Yes I hear you. We have a game here called Germany or Florida where we have to guess from which of those two regions did an utterly macabre or baffling news story come from.
I'd love to see Colorado or Oregon or Alaska though I've heard that Washington state had some interesting islands just off the main land, iirc. And I've heard Seattle is great.

I've taken a Seaplane from Seattle to Orcas Island and that was a great trip. Seattle is a nice city and the state itself has many breathtaking sights and brilliant places to drive to.
This will sound highly ignorant, but read it in the light of my having visited the US more than 50 times. Nothing I've ever seen about Florida makes me want to go there, and I have no intention of doing so.
I'll reserve my trips for places like Washington state, which is a fantastic place.
Son of a gun if you ever read the synopsis for the book 'A Wolf, His Butcher, A Demon, and Their Master' sounds like a doozy.
In the dense woodland and harsh humidity of the Georgia/Florida border, a ruthless, and idyllic, Captain attempts to right his old wrongs and heal festering wounds to sustain his own lawfully rigid empire in this coastal wasteland. Helping him enforce his power are his two protégés, Cliff Ramos and Cooper Cornelius Happenstance, known better as Coop.
Ramos is a young and brilliant detective, orphaned at an early age, and has always felt apart from the norm of humanity. He is being mentored by the older, and very animalistic Coop whose instincts are never in question. Both men have a unique ability to find, and create trouble, and are in a constant battle with themselves to either accept the demonic urges inside them or to rise up against that part of themselves and embrace their humanity….or is there a way to do both?
This tale unfolds to hilarious, dark, and violent chapters of human greed, animal desires, and other worldly phenomenon, as Ramos, Cooper, and the Captain work to maintain power over their sanity and reality.
When Coop’s daughter, Sam, begins to have people die around her, both men are directed to investigate. Ramos and the girl are fallen lovers from high school, and he is vying to get her back. Coop cares for nothing since his wife died, except to protect Sam from any harm. Who is committing these random acts of murder? Is it Boogy, Sam’s estranged eco-terrorist husband and father to her child? Is it the crime syndicate of The Viking, striking back at Coop for destroying their local operations years ago after they had brutally murdered his wife? Or does the trail lead closer to home, possibly implicating Sam, or even Ramos and Coop?
It definitely sounds intersesting...
I didn't use to need the internet, my wife knew everything.
Wow thanks so much for posting that Paul. Apparently it's one book in a series. I've already ordered the paperback from Amazon. Along with 'Covenant With Death', the story of the Sheffield regiment as they partied their way to answer Kitchener's Call and eventually ended up on the Somme.
Bit of an odd one here I suppose. Got stood up by a date on Thursday. That's happened before this one actually kind of hurt. And thats OK. That's dating.
I had bought some nice flowers for the date and so they were then just a bouquet of red and pink roses in my kitchen in a vase with nothing to do.
Someone suggested to bring them to an assisted living home and brighten a resident's day. So I did. I called ahead.
Today I waived and smiled at an elderly lady crossing a walk outside of a restaraunt.
I know it ultimately can be boiled down to selfishness still, wanting to do something nice to gain the reward of feeling nice.
But I'd like to make it a habit. I surprised myself and quit sugar for 14 days. I wonder if I can do the same by just offering small/tiny gestures of reaching out to someone once per day.
Maybe that's a perversion of "the selfless act"? But so what if the act still happens?
Payments? Ahh yes. I'm terribly low on cash would acorns be ok? There's got to be a million of them in the backyard. It's like a goldmine back there. Sorry I should have clarified this earlier.
