Not today but yesterday: My brother arrived for xmas.

Don't know how he's going to get back across the border though. I mean, he won't get negative results back within 72 hours I reckon, and he'll have to spend hours waiting in line to get tested :zombiefuck:.

As some of you know, I am notoriously hard to buy for on birthdays and xmas.  I'm not a very materialistic guy wanting the latest, the biggest and the super duperiest (yes, I made that word up) stuff.  For the most part, I have everything I need and appreciate everything I have.  So this year I surprised Carla by saying I wanted a really good powerful telescope.  For stargazing and wildlife/scenery spotting.  I have always had a fascination for optical gear.  I have a zoom binoculars which I love.  Unfortunately, when I use them, my hand gets quivery.  So, long story short, Carla got me a 30-90X spotting scope and tripod.  I love it.  Can't wait for clear nights or seeing birds and other wildlife super close.  The fun part was trying to follow the directions to put telescope on tripod.  The printed directions were vague to say the least.  Fortunately, Carlas OCD kicked in and she went online for the solution.  Today is crappy weather, but, with some experimentation I can see trees and a rock wall about a hundred yards away like I am almost next to them.  Looking forward to a clear night!   :book: :headbang:

Had a really good Christmas, too, apart from the headache that is now in full bloom.

An elderly couple were killed in an accident and found themselves being given a tour of heaven by Saint Peter. "Here is your oceanside condo, over there are the tennis courts, swimming pool, and two golf courses. If you need any refreshments, just stop by any of the many bars located throughout the area."

"Heck, Gloria," the old man hissed when Saint Peter walked off, "we could have been here ten years ago if you hadn't heard about all that stupid oat bran, wheat germ, and low-fat diets!"

Sister came for a visit, though I couldn't think of what to say in conversation when all of us were at the table.

A businessman boarded a flight and was lucky enough to be seated next to an absolutely gorgeous woman...... They exchange brief hellos and he noticed she is reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her about it and she replied, "This is a very interesting book about sexual statistics. It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Polish men have the biggest average diameter. By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?" "Tonto Kawalski, nice to meet you."
