"If you’re a fan of drinking your coffee black, prefer the taste of dark chocolate to milk chocolate and have an affinity for gin and tonics, you may, in fact, be a psychopath. Okay, maybe you’re not a full on sadist, but you might have some questionably psychopathic tendencies.

New research from the Innsbruck University in Austria has found a troubling correlation between a fondness for bitter tastes and antisocial personality traits. Those who enjoyed bitter tastes were more likely to exhibit behavior that could be categorized as psychopathic, Machiavellian, sadistic and narcissistic — yikes"

You're lucky you're not my kid I'd throw you out to get some fresh air!

but, isnt most of the route 66 closed already?

There are sections of it that are no longer there but people have mapped out how you can make the most of historic 66. And there's always the new 66.

 

[French Quarter]

but I am not

I would have to sleep in the front and you in the back lol!

No problem. I sleep like a rock.

Well, you're mentioning normal shows. I was thinking we were only talking about "animated" shows.

meh for example.. I'm enjoying DARK MATTER (new scifi series which just finished its first season). good change since the terribly disappointing of FALLING SKIES. Cant believe how much they ruined that show.
The Last Ship, Grimm and Being Human are good for those who like the not usual comedy or action dramas.

Oh sorry. Didn't mean to hijack the conversation.

 

[French Quarter]

interestingly.. they are getting x files backup with the original cast.

Yes. I never got into it the first time round and am still undecided if I will check it out now or not.

@French Quarter I forget where your post is but I am from Rhode Island...not an island and not part of Long Island. Though I do work on the island which RI got the name from.

Ah yes. I love RI. We have friends there and only about 10 hours or so from us. Beautiful place.

Good morning Chit Chatters! Today I get to go into work late at 11 but it is parent teacher conferences so I have to stay until 7. It is going to be a long day. At least it is a nice sunny 55 degree morning to start the day with coffee on the porch with the dog.

Ha! I burst out laughing over this one!!! Oh I wish I was there to "help" you out!! My response would have been, "No, they take a cab to Kentucky, and do their business there."

do they wear ties and suits for their "business" ?

Happy Leif Erikson Day
Happy Canadian Turkey Day

Some people are calling it Indigenous Peoples Day. That's stupid. Apparently Native American Day is too un-politically correct for them.

the question.. is who are calling it too "unpolitically correct" ?
Social warriors? or the natives?
I know sometimes the social warriors exaggerate and nothing makes them happy.

the new 66? wait.. what?

 

[Cesar R M]

No problem. I sleep like a rock.

like THE ROCK?

 

[French Quarter]

the new 66? wait.. what?

There are roads, mostly interstates, that parallel the historic Route 66. So, in places where the historic trail is missing, you can jump on to one of those. People have mapped this out and offer a new route to follow so you can travel on Route 66 as much as possible and jump off and on when you need to.

like THE ROCK?

Sorry...I meant I sleep with the rock.

Social warriors. Everything has to be PC with them or else.

You still live in a huge country.I can drive around my island in less than an hour and thats with a speed limit of 35mph.kinda freaked us out the first time we got directions in Florida and down the road turned out to be a 20 minute drive.

HA! Yeah, where I come from (originally) we measure distances in time, not miles. Distances are so great there that even to go to the next town over takes 45 minutes. We call it rush hour if there's more than one car on the road. There are more Antelope on the road than cars. There are more cattle than people. So this feels really tiny here. But I looked it up, and you're right...your country is much smaller!

Well, each weekend morning before I go out, I also have a small container of plain yogurt, so it's not like I'm only eating 1/2 donut. If I didn't have something else with 1/2 donut each morning, I'd be hungry and reach for something else--which would defeat the purpose.

Do you add anything to the yogurt? I can't eat it plain. I eat blueberries and oats in mine, with a bit of sugar...otherwise I can't choke it down, and that's what I eat every morning.

Good night and sweet dreams Mr. Mr. Whimp.

Nice pictures. Curious, around what time of day was it that the resort pool was closed?
