When we lived in Orlando and North Lauderdale in the late 60s early 70s ( before the mouse attacked ) it was like that.   

I don't want to see it today. Will be developments, condos, malls, concrete. Will just piss me off.

Once in a while I've come across a forest that looks like that, typically with coniferous trees (pines etc). The space underneath is cool and shady, and there's often a blanket of shedded needles on the ground ... 

Now that we are close to entering the holiday season:   Once again, forced, militant Syncretism is wrong.

And along those same lines above  ( but different ) State approved marriage is wrong. Here in the US it even violates my rights protected by the first amendment.   It should be abolished.  It should instead be treated just like an LLC: 2 or more adults entering a contract for shared liability, and the word 'marriage' removed totally.

( and enough rant for one week. )

And i really hate when im a moron and post in the wrong room.  ( feel free to move the 2 above to rants and this to the trash..  grumble )

Well your bogus interpretation of the first amendment definitely belongs in the trash.

With the current state, Stalin and Hitler would be proud. 

its almost 2025. Where did it go. It was just 1985... and i blinked.

As I always say ... do not be surprised by the passage of time; it is literally the single most predictable thing in the universe.

Also, I agree with you about the marriage thing.  Get the government out of my bedroom!

There is a special place in Hell for men who knock on locked restroom doors.

I had a friend once, back in college.  He thought everything was about him.   It really wasn't. He was just self-obsessed and inserted himself into everything. 

One reason we jettisoned from our group after a while.

I hope he learned his lesson at some point along his life, that everything did not revolve around him. I hear thru the grapevine that he's no longer around. ( remember, we are old now... )

So raising the minimum wage to absurd levels, aside from increasing the cost of all goods and pushing inflation up, is now forcing many to seriously consider automating many of their processes, or have committed to doing so.

I wonder how long it is before those states start taxing the robots..
