We're having a beautiful winter up here on this, the first day of Spring. Almost time to play the Maine version of Carrot in a Box: Guess How Deep That Pothole Really Is!
Happy Friday Miss C!
Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
Is 'Alpine Divorce' a meant to be humorous fabrication ?
I mean, in the second paragraph it states that her and her 'not exactly a boyfriend' (my baby rabbit ears) were 'not exclusive', and then it goes on with she 'would realise her partner was seeing other women'.
Like, explain to me like I am 5 years old, what does not exclusive mean.
Now, I am no Lee Child or William Withaspear, but it would appear that whomever concocted this tale had missed Story Writing 101.
Seems obvious to me that, in the first example at least, the bloke meant to murder MJ up on that trail, but the mountain gods smiled on her and provided someone who took her 'partner's' attention more than she did.
So surprising that women, people, freely go into vastly unpopulated areas, hillside tracks, mountains, etcetera, with an abandon of care and thought.
One only has to look at all the dead bodies up on the side of Mount Everest to see the carnage happening right before our eyes.
Or at the end of a large telescope at least ... it is a long trek up there.
At least, for some, they don't have to walk back down again.
That BYD battery sounds great, and here in the left lower Pacific region we don't have harsh winters.
I notice that the cars are attractive, and look quite a lot like early century Alfa Romeos, mainly the Brera, but also the 159.
That's a pretty good accolade.
