And you thought the moon was made of green cheese. Sorry, losers and haters!
“Isn’t that a great moon? Greatest moon ever. The best moon. Fantastic. Historic. Incredible. I know moons you’ve never heard of. I went to one of the best schools. I’m, like, really smart! Sorry, haters and losers! Nobody builds better moons than me. Believe me!”

Too bad we can’t convince the guy there’s a whole bunch of folks who’d just love him to go out there and be their prez. I’m sure he’s got wet-dreams of being prez of the world, but might he just might settle for prez of the moon?
Gawd help us all – this looks awful even from over here in Sicily where they’re getting ready for their own elections and a big fear is one of their BS populists, Silvio “Bunga Bunga” Berlusconi might come back to power. He and “Orange Hitler” would probably get on like the original Hitler and Mussolini!

Not to change the subject but I saw on line that the town of Ollolai on the island of Sardinia was giving away old housed for 1 euro on the condition that the new owner fix them up. How is the cycling on Sardinia?

They’re probably all Airbnbs by now.

Great cycling in Sardegna, but they are not the only ones trying to give away dilapidated homes in crumbling villages in Italy. They’re everywhere and usually require the kind of work described in “Under the Tuscan Sun” along with a budget to match- otherwise they wouldn’t be giving them away for a euro

Gotta change the subject one more time. Trying to move back to the “embargo” instituted in late 2017. 🙂
Larry: When do you actually plan to move permanently to Italy? Seems it’s always a few years out. I’m anxiously awaiting your “bucket list” move and full reports re la dolce vita! 🙂

We plan to be begging the Italians for permission to live here permanently this fall. As soon as we get that our Iowa shack will be sold off, various things packed up and we can say arrivederci to “Orange Hitler” and the US of A for good.
But we’re at the mercy of the Italian Consulate – each one is sort of its own little fiefdom it seems. We’ve heard horror stories about LA and NYC, but the folks in Chicago seem to like us so we’re optimistic at this point.

The color in your picture is right on. Orange like a cheeto, an orangutan’s ass, or a Kardashian brand sun tan spray. What a tool. Here’s the Urban Dictionary’s definition, which I think fits the orange julius.
“A person, typically male, who says or does things that cause you to give them a ‘what-are-you-even-doing-here’ look. The ‘what-are-you-even-doing-here’ look is classified by a glare in the tool’s direction and is usually accompanied by muttering of how big of a tool they are. The tool is usually someone who is unwelcome but no one has the balls to tell them to get lost. The tool is alwasys making comments that are out-of-place, out-of-line or just plain stupid. The tool is always trying too hard to fit in, and because of this, never will. However, the tool is useful because you can use them for things; money, rides, ect. “

PS: We did watch the eclipse this morning, and it was great. The moon was less red and much darker that we thought it might be.

We’re going get to so tired of great moons that we’ll get the best moons; and then we’ll get even better moons. Trust me.

You’ll need to edit that.

I skipped the Orange Turd’s address. But the eclipse this morning was excellent.
January 31, 2018 at 3:25 pm |
The eclipse was excellent, for sure. Herself and I both got to see it before she toddled off to the Death Star.

It takes someone as bad as Trump to inspire protesters as good as this guy:

Shitler, Il Douche, Cheetolini, Mango Mussolini. I’ve picked up and used quite a few names for…it. Thanks Patrick and others. I also use the acronym POSPOTUS to refer to “it”. I like to think I made it up and I hope millions have the exact same notion.
February 2, 2018 at 7:49 am |
Not clear! I like to think millions also believe •they• have created the perfect acronym for “it”.
February 2, 2018 at 8:42 am |
POSPOTUS! I like it. Way to go Libby. “Fake President” for sure. I saw that on a big orange banner hung on a fence on one of my ride routes.
