Don't we love our luxury problems ... 🙂

They sure are good boys, you must be a good father and that IS a beautiful watch - enjoy !!

Same here - my industry ( airline ) did not even observe those two, we had NO holidays as that is when people fly ... 🙂 Never missed not having "official" holidays, the job was pretty much a permanent holiday for me most of the time anyway 🙂

A very touching and respectful tribute to a great friendship and a even greater loss. I feel like I share your loss right now. My heartfelt condolences. I will smoke my next cigar in honour of the friend and brother you have lost Ray.

Yep, that's it - will see I take a few of Miss Yette flat bellying 🙂

Nice "Fatherland" box. That one name Juan March on the Bofeton struck me as very familiar. I remember him being the boss/owner of the Transmediterranea shipping company in the 60's, but I guess he was more than that : Juan March From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_March In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is March and the second or maternal family name is Ordinas.

Same here with Miss Yette, she'll flat belly like 3-4 times during my morning walk with all four sticking out. It's been too hot here lately for a 90 min. walk in the sun. This is how she rests after the walk.

Nino, but I do support the principle of black lives mattering, Same here. 150% I'm not ultra right, I'm not ultra left. something like the end of slavery is seismic event in the history of man, It's commemoration should be pretty obvious.

A very young Mark Knopfler playing here ... 🙂

Guess I will take my comment over to the music section and just let Randy Newman speak for me ... 🙂

A very unusual analogy IMHO. While I do agree it is a worthy celebration day event - I do agree with previous posters - it is all about Money, Christmas and .... other events.

After over a year of smoking regular production it was ( no arrogance intended in the analogy ) like going from McD Burgers to an Adrian Ferra Michelin starred dinner menu…. And then some ! Ninety minutes of pure bliss, aromas, flavours,
