scheng1 i sure avoid going to Thailand during this time. The hotel is expensive, and the weather is at the hottest of the year. Plus the risk of getting drenched over and over, and you cannot get angry when you are drenched!

Siduri @pauliek Clinton. I don't recall what the population was then, and haven't been able to find it online during my one desultory stab at it, but presently it's less than 900. My stepfather taught at Shopiere.

scheng1 @pauliek You can ask your sister if the Fed optimism of the economy is reflected in her place. Most likely it is not. When we read the discussion in Mylot, we can also see that the economy is not as the Fed want us to believe.

Siduri The snow should be gone by then. Poor Wisconsin has been getting hit pretty hard this year. It's also my home state. Relax, maybe get some fishing in. Hope the trip is a pleasant one for you.

scheng1 haha, you may find that half the folks there wear "Make America Great Again" T-shirts or whatever else. It sure is a great slogan, and sadly it is true. The economy of US is not that great despite the upbeat news about the employment rate, and job creation.

kataomoi I tried lovemocha a long time ago but it didn't work out for me. I eventually had to take a class to learn the language. I think the concept is great and I'm sure it works for some people, but it didn't work for me.

A new version of Mark Twain's classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is being published that has changed the original words--"N-Word" and "Injun"--to less racially offensive words. How do you react to that development?

ErrollLeVant I am with you on the political correctness issue--it has gone overboard. I think there can be lessons learned from reading the book as it was written that cannot be gained if it is "purified."

megamatt I really hate the politically correct turn society, the world in general has turned. It is so stupid. I think that it really spits on the spirit that the book was written in at the time. You take this step, but where you draw the line? Do you rewrite history...
