Re: Joining NATO

FB has lost almost all value for me as well. Groups is a good place for interacting with people of common interest. I'm in a few WWII Unit history groups, motorcycle racing and ski groups that I get benefit and entertainment from. Never used FB for news myself. What Elon sends me on X is currently a...

Re: Joining NATO

Covid. No parties We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary like a couple of newly weds at an Airbnb with a private beach next to a Native American cemetery. Strange times indeed. Just heard a scholarly someone opine on the subject. Basically that with humans, doing dirty deeds is easier if the Gov...

Re: Joining NATO

Being a hobby historian of the events, I take into account the chronology of events happening and factor in human nature.

Re: Joining NATO

My wife's cousin was in the SS and lost on the Eastern Front so I've done a bit of research as WWII is my hobby. IMO, the media blew the real story with that Uke Nazi soldier. No one wanted to be "liberated" by Russian troops who they were historically at war with. And if the spit hits the fan, peop...

Re: Fake cougar attack

People are funny. What was that guy thinking. We have them going around and through the neighborhood all the time but they are ghosts. A dog got taken off the back porch 10 years ago. Then a cougar killed a bicycle rider 10 miles north of me about 5 years ago. Last month a pair of cougars cut up a b...

Re: Leather care for Alico, Asolo, etc. telemark boots

I've got some 50 yeaar old Merrells that have held up well with 50 years of treating with Sno Seal. I smear it on and use a hair dryer to warm it in. Asolo recommends a water-proofing impregnation spray these days.
