Wow, that was fast! Good call VinT on suggesting the other thread, to save this one!

What kind of candy are you giving away for Halloween?

We haven't had a trick-or-treater at our house in about a decade, so I'm not up on what the best kinds of candies are anymore.

I'll bring over a nice burg stem for you to fill up with great wine. Forget the candy

Any post by TGB.

And you'll allow as I expect that he was right to so object. And I am right and you are right and everything is quite correct.

Must have had the blended wine I suggested.

Robert, how many times do you allow someone back in after continually thrashing your place.

I remember the water pitcher but don't remember the two wine glasses.

They slipped from your grasp as you fell asleep.

true story!

I am just going to keep a stash of water pitchers and wine glasses at g-man's.

I hate arbitrary demarcations. Instead of the postal code, voting region etc. going down the main street in the area (which physically and really is the change between two neighborhoods) it goes down down the tiny street one street east. And puts me technically 40 feet into a neighborhood that isn't like mine and stretches a few miles west.

And makes my car insurance $400/year more expensive than if I was 40 feet further east.

if someone wrote

then added an extra commentary underneath, but it added no value to the original statement, would it still be worth +1.02?

Our local taxi licensing board decided to implement flat fees into town about a year ago for pickups at the airport. We pay an extra $4 to be brought to our door rather than be dropped off on the street just south of ours. With a bunch of luggage-- and with Vancouver's increasingly frequent rain-- of course we want to be brought as close to our front door as possible, and certainly 4 bucks doesn't change my life at all. But that arbitrary line drawn on the city map just annoys the hell out of me.

Why hasn't the value of an opinion increased from two cents? What about inflation??

The Fed met and lower the rate

He's still around. Lives in Edmonds with his wife. Last I heard, they were still organizing tours to Scandinavia.

Congrats to Magnus Carlsen today, World Chess Champion. A bit slow at work and was able to follow a bit...riveting at times, if your into that sort of thing.

A couple of lifetimes ago, I had a good group of neighbors and we used to have some epic chess nights.

Wow! I'm surprised that he's still active. When I was a little kid he seemed to be a lot older than I was, though I guess almost every adult looks old to a little kid.

I just checked Wikipedia; he was born 1925!

Anyway. I finally oppened up the bottle you suggested yesterday (Chateau Bellefont Belcier 2005). Very nice wine. Kept some for day 2 to try with a filet.
