Nice job on the pics, Butcher! Looks like you've got another successful batch o' ladies, as we've come to expect. I guess you could say you're a real
Ladies Man...
Bein' frosty ain't bad for a woman, as long as they're green...
Hi
Butcher
Last time I returned from the mainland the Capt. announced we were making
our final approach to Honolulu. A big cheer went up. When we landed another cheer went up. We were glad to be home.
Ever seen that while landing in Chicago or any other mainland city?
Too true, OMM. And the times I've traveled abroad, you'd see a lot more people smiling in and around Europe and elsewhere, even at the airports. The customs and immigration agents smile and say 'welcome to our country.' People hanging out at cafes, enjoying a
café con leche y pequeño desayuno before going off to work, and just enjoying their daily life more. Having a good quality of life and a healthy relaxed attitude does wonders for your demeanor. Maybe that's one reason why
Spain made growing small amounts of MJ legal back in '06...
Come back home, and it's almost like some sort of miasma settles over folks when they get back. Folks don't smile that much, they close up emotionally, and back to the 'same old, same old'. Perhaps if everyone smoked some good pot, it'd be different...
Ever notice they make damn good coffee just about everywhere else in the world but the US? Why is that? I figure too many accountants were trying to pinch a few more pennies from the profit margins by adding more
Robusta beans to the Folgers sometime after WWII and people started overbrewing in Percolators, and people gradually got used to drinking swill. Probably why some folks think Starbucks actually makes a good cup of coffee...

Keep up the good work, Butcher! Looking forward to seeing what you, SS, and others can do with some LEDs, too.
Regards,
