salute

a salute to the wonderful country USA, and to the good friends south of the border...the unfortunate turn of events due to a madcap administration inspires hostility, nevertheless the true friends remain highly valued..right now we all need patience and resilience

by the way, national travel agent Flight Centre reports that bookings to the USA are currently down by 40%....is it any wonder?

I feel the same way as Dan, only having grown up in New York I can honestly say that I have hated the orange monster since he first came on the scene. He has cheated people his whole life.
Let's hope things change very soon.

It's blows my mind how one person and his demented followers can be so destructive to practically everything.. I've been telling people what a horrible excuse for a person he is for over ten years now. I can't believe after the disaster of his first term that anyone would vote for him again accept for the most credulous of his cult. Sadly, the US has a lot of really stupid people who are too lazy or distracted to follow the news and know what is really going on. That said, the majority of us down here will always be your friends and cherish those relationships. On another note, it's good you went to Zion and other national parks while you could. We don't know if they will even remain open. ~BV~

Friendships really matter,

Several times in my life I have learned not to pay too much attention to political idiocy - it is the close friends who are important, however rough the going might be.

Im hoping for a positive outcome for everyone

exceptional! VVV

I hope all goes back to the way it was before. Love the souvenirs.

Well said David.

I agree with what you say. I hope this madness passes without any damage to our friends to the south, or to us in the north.

I'd pack my bags (and my cats) if it was feasible.......

Wise words and an equally wise image!
Personal friendships are so important at this time.
As a government employee I am on pins and needles and I am watching my retirement funds wither away.
Big vote for this image and friendship!

Hard to swallow, even with a large dose of Bourbon.

Just a matter of patience I guess! V

Nice to hear that the friendships can withstand the political discord.V!

A fine still life.

Not too surprising. Nice memories of the past fun times.
Carl Carbone09-Mar-2025 00:18
Nice mementos of a better time. I'm hopeful that the orange idiot is on borrowed time.

What a terrific juxtaposition! I'm glad to hear that Canadians haven't turned against true American friends, although I do know of one person from north of the border who refuses to have anything to do with any Americans, even if they didn't vote for the man and hate what's going on here.

And Tesla sales are well down in this part of the world at least ... is it any wonder indeed?
Mairéad08-Mar-2025 21:03
It's good to hear that friendships can withstand the obstacles being put in their way by the current regime south of the border and not the least bit surprised that Canadians are reluctant to holiday there.

c'est dans l'adversité qu'on reconnait ces vrais amis ! il faut ce dire que 4 années vont je l'espère passer très vite ! et de toute façon, heureusement tout émonde n'est pas d'accord avec les actes de ce monsieur ! v

Mr T. already has a lot to answer for, David. A colourful and eye-catching image to accompany your fine words.
