Kind of like youtube knows more about what I would like to watch than I do. Maybe cookies or an Apple thing. Reminds of Facebook users telling me they were talking about a certain item and a while latter it pops up in an ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 60's and early 70's did people have a need for much more than a mattress thrown in the back? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to be a penalty for not following the rules of which they determine at their will. I have had just one that was 3 days, which so far...shockingly...is my only one. There are several on here that have had several, lasting longer each time. We lost Troy/M8 to his final "walk the plank" ban. Even when he "reinvented" himself. 😉 Find it much easier to avoid if I stick to nice tame threads like this. The main RCI boards can get quite ugly at times...sadly. 😞 Thank you for the explanation, Pat. Now it makes sense! I agree with you about the ugly posts... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too believed it to be Curaçao. Our first time visiting Curacao was during a hurricane...I believe it may have been 1990. We were told it was the first time in 100 years that the Walking Bridge was closed. Luckily for us, we had an excursion booked, where a taxi picked us up at the ship and drove over a bridge that brought us into town. It was very crowded that day...as it turned out, Queen Beatrice from the Netherlands was visiting...we actually saw her as her entourage passed in front of us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 27, 2021 #28042 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Another day with grandkids today. It seems we are doing repeats now, but I guess that happens when you try to fill every day. Today, we started out at an animal park. Butterflies And bears, oh my! Feeding giraffes and riding horses When I saw this sign, I thought of Harry A late lunch stop at Primanti Brothers. As many times as I have eaten there, I never tried their pastrami sandwich. I just may have found a new favorite. Now , we are enjoying and outdoor concert with music of the 70’s. A nice ending for the week. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted August 27, 2021 #28043 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I’m way behind again and can’t possibly comment on all the posts I’d like to. But I am caught up on reading them all. I will say it looks like @grapau27 Graham & Pauline had wonderful cruise for their anniversary and looks like @DaniDanielleis having fun too. I’m also enjoying TreeSkier’s Alaskan cruise thread. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryfat1 Posted August 27, 2021 #28044 Share Posted August 27, 2021 To my fellow Northern California cruisers - how is the air in your area today? With the wind shift starting today and the various wild fires out there, looks like we easily have the worst air in the country today per Purpleair.com. Starting to feel like being on Mars again with the orange taint starting to build as the day wears on. I'm seeing number eye popping numbers by Lake Tahoe at over 600. The chart from web site is is only going up to 500. So their air quality is really "off the chart"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the El Dorado area is where one of the many fires in the state is burning - south of Lake Tahoe on this map where you get deep purple colors and some above 500. Other states worry about rain and flood. We worry about fire and smoke. We will gladly accept half of the rain from any storm out there to put out all the fires. The winds shifted starting last night so the bay area is due for a heatwave this weekend on top of bad air blowing our way. Think this weekend will be a stay inside the house weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New article for those unfamiliar with the orange skies. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/09/orange-sky-california-fires-smoke-san-francisco This is picture from my cell phone of the neighborhood last September. Un-altered with no photoshop. It's as orange as it looks on picture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
