Good mornin’, Miss Wee! Looks like the kooks from the Left Coast have now taken up this mantle as well. Their SOS has proposed the same. I’m only surprised that they weren’t first. Coffee’s brewing and it seems like we’re gonna need some stiff stuff for a few days.

STRASBOURG – THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS CITY IN THE WHOLE WORLD

Did I write the title STRASBOURG – THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS CITY IN THE WHOLE WORLD enough times? Now it’s three times…isn’t there a saying, “Third time’s a charm”? Whatever that means.
This is the commentary from grammarist.com: “The idiom ‘third time’s the charm’ has its roots in the ancient belief that the number three is magical, but the phrase was first used in the early 1800s. A companion phrase is ‘third time lucky’, generally considered a British term.”
On the other hand, “Three on a match” is really bad luck. So there’s that.

I just watched a video 3-part series on YouTube by Kara and Nate, in which they visited the Christmas markets in nine European countries. Strasbourg was one of their favs. Here is part one:

Thanks, Stella. Looking forward to more Christmas market vids. The thing that surprised me about this episode was the near-chaotic train situation. I’ve always thought the trains running on time and sticking to a daily schedule no matter what was a point of pride for the Europeans. Apparently not…LOL!

And it’s a world record that she was ineffectively stupid in each place. What an embarrassment for the United States besides a tragedy.
You’d think she would get better speech writers. She likely believes she’s so smart that it’s just her audiences that are dumb for not recognizing her greatness. SMH!

Good afternoon, Czarina! Thanks for shining your flashlight on Maine Day, Yule Day, Winter Solstice, French fried shrimp and Anne Frank.
As for Samantha Smith…had to look her up as I’d never heard of her before. I hesitate to express criticism since she died in a plane crash at age 13, but she reminds me of the media-puffed-up Greta Thunberg.

Remember how DJT has told us that the government is after us and he’s just in the way…….Here’s more proof that he’s right. R Congressman required to turn over 1600 texts and emails to FBI re: ’20 election. As long as this crew is in place, they won’t stop. They’re just turning the temperature up.

They ain’t going away, no matter what. Like Hamas, they have tunnels and hideouts, and ammunition, and human shields. And to leave no doubts, although I think I’ve been pretty clear, they are terrorists.

Afternoon All. Almost 40* with a really ugly gray sky here. It is very damp out and the sidewalks are all wet. Oh, and it is foggy.
I have one more thing to get for one of my granddaughters and then I will be through. That and washing dishes which I ignored yesterday are my main jobs today. And, a nap. I am going to fit in a nap somewhere for sure.
So, I had better get busy. Hope you all have a nice day.

Money-laundering, anyone? Would it be cheaper to give everyone 40 acres and a mule like was promised after the Civil War?
If Democrats are bound and determined to give away money to gain votes, shouldn’t the “reparation” be based on how much black African blood each person has? Give everyone a DNA test. I mean, fair is fair…some folks have “suffered” more than others.
Another thing, do they have to be registered Democrats or are they going to give money to conservatives and Republicans, too?
