SNL's rating keep going down because the writing has declined, the skits are cliched instead of clever or funny, and people are simply worn out by the political impersonations and sketches. They need better writers to provide them with some original content.
You're correct Sawnee, it's Santorini, Greece. Those blue roofs on the white buildings set against the sea make for a good picture.
A quick story about my Greece trip. We visited the Isle of Patmos, a small Greek island on the Aegean Sea and best known as the place of exile for the Apostle John. This is where he received his "revelation"
it's Greek to me.Good morning D-League. It's currently 59°, with the possibility of rain and a high of 79° expected later today.
Everyone stay safe out there today.
Had 10 days tour to Greece - hadn't been there - scheduled for late-March 2020. Oh well. Maybe someday now.
I stopped watching after Will Ferrell left in 2002. It just hasn't been that funny to me since. SNL had some lean years but they always were able to find new talent to fill in the gaps. The season after Belushi and Aykroyd left was almost unwatchable but the following year Eddie Murphy saved the show from possible cancellation. Now they should really let the show die on the vine. It's had a good run but it's been stale for a long time.
Sounds like a good excuse for me to get a hotel room on the flex spend acct, if it was me that had such an appt. Wonder if they'd approve such an expenditure? That's worth a call to the health insurance people
While stationed in Turkey, some of us took a bus tour. The ruins at Ephesus was one of the stops. I have my picture standing by what they said was the grave of John at the site of the old church. My hair literally stood on end while standing there.A quick story about my Greece trip. We visited the Isle of Patmos, a small Greek island on the Aegean Sea and best known as the place of exile for the Apostle John. This is where he received his "revelation"
When we arrived I asked a man where the grave of John was and he said it is not here. I had always thought for some reason John was exiled and died on the island. I imagined him in chains in a dungeon. Nothing was further from the truth.. John had one of the most beautiful scenes on earth. He also had a servant who assisted him who the monks said actually wrote the words John recorded from his revelation. His lifestyle in exile is what some people today would pay millions for. So God protected John and he was not martyred as were other disciples.
After 18 months on the island Rome changed leadership and became friendlier to Christians. John was released from exile and returned to Ephesus (present day Turkey) where he passed away after a long and fulfilling life.
So bottom line, if you are going to exile me send me to Patmos.

It's amazing that there's not more pictures of the original Tolly Ho in Lexington. Sorry for bringing this topic up again. Good God the late nights I spent at that place back in 1978-1982 after a night of parties. This is one of the few I can find:

Finding a rental car is a big issue down here. I was told car rental companies sold off their inventory last year because no one was going anywhere. So they sold the cars, many for wholesale prices.
Muslims love wiping out any Christian or Jewish history (witness the Al-Aqsa Mosque built on top of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem).
The left wing nut jobs are never American!On March 17th we’re all Irish. On May 5th we’re all Mexican. How about this July 4th we all act like Americans
They all start perfect Dark Magic, Sunrise, Ornamentals.
They aren't so bad at wiping out their own history either, especially when its Sunni versus Shia or even some sect versus another. This is me in Samarra, Iraq in 1992 out in front of the Al-Askari Golden Mosque built by the Shias in 944 AD. It was quite beautiful. This photo barely gives a hint of its grandeur. The Sunnis leveled it about a dozen years later...
As I said Mo screwed up about a billion people. 1400 years later his grandsons are still at war.
Dan'l Boone did that too...
And wound up in Kaintuck.
Yogi said it better: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
