Is this the international airport version of the DMZ Bar & Grill, or can we throw bottles and insulting generalizations like we can at the Ad Hominem Saloon?

I have just got in after cycling sixteen kilometres and shooting a pistol match.

This morning the temperature in Vegas was 46F.  It's going to get up to 71F.  All in all, a pleasant day...

I'm curious, Karma, how "high tea" constitutes an ethnic slur, unless by the usage of High Tea, you resent the implication of a British tradition being practiced by an Australian? I checked a few references to see if High Tea is considered a pejorative term and other than "teasipper" ( referencing British people) I couldn't find anything related to "high tea"....

Oh, I didn't know until I reviewed this page that depending upon how you use it, the term "Brit" or "English" can be considered a slur!

Tribalism, ethnocentricism, racism, nationalism, and FEAR is the Mind Killer... >:(

Nossir.  Earl Grey, hot,  with a quarter slice of lemon squeezed in, and two teaspoons of honey.  No scones for me, thank you.

This morning Vegas was in the low forties.  High was 68F.  Tomorrow, it's supposed to be chilly and rainy.  Can do without the chill, but we need the rain...

Yesterday I ate scones with jam and cream. The top was a mere 19 ℃.

I was in Madrid for a week, and could rejoice in the life of a huge city there. It feels like home, regardless where I make this experience. I am a child of Metropolis, it seems.

Is it the anonymity? The wide streets? The museums, theatres and parks?



Huge cities require people to get along with each other, much more so than rural areas do, and small cities may be the other extreme: not big enough to prime ignition of the urban feeling, yet too big for allowing people to traditionally rely on each other.

In the Prado, there was an exhibition of Greek sculptures from the Dresden collection, and a whole lot of Dutch & Belgian paintings, from the time when these two nations were part of the Spanish Habsburg Empire. It felt like visiting relatives.

I like visiting large cities to take advantage of the cultural opportunities but maryclare and I prefer living in a rural area. It would be difficult to keep our horses in an apartment :-).

And we've never been to Spain, Chari, but my wife and I regularly wander about France, Germany, Austria and Italy... and the UK.

And... we tend to prefer spring or autmn for our European sojurns.

Heya, a new environment,
and tools we still need to get used to.


But then, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
