Good for you. It is a easy to learn real defense. It was designed for real world fighting for men and women. Just YouTube female Krav Maga instructing. Terrifying!!!
Is a fighting word? Like from Dune

I have no idea lol
Nope, no returns... No shipping any brown recluse spiders into Florida, back or otherwise.
Now, shipping reclusive CDR regulars and other honored guests into Florida... That's another matter!
If you visit me, you have to stay at a hotel, though... I'm a little short on tank space right now... Bad nasties don't always come from Florida, you know...
Sometimes we're just the first stop on an international, interstate tour.

Dont ever do that lolGiving you the benefit of the doubt...
Good mornooning all. The weather has turned. Yesterday was glorious sunshine and we have woken to rain that’s with us for the forecastable future
I am loving Mark’s photos of the ships in Baltimore harbour. I went there years ago when we visited former next door neighbours who had moved back home (circa 1986) and loved it. They’re in Pennsylvania now.

So here’s what we got up to yesterday...
Open House London is celebrating architecture. Lots of buildings that aren’t normally open to the public allow people to take a peep inside. The tours are usually short and self-guided so you can see the highlights.
We visited:
HM Treasury (the government finance offices)
The Royal Society (the world’s oldest independent scientific academy)
The Roman Bath (not actually Roman or a bath [emoji1] - a 17th century fountain cistern)
Australia House (the Australian Embassy)
Bush House (former home of the BBC)
King’s College London’s Chapel
Clothworkers Hall (The Worshipful Company of Clothworkers is one of the oldest Livery Companies - trade groups - in the City of London)
The Institut Français de Royaume Uni (set up a century ago to promote French arts in the UK)
South Kensington Tube Station (behind the scenes to see disused bits)
Piccadilly Circus Tube Station (also behind the scenes to see the disused bits)
We walked around 14km (8.5 miles) and took a lot of photos so I am going to have to be selective with my postcards.
I’ll start with The Royal Society
Australia House
View from Bush House’s 8th floor terrace
King’s College London chapel

I am not sure TFO is playing nicely with all those photos.

Everything we visited was free admission!

I can’t remember what station, but my grandma spent a night with her older brother in a tube station during an air raid. She said although it was terrifying, she was cozy under the blanket they were given for the night.
Lots of tube stations were used as Air Raid Shelters in both World Wars.
The ones used were deep underground so very safe. However, they were very unsanitary... toilet facilities were limited.
Piccadilly Circus had a capacity officially of 2000 during raids, but it is estimated that 7000 actually crammed themselves in there. The late comers ended up sleeping on the escalators.
Clapham South has disused tunnels setup as they were in wartime with proper bunk beds, but those were first come first served.

Down Street (now completely closed) was used as government offices. Churchill had a bedroom there!
Thanks, glad you and your father in law's blood clots worked out. I just got done dealing with 2 clots a few months ago when they took the filter out. I am still going to my doctor on mon. because of my diabetes.

My wife buys my clothes and I wear them. I have many colorful shirts. I have the standard appearance of a old man living in Florida.No cruise experience is complete without wearing a Hawaiian shirt
Yes in the morning the pool decks were full of those towel animals.
Now I am wondering if I got bit on the cruise fri or fri night when I got home. I guess it really doesn't matter. LOLI guess that proves the existence of the Wool Spider...
Good there’s no fever.
