All the best, see you on the other side. :)

Raz, hope it goes well; looking for to hearing from you once you're settled.

One week reprieve.  Rescheduled move.  Good, it's 90 degrees today and I have no air conditioning in my car.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yes.  One is in Mongolia and one is in Greenland.  Cities are sometimes compared to one another poetically. Ann Arbor is "the Athens of the Midwest".  Kansas City is "The Paris of the Plains".  If there are 39 "Venices of the North" and 41 "Venices of East" certainly there should be at least one "Dalanzadgad of the West" and why shouldn't it be Jefferson City?  I picked Dalanzadgad and Qaqortoq because they are ugly and hard to say names.  This is one of those jokes that is probably funny only to me.

Well, I have no money because I can't hold down a job because I'm insane.  Also there no place in particular I want to be.  The town I'm moving to isn't bad, it has a Fazoli's and more importantly it has apartments to rent.  My hometown does not have either.  A tornado cam through two years ago and destroyed some of the apartments in town creating an acute shortage of affordable housing.

Dalanzadgad is twinned with Zhodzina, Belarus.  Zhodzina's main business is manufacturing mining trucks.  The largest producer of mining trucks in the US is Caterpillar, which is headquartered in Deerfield, IL

So there you have it.  Deerfield is the Dalanzadgad  of the West.

I don't think that's the negative development they're trying to paint.

I'm currently on holiday in Milan, and last night I went to San Siro to watch the Rolling Stones.

It was... a bit sad. I mean, it was super-entertaining - their songs are just too great -, but they are a shadow of what they were (they are in their late 70s ffs). Keith Richards in particular looks like he's barely there. Jagger doesn't nearly have the same energy he once had (although he just had Covid).

On the "Italians and Russia" front, they had a small homage to Ukraine during Gimme Shelter that barely got a reaction from the audience.  :lol:
