It appears that the evil genius is safe and in fine fettle.

(We're still keeping a sharp eye and on the lookout for any Iranians that may attempt to make an incursion via the creek.)

Tanto is in his best UC getup, ready to take on any interlopers.

I honestly think the Iranian people are some of the most impressive people not just in the Middle East but on earth. What a culture, the Persians. I don't want to get into politics here, but I will say that it absolutely makes no sense to me that the Iranians are our enemy and the Saudi are our friends. Make that make sense.

I mean, I 100% understand how it happened. But it doesn't make sense.
 
Perhaps the answer, to world peace, and peace in the Middle East specifically, closely parallels the answer to the political situation in our country today. They both involve an asteroid hitting a specific area and initiating a hard reset.
 
I completely agree, Nate. I grew up with, and worked alongside some awesome Iranian folks some years back...both in NYC and Miami.

Years ago, on a job shortly after college, I handled air freight accounts to and from. The Iranians I encountered both stateside, and from overseas, were very well educated, tech savvy and very professional. Of course, that's only a small sampling.

(My attempt at humor above had no political attachment, it's just that they happen to be the Boogeymen of the week.)

Moving right along...
 
Apropos of nothing...in the past several years, my wife and I enjoyed a couple of really good Iranian films that were very moving. (I was actually somewhat surprised that they were released given what we are led to expect.) They were about family life, raising children, and dealing with very real political and cultural issues there. I rarely see anything so well done being produced here.

And that's all I got on that subject.

Sometimes I'll keep track of the number of beers that I drink at night on the dial on my watch. According to my watch I had three beers last night. But my head says something different. Good Lord

I generally only have one nightly with dinner these days. I can't handle my old ways comfortably anymore.
