Hi from Larisa, Greece! Things are moving way too slow here…it’s like a different planet. This blog goes on…no idea for how long.
I am renting a Hertz car right now for five weeks and then this: Hertz Massively Devalues Gold Plus Rewards Points Without Notice. Seriously?
Did you have a nice 5/24 day? It’s 5/24 Day; What’s Your Chase 5/24 Strategy? My strategy is to stay alive and siphon off some credit card conversions from Titans before they take them away from me and then this blog goes down because Amazon does not bring in more than a few dollars per day, sad lol.
Few miles and point “news” I am not going to link to. Lufthansa is also going dynamic award pricing and you know something is here to stay when View From The Wing does not even bitch about it anymore lol. Do not buy Intercontinental Ambassador status, I certainly won’t. Hey, we are all different.
Interesting: 30 Ghost Towns Around The World. The most eerie one must be Famagusta in Cyprus.
I love ramen so I bookmarked this! This Is the Top-Rated Ramen in Your State. If you visited the Michigan winner can you tell me if it was worth it?
Every year they celebrate Easter in this Greek island with rockets. And almost every year someone loses a body part or worse. Incredible Footage of the Great Annual Easter Fireworks Battle on the Greek Island of Chios. And yes, it is incredible.
The world’s most fragile states in 2019. No surprise that Yemen tops the list. Less fragile state? Finland.
Amazing! Ferret shows human her babies.
This is a cool calculator: Stock Total Return Calculator: How Much Would You Have Today? My motto is to never look back, what’s the point. But if you want to waste some time dreaming about you buying some stock you did not and if you had held it…
After seeing this photo from Everest I lost all interest in ever climbing it, WTF!
US is #1 of course. But those darn Chinese are coming up fast so lets have a trade war with them to stop them, smh. The Richest Countries in the World.
Not going to cut and paste the entering Blog Buzz two sentences, need to cut the time I spend here for peanuts…
Probably gone by now? Roundup Of Dates With Rare Air New Zealand Business Class Saver Award Space Nonstop Between North America And Auckland.
When The Points Guy has a post “The Best Credit Cards for Buying Points and Miles” you should probably know that you are being sold 24/7, 365! And I still have haters bitching at me for pumping my links…it is hilarious! What is not hilarious thought that this is most likely the fourth month in a row that my blog does not even get ten conversions per month…so my days are numbered, so sad!
I do my own thing. I still do not see myself as a blogger. I don’t have anything in common with most bloggers that have made miles and points a career. To me it is still a hobby. And a fast imploding hobby at that. Of course you won’t read about the implosion from any bloggers…because…you know….self-interest and stuff like that.
Sometimes I wonder why do I still have this blog for six and a half years? It’s because of a few dedicated readers like you…hate quitting and leaving you guys to read the Titanic crap and so many boring blog posts pounding the same things over and over….yawn.
I voted in Greek elections for the first time yesterday. It was…weird. Forty political parties running, all paper based, so much wasted paper. Dirty polling places, rude civil servants, same old Greece. Voted for a second cousin with my last name 🙂 And I took my mother to vote…in my elementary school
And I leave you with this! Yeah, me too!

How can you vote in Greece? Does Vladimir know about this?
Good morning! The cats look the morning off.
The climb Everest industry is really interesting. That photo is something.
What’s GoT?
I have voted in a couple Italian elections now (By Mail from the USA) since I got my citizenship. The ballots are completely insane and confusing. I suspect similar to what you dealt with there. Good to vote though, ALWAYS.
Hope all is going OK with your Mom, George! I keep trying to make sure my Amazon spend is through your lin, but I know it takes a lot of folks using it to be worthwhile. Still, I do what I can. No more CCs for a while for me though. Chase still has charms I wish to try but I am HAHAHA over 24, so need t cool it for a while.
Whererever this Blog (?) goes, hope you keep writing about something online. You have a good writing “voice”!
Paisan!
For verifiability, I hope the US returns to paper ballots. Can’t hack paper ballots that are publicly counted.
Btw, do I get partial credit for watching a couple GoT when it first came out, wasn’t interested, and haven’t watched since.
You do not agree with trying to level the playing field with China? WTF, you cannot be that blind on how one sided trade with them is. Any company that wants to sell in China has do do it with a Chinese Gov’t approved partner. Then that gets them access to intellectual properties of said company which they then steal. George I cannot believe your hate for Trump clouds the fact that you cannot admit the Chinese are ass raping us in the business world…….Let us not forget all the China State sanctioned cyber terrorism against out Country. You will love what they will do in the next US election, I guess……You are so blinded by Trump hate it amazes me. Stop watching CNN and CNBC! Read the WSJ and Reuters for unbiased business news. Kiss Mom for me.
Dude, TBB has written over 100 articles for Wall Street Journal.
WTF is wrong with you Trump fans, JESUS!
I hate Trump with a passion, but even I strongly support his stance against China. Short-term pain, but for huge potential long-term benefits. This assumes Trump has an actual strategy, of course, which is questionable at best.
The strategy comes with worldwide economic stagnation.1-2% reduction of GDP growth for Q2. China’s GDP will be unaltered. China initiated a stimulus package end of last year.
Damn, if I’m going to go to all the trouble, training, and expense of climbing a huge mountain – I sure as hell don’t want to do it with a crowd of people all around like that! Part of the allure of a mountain climbing would be the relative solitude. That’s insane.
