Just spent $300 on a limousine and discovered that the fee doesn’t include a driver. Can’t believe I spent all that money and have nothing to chauffeur it.
My wife just told me that, “sex is better on vacation. “Not the best postcard I’ve ever received.

My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.

Today is Restoration of Independence Day, a public holiday in Lithuania. This holiday marks the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union on this day in 1990. The Lithuanian people voted for self-rule in elections held in February 1990, and the new democratically elected parliament declared independence from the Soviet Union on March 11th 1990. The Soviet Union reacted negatively to the act of independence and began an economic blockade against Lithuania and eventually resorted to violence against people holding vigil around the capital buildings in Vilnius on January 13th 1991. Outrage from around the world stopped the attack and Lithuania’s independence was recognized by the Soviets later that year.

Today is Moshoeshoe Day in Lesotho, a country I have fond memories of. Moshoeshoe was the first King of Lesotho. He founded Basutoland to unite the local tribes to successfully fight against the Zulus and later the Boers. While Basutoland eventually became a British colony, Moshoeshoe was successful in keeping it from becoming a part of South Africa and it eventually became the independent country of Lesotho.
