Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Women: they get shit done

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Too inconsequential to be sued

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Nevertheless, she persisted.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

The willow is too close to the house.

Good luck with your asparagus.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The revolution will be supervised.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Dinky Hocker shoots smack!

Lighten up, Francis.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The math demands it!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Not all heroes wear capes.

Good Morning All,

It’s Friday and it’s otmar. Enough said!

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter otmar.

I’ve been negligent with regards to posting updates from life on the road in Europe. So here are some recent pictures.

This set is from our yearly week of skiing in Carinthia.

We were really lucky with the snow and weather this year. 4 days of perfect conditions is more than you can expect.

This is the view from the Gerlitzen towards south-east. The river is the Drau, the long, narrow lake is the Wörthersee.

Looking south-west, you can see Villach.

The mountain ranges you can see are first the Karawanken and behind that is Slovenia with the Triglav massif.

Klagenfurt is the state capital of Carinthia. This here is the of the old town square.

This is the official seat of the Carinthia’s government. (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landhaus_Klagenfurt)

I think I shared a picture of Schloss Rosegg before. They seem to have cut down a number of trees recently, leading to a clear view to the building.

 

Thank you so much otmar, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

    Beautiful! Between today’s and yesterday’s photos, I’ve decided photos are the best way to experience winter.
