Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father
This is investigative journalism at its finest. So full of Presidential lies…
Don’t want to make this too political but, you know, I save the best for Sundays!
Indian Railways
A phenomenal piece on all things about the Indian Railways!
151,000 km of laid track, 1 billion people, and an infinite source of memories
Many exhibits, virtual tours, stunning photography! You can click on this page for hours…Wonderfully well made, I am speechless. Enjoy!
The Ghosts of the Glacier
Another wonderful and personal story of a lady whose parents vanished in the Alps during a storm and then 75 years later the bodies are found…
What happens when climate changes quickly in a previously frozen place, when the earth heats up and the mountains melt? In the high Swiss Alps, here’s what happens: The ice gives up the bodies—and the secrets—of the past.
This may make you emotional, you have been warned!
The NBA Meme Bracket
Well, you will love this if you are an NBA fan. And you are into memes. This is hilarious stuff!
Warning: You will laugh. If not, I am not going to ask what is wrong with you!
Google and Facebook Didn’t End Data Privacy
I agree with most of this article by the way…
Google and Facebook are easy scapegoats, but companies have been collecting, selling, and reusing your personal data for decades, and now that the public has finally noticed, it’s too late. The personal-data privacy war is long over, and you lost.
It’s a shorthand comfort to blame Google for this state of affairs. It puts a face on the scourge, and it targets an enemy that feels worthy. But the opponent in the data-privacy invasion is not a comic-book enemy of fixed form, one that can be cornered, compromised, and defeated. Instead it’s a hazy murk, a chilling, Lovecraftian murmur that can’t be seen, let alone touched, let alone vanquished. Even “the Cloud” isn’t the right metaphor, because pumping out its gaseous poison only draws in a new, cold draft of it from sources unseen. If not websites, pharmaceuticals. If not location data, household goods. If not likes or shares, bank balances and neighborhood demographics. Your data is everywhere, and nowhere, and you cannot escape it, or what it might yet do to you.
And I leave you with these…

Thanks for the Indian link!
Good morning.
Bronze from the SeaTac airport, where I do not recommend trying to sleep. Especially in the D Gates. Even if you have a 5 hour layover at 2 am. Woof.
Do we have to let partisan politics infiltrate even our beloved travel blogs. Please, we have all pretty much had enough.
Is tax evasion partisan?
After shaving 9.59 mins off my 12 mile run PR time…off to my neighbor’s funeral.
Not even one cc conversion has come through this month…Waiting for the ax…
I think I will work on epitaph post on the 6th year blog anniversary, sad!
Georgios…. good thing you are not trying to get elected. All those Scandinavian and German broads from those summers on the beach at Larissa would be showing up with their now adult kids with bushy eyebrows at the hearings. Those were the good old days.
And this is why I will not run for a public office lol.
@ Kevin: First first? Not sure it counts…it is Sunday, everyone sleeps in!
@ TR: I save the best for Sundays. I thought that piece of journalism deserved to be here.
@ Dml: I spent more time on that Indian railways link, it is EPIC imho.
@ spamman808: If you only had a nifty Chase card with my links you could stay at an airport hotel for freeee 🙂
@ Brenton. It is not. Partisan that is. As for tax evasion, HELL YES!
Back from my neighbors’ funeral. Amazing service, there were no empty seats at the church, WOW! So sad…severe lung and brain cancer at the same time, way too late detection, within 2 to 3 weeks he was gone. The nicest guy. And mega jokster. When the doct told him the grim news he told him “You are fired”. The whole neighborhood showed up. So sad..
Live life fully you guys!
And please please don’t sell breast pumps like Emily!!!!
There’s a storm a brewin’ over at MMS on Emily’s breast pumps. The only comment so far said the Spectra S9, which Emily adored, was far inferior to the Baby Buddha. Baby Buddy-Close your eyes and imagine what that might be.
Buzz- I haven’t read MMS since the mother-in-law rule days, but I’ll keep any eye on this and let you know if anything pops out at me.
Lol.
Thanks for the laugh Sam this Monday early morning
