There may be hope for both Oregon & Washington

Only if we can cure our immigrants of their constant need to "Californicate", I sometimes wonder why they're here if they don't appreciate the way the natives have been doing things for years.

We sorta got it figured out now they want to get a share with no personal investment of any kind. That is the same way I think about millenialls (sp).
I have a grand daughter that is one.

Very nice, Wayne.
Wouldn't work for me.
My wife would probably say "What are you going to do with her?"
I guess I could use her as a pillow but that is about all.

Yes; joke was already over on the thread with the rest of the jokes, but I guess another visual only helps reinforce the situation,

I am beginning to think that my daughter, is afflicted with the same disease

I don't know why but the sign about no hope of rescue reminded me of this story.

Conquering your fear of heights.

Jump off a cliff.

As soon as your feet leave the ground your eyes see there is nothing below but 40-feet of air and a blanket of ocean. It is at this point that your body will be taken over by pure adrenaline. Your mind will race back to the cheesy movie Point Break when Bodhi yells out, “100% pure adrenaline! Other guys snort for it, jab a vein for it. All you gotta do is jump!” The adrenaline will course through your veins as you start to fall. You’ll be excited! You’re conquering that fear! Then you will remember the other line from Point Break, “Via con dios!,” and start to wonder if you’ve made a huge mistake.

Is the African continent splitting into two continents?
See "rift" and activity in SW Kenya for evidence.

Normal tectonic activity. I will admit to fairly limited knowledge of the subject.

Me, too, but there seemed to be news of recent up-ticks in quakes and splitting.

The "RIFT" is a series of faults that run through much of East Africa, including the entire length of Kenya.
Recent rains washed fill (dirt and ash from a volcano) out of part of a side crack.
The press has had a field day over this, claiming Africa is splitting in half.
I wouldn't call if half, it is more like the San Andreas fault in California, just a little piece of the continent, moving slowly and generating a few earthquakes along the way. California and East Africa may both be islands someday (National Geographic says 50 million years... maybe.)

"REUTERS REPORTS THAT THE OPENING FORMED RAPIDLY!!!"

Trump the candidate blacklisted reporters and entire news outlets from campaign events, referred to journalists as “scum” and “slime.”
"I would never kill them but I do hate them,” he said of reporters. “And some of them are such lying, disgusting people.”

I don't think the problem is reporters and journalism, Mr. President. The problem is so many gullible people encouraging the lies. Why do humans love being lied to?

The press should be held accountable for exaggerating and lying to us but never have their freedom of reporting the truth taken away. [my opinion] Reuters should have reported, "Recent rainwater cleared the silt out of an ancient Rift crack in just a few minutes."

Then people would go, "Ho hum," and say, "Let's see if we can find some Fake News about the Rift so we can start a lying chain letter that will circulate on the internet for 50 million years. By then it will be true and we can say, 'I told you!'"

[Rufus T. Firefly]

...........that will circulate on the internet for 50 million years.

Kind of doubt that will happen or last that long.

By then it will be true and we can say, 'I told you!'"

I'll make a note of it.

Oh. Here we go again. Gullible (stupid?) for even asking or bringing a subject up. Such a nice place to visit and converse.

I think what Wayne was trying to say is that the media have become like the tabloids at the market. They sensationalize everything they put into print. And facebook and they rest of the social media have suckered people into believing what is being posted. Just my opinion of course.

It's all about the money and getting people agitated - it sells commercial time!

It's not so much Facebook and the rest of the social media sites as much as the people that make use of them to sucker everyone.
