In reply to TravelBloggerBuzz. Just gave them a try a little while ago for an upcoming rental, they got me a good deal with minimal effort on my part.

In reply to Ryan.

Agreed on GlobalGaz.

We are in the same boat on KrisfFlyer. The 3 year clock always bothered me. It still does. But I think I can burn on United to Europe or maybe Hawaii.

NK is mega cluster phuck. I remember reading an account of a journalist interviewing a NK diplomat who was just informed of the previous dude’s death. He excused himself. And was absent for an hour and came back REALLY phucked up with grief. What a system these guys have managed to keep going for generations, it just boggles the mind. We are in 2017 and they are still in power. Unbelievable.

I have said it many times here. Trump is a dangerous buffoon surrounded by mostly idiot sycophants. And yet, stock markets keep hitting new highs. Almost every day. It’s just nuts. And make no mistake, this President is clinically insane. I called that years ago. I call them as I see them.

off to gym…

blog post scheduled for tomorrow. It involves doctorates, Tiananmen, VERY sick children, new words for your vocabulary, a bonus pic from my Iran trip and one of the BEST gifs…ever in the history of TBB!

In reply to Brenton.

Fractional ownership will require paperwork, got not time for dat!

So, it is royalties…

When I sell my site, I will not request a lump sum. Instead I will demand royalties so I can repay you 😉

GlobalGaz is pretty cool!

I need to check out that link on Krisflyer – never used any but I have plenty of transferable points I could move there if anything is a good use for me.

North Korea is really interesting for so many reasons. I really wonder sometimes how much longer they can maintain. There are some videos on Youtube purporting to be NK documentaries about life in the USA shown to locals. They show people eating snow because we’re too poor and blue tarps covering frozen bodies strewn about the sidewalk.

For some reason this reminded me that I saw that the new administration is “reviewing” various Cuba policies including travel…I don’t like the sound of that. Never a fan of travel restrictions.
