This weekend is the first significant cold front of the hunting season here...almost a 20ºF difference in highs between Thursday and Friday.

I can't wait to get in the woods this Friday/Saturday. Should have the deer on their feet!

Hit up Oktoberfest in Munich yesterday, today was touring the country side visiting castles. Tomorrow planning on Dachau the Concentration Camp & Olympic stadium.

I've been to those places Wi. Dachau is a solemn place. Really emotional. I had the opportunity to visit it twice. But once was enough. Hopefully the Olympic stadium follows so the day ends in fun.

If you have time, go to the BMW museum. You won't regret it.

This was on a friend's facebook page, from his mom.

We got over to BMW but the museum was closed by then & it’s not open on Monday. We did see the M cars in their display as well as their huge showroom/restaurant/store. Hit the Olympic Park, toured the big stadium...all in all good time.

In Prague now, this city is pretty damn cool with tons of character & architecture,

I've been to Mexico several times.

Also, I've lived in Portland over 10 years and I haven't been to Canada. My son has.

During a commercial airline flight an experienced Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms.
When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.
The pilot pretended not to notice, and, upon disembarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related items.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "that's a good looking baby, and he sure was hungry!"
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said that the time spent on the breast would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
The pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "And all these years, I've been chewing gum.

One of those is me! I am VERY Caucasian. Working outside my entire life, I always sport a significant "farmer's tan". Was in a jewelry store a few years ago looking at wristwatches. When I took off my existing watch, the young lady was speechless. I asked if she had ever seen a "farmer's tan" before? She replied that she hadn't seen one that "colorful". I said, "Ma'am, just don't let your mind wander past the wrist or your imagination could do awful things to your composure!" She totally came unglued. Her boss came over to ask if she was okay. We both had a good laugh.
I have a further issue. As you know, a buddy and I own our own motorized golf cart. I always drive. So, my left leg sees considerably more sun than my right. I'm "tri-colored" during golf season.

Got into Budapest yesterday, we are on the Buda side a block from Budapest castle & have a block from the Danube river. The Pest side is ok but it’s mainly shopping, restaurants, & bars over there with not a ton of history. This side has the historical stuff, Rudas & Gellért baths, etc.
