Got my glasses and my computer monitor overlay's just now. Things when reading are just calmer. Truly amazing. Looking outside, although my lenses are tinted, the colors on the trees just pop.
The Bills did win for the first time in almost a month...😉

One of the things I've noticed over many visits to various places there on business is how poorly the airport at Kingston is set up to withstand high waves. The Intl. airport is south of the land mass, and there is a lengthy causeway you must drive over to get there.
When I was travelling there, there was no effective breakwater to protect this long roadway, and I remember thinking that if they ever had a close hit from a hurricane there would be no way to protect the airport or use it for relief efforts.
We'll see.
How often does a storm like this happen? Once every 100 year storm?
I am sure they really care to overbuild something in Jamaica... Especially with an industry that's just over a 100 years old on a major what if. Yeah, just throw cash around in Jamaica on something that's never happened.😆
I guess if it gets destroyed now, build it a little better next time.
Sorry for the cynicism.😉

The mafia paid the helicopter to fly in that direction causing a drift of the ball
You didn't see the back judge reach into his pocket to almost throw the flag, when it went "wide right"... Ah, nevermind!😆

She directed the video to Belinda Carlisle's #1 1987 hit:

How about farting "silent, but deadly" while say shopping, then boogieing out of there before your sig other realizes that you laid toxic waste... Does that count?
Then watching the carnage 2 aisles over, while others give her a disgusting look thinking she dropped that hideous bomb!

My now wife moved in with me 3 months after we met. We hadnt crossed that bridge yet. I outkicked my coverage big time and didnt want to gross her out.
Long story short my ass went rouge one night and I literally jump scared myself awake. Must have impressed her because four months later we were engaged. 14 years and 4 kids later she still doesnt in front of me if she can help it.
Side note is there any better car ride than leaving a first date and finally getting a little relief?
WOW! Impressive! You involuntary fart while sleeping. Fart dreaming!
That's downright nasty! In a good way?😉

I heard at that Van Morrison concert that the last time he played that amphitheater he wanted to ban alcohol sales. Apparently he has an alcohol problem, but the venue exists to make money. Are you going to slash your fee, Van, to stand for your principles? No alcohol, no hits, what a great concept! (Not.)
I do understand, though. We’ve known musicians who tour the globe, and we’ve had conversations about how monotonous it is to do the same hits over and over, night after night, city after city. BUT, that is what people are paying to see. They follow the money and keep people happy.
Guys like Morrison don't give a schnitzel, they probably would rather have you NOT attend. They aren't doing it for the money.
From AI:
"Van Morrison has expressed that fame is largely a burden, describing it as a "pain in the ass" that intrudes on his privacy and personal life. He prefers to focus on his music rather than the superficial aspects of celebrity culture."
I don't agree with him on certain issues... BUT he's right on when it comes to status & money... He ain't doing the show for you.

No, I was not warned. If ANY of that had been known BEFORE the event, it would have been different. It would have happened without me.
Yeah... In all fairness Morrison & Dylan are known for this throughout their career. I really say I can't blame them.
Stick to Coldplay.😜

We sat in the nosebleeds to see the Eagles and Chris Stapleton not too long ago. They will have to PAY ME more than $300 to get me to do it again in a giant arena. On the flip side, we saw Jonathan Taylor (James’ brother) in a tiny little venue a couple tables from the stage and it was awesome! And for a fraction of the price. Great time.
Side note: We saw Van Morrison on his “everything but the hits tour”. He played for a couple hours without ever playing anything familiar. That was impressive, but not in a good way. I felt ripped off after that one.
Ah... Gee... You were warned, no?
"Everything But The Hits"
How can you feel ripped off when he was basically telling you you're gonna be ripped off... LoL... /smdh
I like Van Morrison even more now for his blunt honestly... He's always got a bad rap as being an overly pretentious douchebag & his politics aren't my cup of tea... BUT I can respect his music & brutally blunt commentary on commercialism... "Down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn", etc... lol
Hope he played:
"Down through the weeks of ages"
"In the moss borne dark dank pools"
"Rave on, down through the industrial revolution...""...Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass Rave on, fill the senses On nature's bright green shady path..."
See, I just got you return value on your hard dolla that purchase that ticket. Now you don't have to holla... Sounds like a great show for the value.

You’re old.
I kid, of course.
Mostly.
We’ve noticed in recent years how differently people can perceive value. Even people we have been friends with for decades just see things differently. That’s fine. We finally drew a line and said we may not see ALL the shows, but we will not be seeing them from cheap seats, watching a giant monitor in the back of the upper deck. Good seats for fewer shows is our preference.
Oh, I prefer watching Bills games at home. There, I said it!
You @ the ballpark?🤣
