1. I actually love Trump's idea about buying Greenland!

Greenday can play American Idiot when we take over!

Or, maybe not?

[Aristus]

3. Or maybe Fezzik can finally get another job...

[JoeOtterbein]

6. + a million billion!...

...or sumin like that!

2. The Fair is coming

your way in a couple of weeks. Do you usually go?

[Aristus]

4. For one day, at least.

The one day that it's okay to eat a corn dog, an Earthquake Burger, a full-fat cup of chocolate milk, curly fries, scones...

Can't wait...

I live within walking distance of the fairgrounds, so I don't even have to pay for parking...

[GP6971]

16. We're probably going

sometime during the first week...haven't been in years.

[Aristus]

17. Maybe I'll see you there.

But we won't know it's each other...

[Trailrider1951]

18. Look for my granddaughter at the fish and chips place

It's her first job! at age 16

[Aristus]

20. I will!

Good for her.

5. Hi.

You and I are from the same hometown. Did you go to school there?

[Aristus]

7. No. I moved out here after I got married.

I went to school in Lakewood. Lakes High School.

Go Lancers!

8. My hubby was in ICU just over 24 hours ago

after a deer took him out on his motorcycle leaving him with 7 broken ribs and a lacerated spleen.

Tonight he is sitting next to me on the couch at home watching last week's recorded Seahawks game.

Dodged a bullet big time!

[Aristus]

10. Okay. Someone having a worse day than me.

Perspective is important.

Thank you.

I hope he will be well soon.

Is he in any pain?

[cilla4progress]

12. Yes.

He has available a smorgasbord of robaxin, oxycodone, tylenol, CBD candy and lotion.

I think he'll be Ok! 🤣

[Aristus]

13. ...

[cilla4progress]

14. Aww

thanks, A.

[Aristus]

15. ...

[Trailrider1951]

19. OMG! He's so lucky to still be with us

Healing vibes to him and a hug for you!

[cilla4progress]

21. Thanks, TR.

What kind of riding do you do on trails?

[Trailrider1951]

24. I used to race mountain bikes in Texas

That was 20 years and 30 lbs. ago LOL. Today I just ride for fun on nice days. I live 1 block from the Foothills trail:

and ride a comfort bike with a basket on the front.

[cilla4progress]

25. Oh FFS!

My husband (the one who crashed his motorcycle. Of course, I only have one. Husband that is.) used to race mountain bikes, too! And he was born in Pierce Co.! Going to PM you.

[marlakay]

22. Sorry to hear that

Only place I ever hit a deer in my car was coming back to Leavenworth from Lake Wenatchee at night.

Luckily only my car was hurt.

[cilla4progress]

23. Hi, Marlakay!

Yes, this was on Entiat River Rd. about 4 miles from our house! The drive home from work is 35 miles, so, missed it by that much!

It was only a matter of time...which is why I've been urging him to ditch the bike for some time now. Kinda hard for a 64 year old danger man to want to do. But he's now convinced. He does enough other high risk stuff - should keep him satisfied.

Good to hear from you!!!

[marlakay]

27. My husband finally sold his motorcycle

When it fell over and he couldn’t pick it up, he was embarrassed.

He is having a hard time accepting that he is getting older.

[cilla4progress]

28. Yep.

Hear you there.

Maybe you just revealed to me why my husband is being such a butthead to me right now!

[DonaldsRump]

9. "Talk to me, you never talk to me"

Great song by Genesis:

26. Hi Aristus

I just wanted to say I always enjoy your posts and comments. You’re very often a voice of reason and information!

My nephew and his family live in Coupeville and I’ve always wanted to come out and visit and see the Pacific NW. some day ....

29. You'll love it.

The mountains, the forests, the lakes and waterways...

It's beautiful...
