i think immigration is a mixed bag and still may come out as a positive once all the 45 holdouts in ICE and Homeland are shown the door. Much of the issues that we have ongoing in that arena are the continuation of shitty policy from shitty people until they can be replaced by someone who is compassionate and invested in allowing a path for people to seek the opportunity that the US offers.

I am still parsing out the Lewandowski affair.
But I my first take is to agree with Teddy’s Person. That people are apparently not as important to the GQP as money.
I suspect that the ladies here are more familiar with this kind of assholery, but how the Ms Odom was treated by both Lewandowski and by everybody else (in not immediately ejecting Lewandowski) seems to make quite a regressive statement on gender.
I also wonder what the donor will conclude his $100k bought him in the GQP.

A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money. You think renovating a house is expensive, hah!
Friends live on a boat, a hundred-year-old steel-hulled Dutch tjalk parked on a canal in West London. Every two years they have to get it hauled out and the hull stripped back and coated with approved non-biotoxic non-fouling paint, all 90 square metres of it. The engine gearbox rebuild a decade ago cost them the thick end of five thousand bucks. They got a replacement “original” mast for a mere eight hundred Euros but with a thousand Euros shipping charge. The kitchen still isn’t complete thirty years after they bought it, the toilet is… let’s not go there, shall we?
Getting this rear-wheel paddlesteamer river-worthy will cost “only” another 900,000 bucks, they say. Keeping her in good condition will cost a lot more over the following years and decades, endless expense.

Drunk missing man joins his own search party
There’s drunk, and then there’s this guy.
Search and rescue teams in Turkey were looking in the Bursa region for a man who was reported missing.
…snip…
According to Turkish news channel NTV, once people started calling out Mutlu’s name, he came forward and asked, “Who are we looking for? I’m here.”It is unclear how the 50-year-old came across his own search party, how his friends were unaware their pal was in their midst, or just how wasted Mutlu was, but it’s a happy ending regardless.

Want To Own A Piece Of Illinois River History? The Julia Belle Swain Is Up For Sale
nprillinois.org[Embedded content]
Several years ago the Julia Belle Swain made it down the Mississippi, across the inland waterway to the Apalachicola, and passed near here, getting as far up the Chattahooche as Columbia AL or even Columbus GA. That used to be a routine trip for the old boats in the cotton trade. We went to watch her, picnicing on the Rt 84 crossing into Georgia.

I was fortunate to learn from the costly experience of others. I’m fascinated with ships, boats, and their history but I have never seriously considered having one of my own. I own a plane and a Rolls-Royce (usually drive a Toyota though), but I do not own a boat. This is quite aside from the lack of a worthwhile place to put one around here. The big artificial lakes like Lake Granbury seem to exert a magnetic attraction on the yokel gentry though. The shores of these giant mudholes are lined with mcmansions even uglier than the norm, and festooned with docks for miniature super-yachts like the ones that featured in the farcical Battle of Lake Travis last year.

No matter where you move it, a market collapse will affect it. How bad the fallout will be depends on how the funds are invested.
Go for safe as opposed to speculative. Returns on safe investments will stay steadier. Speculative, though there is the prospect of phenomenal returns, can disappear in a flash.

My uncle was a Pgh fireman, fought the fire on the Island Queen (an actual side-wheeler). I was only about 3, don’t know if it had a calliope.
As a child, I lived in Quincy, Il for three years. Quincy is on the Mississippi and not far from Hannibal, MO. We sometimes picnicked by the river, but my dad was far more interested in seeing the locks in operation than seeing the riverboat. We did organize a family reunion there once so that we could celebrate my grandmother’s brother’s 100th birthday on a riverboat and allow him to pull the cord on the horn (not a calliope).

My great great uncle was an artist, and he considered the Delta Queen his home away from home. His painting of the Queen used to hang in her main reception room.
As I recall, there was at least one incident (and maybe more) of overloaded steamships carrying Union soldiers north on the Mississippi floundering under the weight and resulting in hundreds of deaths. (sorry for the mixed verbs, too lazy to fix.)
