Is it wrong that I'm still a fan of Ural Motorcycles?

Have they done something wrong?

No, they just happen to be made in Russia....

In that case I would say no. I don't hold all of Russia responsible for what Putin has done. Obviously, it is up to you and how you feel on it, but that is my take.

You guys oughta hear the wind outside right now!

I'm still up watching the storm. Swirling ice-snow zipping sideways in the keening wind, the cold hitting like shards of glass penetrating skin, muscle, bone. Too fascinating and rare an event to go to sleep and miss, though one by one my family went off to bed and even my faithful dogs have gone to sleep by the orange embers of the fireplace. Just me now as it so often is in the bleak dead of night.

Hey,  I'm curious, was it only Catholic school or did you publics have the term "pervirgin" meaning a technical virgin who lived a pervert's life?

Trying to talk someone out of a situation where they are going to end up killing themselves, and possibly others while also trying to stop someone ending up committing suicide on top of preparing for my own major life change coming up, then dealing with the whole will stuff on top of all the regular normal life stuff is emotionally, spiritually and physically exhausting. I am starting to feel like I have nothing left to give to support others.

When I get to feeling like that, I know it is time to kick back, watch some enjoyably bad movies or listen to some loud music and recharge my mental batteries.

The road to Heaven is long, and if you only walk it on sunny days, you will never get there.

I can't remember where we were discussing them, but it looks like the market for NFTs has collapsed and they are now being used as a tax write-off, with them seemingly having very little resale value.

Hard to imagine one selfish little twerp could do that to an entire industry...

No, Sam Bankman-Fried, who stole all his clients money & "donated" it all to the democrat party.
