Roger, it's just down to the blind guy next door. But he does stay inside on bean burrito Thursday's!

Great looking scene Jon and Rufus' vehicles look too good to be true. It would be a shame to do this but they would probably benefit from some weathering .... Just an idea.

I deliberately left them freshly shopped for Jon to weather as he desired. His call entirely. I've done the hard use weathering on some of my MoW cars and then done none at all.

How about showing us a complete review of all your work, Rufus. I am sure it would be a feast for the eyes and the imagination!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Well I do have a nice set of pastel chalks. But they sit in the box and mock me because I suck at weathering. but I am pretty good at drinking beer and scaring my neighbors when I mow the yard naked.

Yeah, but I'll bet they are pretty glad you are there, esp. given your well chosen "home-protection hardware," huh.

Who,me???

The wise man is prepared ahead. There is no time to go to the gun-shop when the hoodlums are coming through the doors and windows. I say.

This fine looking lass is actually the President of Croatia!


Google it, if you don't believe me!!! Oh yeah, her Attorney General is pretty hot as well!

I'd heard that the Croatian economy is headed down the rat-hole, they are up to their armpits in Syrian "refugees", and they don't care...now I know why.

Nice white sand on that beach.

OK Jon, I googled it. Her name is Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović (age: 47), President of Croatia.

1986: Graduated Los Alamos High School, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA in 1986.
1992: Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish languages and literature from Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Croatia.
1995-1996: Studied at Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, Austria
2000: Masters International Relations from Faculty of Political Science at the University of Zagreb, Croatia.
2002-2003: Fulbright scholar at George Washingtion University, Washington D.C., USA.
Luksic Fellowship for the Kennedy School of Goverment at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. USA.
Visiting scholar at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
She speaks Croatian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and Italian.
I will let anyone interested look up her whirlwind career on the way to President of Croatia.
Just one observation on her personality, behind her back she is referred to as, "SWAMBO."

Her nickname is Afrikaans for, "SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED!" [Edit 1: I suspect I have been tricked by an Internet lie. SWAMBO could be English for She Who Always Must Be Obeyed.]

This is photo shopped, of course.

I for one, would obey every command!!!! And give her the best 30 seconds of her life!!

That is not the Prez of Croatia. That's Ice teas wife. The above photo is not a Croatian beach. You need to wear shoes on their beaches. (nasty sharp broken shells)

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Well, whoever she actually is, given Jon's info and what Wayne and Robert have added, she seems a well-rounded (get it? ) lass of numerous abilities. And if she "must be obeyed," what would be the harm? She seems to be holding the attention of the men at that table pretty well, "professionally" dressed as she is, evidencing she knows what she is doing, obviously. Eh? Huh? Wha' ?

You are 100% correct Robert. The beach is in Miami, FL. and that is Coco T.

So why is Coco T masquerading as the president of Croatia?

I wonder what Professor Jakov Kitarovic thinks of being "First Gentleman of Croatia?"
Here the reporters were waiting for him outside his apartment:=> https://youtu.be/3foEYF4wWCU
The reporter asked that very question. Jakov responds, "Had good night's sleep and yesterday was wonderful, and today is a new day and new challenges". And off he went.

I guess when you are in the back seat you don't have much to say.

The baby has altogether more fabric on than the woman.

And the woman does not seem to be oblivious to where the camera is at any given time, like fabric yardage, testimony to her deep humility, no doubt.

Coco T is a former swimsuit model, she is a professional poser. I suspect Ice T encourages her to show off.

It is a different lifestyle than you and I are used to Murph.

Bringing actual facts into this thread is frowned upon greatly! That being the case, Coco Austin has my vote for President of Croatia!
I shall now retire to my den for a scotch.
