POG Pub October 2020: RIP Trick or Treating, Worst Halloween Ever - Page 20

I learned today that EU plans to keep out Canadians again. This comes just days before KLM was to start flights to Amsterdam again. A real kick in the nuts for my airport.

At least flights to Mexico still seem to be starting again.

I was talking to someone yesterday who is flying to Florida on vacation next week. I walked away think how a year ago that would have seemed routine, now it's so unusual and hard to contemplate that it was kinda stunning to even hear about it.

Made in China but ships out of Southern California.

Great value imo.

edit: Oh, I guess one more note about the mask is that it's designed to fit a larger sized face so it's a smidge big on my teenage daughter. It's fine for my teenage son.

Now that I've been using these I'm not sure how much I'd recommend them. 3 of the first 4 I've tried to use the string/ear hook part pulled right off of the mask when I went to put them on. Going to try to be more careful when putting them on and see if it's me being too rough with them but not too happy with them right now.

An easy solution to this problem is to just put a staple in it near the attachment area. I did this to one of my original masks back in March.

I also have a big dome.

KLM stewardesses are so ****ing hot in those light blue uniforms, or at least they used to be. I flew to Amsterdam at least a dozen times back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when tickets were crazy cheap. Off season would be 4 or 500 rt, even peak summer was 700-800. Hotels crazy cheap too, the good old days! Everything's ruined now of course. I think the Buddhists call that Anicca.

I realized that at this point in my life I probably feel less awkward talking about how attractive men are than how attractive women are.

I just checked my Facebook ** and holy **** what happened. I've got dozens of people and companies that I unfollowed or blocked showing up in my timeline and it almost looks like most recent is working for once.

** The LOL Facebook is a given and understood.

Looks like we might be looking for some more chickens.

Hoping she's sold the neighbour's quad and is heading to Cabo to live off the proceeds.

We had a fox patrolling around our chicken/duck pen the other day and now one of our bantams that could easily escape but would always return at night is missing.

Maybe you should stick to history and leave the farming to the farmers. They're outstanding in their field!

Once you escape you have to change clothes.

I spoke too soon. She's back. Maybe the heap of black feathers was a bald eagle whose ass she kicked
