Pensant

Tom’s of Maine for 30 years and, occasionall, Malin + Goertz roll-on.

You can’t miss their red and white livery. Österreichisches Bundesbahnen-Austrian Federal Railways.

I’m a big Ljubljana fan. Passed Lake Bled en route from Salzburg to Ljubljana on ÖBB train. Gorgeous!

Yes, I also hiked up to the top of Mt Trebević, and walked along the luge track, then took the gondola back down. Saw some shelled houses on the way up. The Sarajevo airport wasn’t closed in 2018, because I flew into Sarajevo from Zagreb and flew out of it a few days later to Belgrade.

Same with the top surfers and snowboarders.

I rode my mountain bike to the top of Mt Ígman, which was the only open supply route to Sarajevo during the siege. I saw the remains of a French APC in a deep gully. The area around Sarajevo is breathtakingly green and beautiful. The people were really warm and friendly. After much research, I found that the Bosniak militias also ethnically cleansed Serbs from villages, although that’s not ever reported in the West.

I spent time mountain biking in Bosnia-Hercegovina in August 2018. Really enjoyed Sarajevo but it was a sad place with the Bosniaks resigned to a tough future without NATO and US protection. They’re worried that Serbia and Croatia will absorb most of the country, leaving a Muslim rump state. They know they’ll never be admitted to the EU. The Serbs already have 51% of the territory in their Republika Srpska. It’s an ancient history. The Serbs have always considered the Bosniaks as traitors to Orthodox Christianity and resented their privileged status under 5 centuries of Ottoman rule. They also despise some Bosniaks for their collaboration with the fascists during WW2. There was even a Muslim SS division (Handschar). So, it’s an ancient hatred, ameliorated only under the Tito regime, which many in the former Yugoslavia regard as a golden age.

I keep in touch with people I’ve met during my travels via WhatsApp. Some interesting items: Kyiv: unprepared for a surge, but thankfully the caseload is manageable. Worried about a weakened US and NATO leading Russia to grab more of the Donets. Kraków: everyone must wear face masks in public. All parks and gyms still closed. Montenegro and Serbia: Schadenfreude at the US’ predicament. They still haven’t forgotten the NATO air raids on Belgrade in 1999. Salzburg: easing restrictions. No tourists expected for a while. Only Germans allowed in at the moment.

The prison systems in many states have become hotspots.

Since she’s morbidly obese, she might consider fasting for two weeks.

You should post a pic of your fur baby!

I saw a regular the first half of March. So far, so good for both of us. I, too, suspect I may have had it in January, since I had most of the symptoms for weeks, and I rarely get sick. I’m going to get the antibody test in any event. As to when I rehire, perhaps late summer? Who knows?

Just thought it was a funny name. Cute kid, though.

Perusing Rentmen ads reveals a number of March and April reviews of providers, so there must still be a fair amount of hiring going on.

I think he’s from the Philly suburbs

I bought a pricey German-made Wahl on Amazon a few weeks ago. Turned out it was just a trimmer. Then I bought a cheaper Conair clippers set at Walgreen’s. While I haven’t tried the Conair yet, I’ve been using the Wahl around my ears and to lighten the sideburns. I’ll use the video posted above. Thinking of an overall 2, then a 1 for the sides and back. Basic military officer look.

Asking those absurd fees when he’s in a severe cash crunch violates an economic axiom.

While I see your point re overnights, once you’ve developed a rapport with a provider, as in my case, weekends, sometimes three nights, become common. I’d never do an overnight with a newbie, though.
