The owner of the house on my west side (2,400 ft., 4/2.5) would love an offer!
Coast Guarding in central New Mexico would be even weirder than Coast Guarding in Brunei.
I was in school when Jonestown went down... we had a koolaid and grain alcohol party that almost got us expelled for "bad taste".
LOL!
Let me talk to Dad.
Only in Al Gore’s wildest dreams will I get waterfront property at my place... 7500’ above seal level.
Compared to Indonesia, Malaysia was completely safe. In Indonesia you couldn’t walk on the street if you were American. In Malaysia if you got drunk enough, a condescending local would point you back to the ship.
There’s a reason the last patrol is referred to as ‘2010 World Mall Tour.’ Or, alternately, ‘Summer 2010 Bar-hop Patrol.’
LOL! You’re not supposed to be in bars. 19-year-olds could legally drink when I was 19 - lo, those many years ago.
Prices are down, interest rates are unbelievably low.
I don’t go in bars here. I drink in the woods. Washington has too many rules, so I probably couldn’t even go into a bar and eat dinner, much less get drunk, talk politics, and drink little cups of coffee with too much sugar in them.
All by yourself, or with bears? Don't be a statistic!
Are you near Willamette State? Some friends of ours from San Antonio turned up there.
Or smoke. I got told by a police officer that I couldn’t smoke in downtown Bellingham because I was within 50 feet of a building. In Asia all the bars are open air. At the Terror club you couldn’t smoke in the dining room, but they had an excellent porch with a view of the pool and the tropical decor.
Oy. We had an “Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon” party that got a little out of hand. Some of the Vietnamese students turned out to be commies.
I think I would like the Terror Club. Great pool!
I’m against excessive anti-smoking rules.
There were slot machines, too. I won 20 bucks in quarters.
That’ll buy you a lot of Diet Cokes.
Bedtime here - have a good evening and don’t run afoul of the law. What’s your estimated departure for the frozen north, so I can order your thermal undies? And FReepmail me an address and your measurements, and USMail your birth certificate so you can sell that stock next year.
A few years ago I think someone posted an article here at FR explaining certain differences between Indonesia and Malaysia, and in particular economic ones, on the basis of Indonesia’s having adopted a Civil Law system through the Dutch while the Malaysians, thanks to the British, went with the Common Law.
It sounds like a “Spengler” article.
I think Indonesia is more heavily Moslem, too. Never been, myself, but Seaman Anoreth has recent experience of both.
I don’t know. There was alot of graffitti, though. Most of it was anti-American. The rest was against British colonialism, for some reason.
And thankfully lived to tell about it! Yes, articles posted at FR back in the day came from all manner of sources.
