[Russian Sanctions] Dear Customer, As countries and companies around the world cut ties with Russia over their invasion of Ukraine, VacationsToGo and our travel partners are cancelling future vacations scheduled to visit Russia. Cruise lines that were planning to visit the Russian city of St. Petersburg this summer on Baltic Sea cruises are altering itineraries to remove St. Petersburg and replace it with one or more non-Russian ports. Nearly 400 cruise ship calls were scheduled for St. Petersburg this summer so these cancellations will result in the loss of revenue from about 500,000 tourists. |
![]() [“Name that plant”] Friday, February 18. That plant is a cultivar of a Dieffenbachia, I think. It’s a hardy houseplant from S. America, I think. Definitely not a Florida native |
[Ironic Bum] There was a bum sitting on the curb in the Winn Dixie parking lot begging for (booze) money. At the other end of the lot was a sign: Help Wanted. Why should I help a bum who’s not willing to help himself? |
![]() If you have been watching the horror show, Air Disasters, as I have, you might also think of alternative travel methods. I do think this program must be sponsored by Greyhound and or Amtrak. Episode 1 |
[Is Free Speech Dead] I think so. I, Steve Kirsch, asked to give a talk about COVID at MIT, but they couldn’t find a faculty member to sponsor it. Apparently, they don’t allow viewpoints that challenge the mainstream narrative. Twenty-four years ago, I donated $2.5M to MIT for an auditorium. They named the auditorium in the EECS building named in my honor: the Kirsch Auditorium. Link |

[Captain Doom and Gloom] On machismo: Rome fell because men became woman, woman became men and goats got rammed! Look around today and see the same play book and how the planet is again falling apart. Time for another culling; or better known as WW3. Dog, save us all that don’t bend over. On transportation: Self-driving vehicles are the new gadget some idiots invented to save a few rubles by not having to hire a driver. Just wait until one of those 20-ton SDV trucks crush a school bus full of kids. There will be no place on this rock for the manufacturers to hide. |

![]() [Sexy Man] Gentlemen, every woman in your life now has at least a small crush on Volodymyr Zelenskyy and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. And in my household, it’s my wife, stepdaughter and to some extent my 7-year-old granddaughter |
[Peoples’ Convoy] There are 2 other convoys that have massive turnouts, and are in progress to the DC area as we speak. They are The People’s Convoy (which was the first convoy to launch out of Cal0 which is in New Mexico now and the Texas Convoy which departs soon. Video |
![]() [One-dollar Bills] U.S. has committed over $1 billion to secure the assistance to Ukraine in less than a year. The area covered by 1,000,000,000 (one billion) one-dollar bills measures 4 square miles. This would cover an area equal to the size of 2,555 acres. Link |
[Help Wanted] Winn-Dixie closed their deli meat department because they can’t find anyone who wants to work. Not knowing how much they pay, and how much free lunch the employees take, I bet the lazy bastards think they are worth what lawyers get. It’s time to nationalize wages per occupation and gender. Either produce or get out. Piece work has always weeded out the bums |
