I quit smoking cigarettes about 8 years ago and anytime I even so much as think about doing miniatures it gives me the envies to smoke.
I just do not have the patience to work with them.

Then don't do miniatures. Start doing full-size, instead. Takes more paint, but it's easier.
I applaud people who can work with them.
Finally won
dclamp! I tried hitting you up on Facebook Messenger the other day, but couldn't find you. Nice to hear from you again!
I finally killed the bug on dday9's posts. It only took hitting it hard with a hammer.
Of course, I now have a new monitor and there is a new bug.....
:D :spam:
DClamp: What did you win?
Apparently we had a tropical storm hit last night. It was certainly more windy, but more or less the same amount of rain we’ve been getting.
Got home...to some crazy high temperatures, with record high temperatures in the forecast....at least it's a dry heat....kind of like being in a convection oven.
I've just had the first rain in about 6 weeks. Lasted a couple of days. Great! The grass was going brown. All looks lovely again. The sun's out now. The only problem is now that the grass has been watered, I can almost see it grow. Now for the lawnmower. Ahhhhhh...
I thought it never stopped raining in England.
Won't be mowing for a good long time, now. Grass doesn't grow much in triple digits....or, at least, it doesn't grow LONG. It DOES grow brown.
It's crazy how different climates are.
It hasn't stopped raining here in weeks. At least once per day, most of the time several times per day.
I was out in the Seattle area last week. Getting there, it was rainy and cold for days. Not so cold that I was uncomfortable, but cold enough that while I was biking in the rain I felt I couldn't really stop for long without becoming chilled. It was the exertion that was keeping me warm. Following that was a stretch of sunny weather with comfortable, but not hot, temperatures. And now Seattle is setting heat records. I'm glad I got the weather I got, rather than this weather. It would be sunny, but it would be pretty miserable, too.
This surprised me, https://currently.att.yahoo.com/spor...200615558.html
Not sure what the gallons represent. Big difference between a gallon of beer and a gallon of whisky. The range from least to most was wider than I would have guessed.
Doesn’t surprise me so much. Bible Belt states are lower, more remote places score higher. Only real outlier is D.C., then again, is that really a surprise?
Bible belt never crossed my mind. Makes sense. We're a little isolated from it here in Ca.Quote:

Well you're going to have to drive about a hundred miles that way. -gestured in some direction-. We're a dry county here and so are the others closest to us too."
Long story short, I pick up beer on my way back before I got out of Missouri and just drank in my room.
the average in France is 3.1 US gallons (11.7 liters) with some top at 3.36 gallons in some areas (wine area and beer area ;)).
