from Wisconsin (sorry, purists), topped with roasted eggplant from Central Valley, California, slathered with Costco's quite decent pesto, and more parma. When you make something like this, if you are familiar with world history of trade, you realize that every thing in here used to be had at great expense - like black pepper, oregano & basil probably local, but pasta made from wheat grown in the Po River delta. Regarding football (I'm talking about the weird American version,) NCAA (college) Oregon Ducks playing Washington Huskies - a traditional grudge match. Ducks in contention for the Natty, perhaps. When considering the US version of football versus proper football (soccer) the rest of the world plays, I'm reminded of the Rolling Stones song - "It's Only Rock & Roll, But I Like It." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are the cases presenting as "flu"? At some point they will have to stop the hysteria associated with the original "plague" situation and deal with the reality of the current situation. Don't use initial knee jerk reactions if they are not required. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 13, 2022 #15050 Share Posted November 13, 2022 "The [Majestic Princess] outbreak is the single biggest case of cruise ship infections in Australia since the Ruby Princess docked in 2020." What pattern do we see here? This puts all the complaints about Silversea in a different quantum perspective! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
