Garden spot of the tropical Yukon.

The waiting sucks. Have faith that progress WILL occur.

These AI things are worst than infuriating -- enraging is more like it. Sorry about that, and keep us informed.

Awfully weird that neither the Mossad nor CIA knows where he is. Might he be dead, and the IRGC is running things in his name? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where's Mojtaba? Intelligence Agencies Stumped Over Whereabouts of 'Cardboard Ayatollah' He's supposedly in charge of the Islamic Republic of Iran after the U.S.-Israel airstrikes of Operation Epic Fury/Operation Roaring Lion wiped out former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and virtually the entire command structure of Iran. His name is Mojtaba Khamenei, he's the son of the recently vaporized Ayatollah, and he was named the new Supreme Leader by the country's "Assembly of Experts" in early March. Reports indicate that he may be gay and that his father wasn't particularly impressed with his intellectual capacity. The question remains, however: is he even alive, and if so, where the hell is he? He has made no public appearances and his statements have only been read aloud by others, not delivered by he himself.

Pooky is right again: ----- Ugly, Cheap, and Deadly: The A-10 Proves Itself Again Over the Red Sea The A-10 Warthog never tried to impress anyone with looks. Good thing, because it couldn't; the plane looks as though it was assembled in a scrapyard during a bar fight. And when things get serious, it's still one of the first aircraft anybody wants covering them overhead. Operation Epic Fury just drove the point home again, this time over the Red Sea.

Good package. Good luck! Separate point: Have you each drafted estate documents, such as wills, powers of attorney, and associated papers? These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more valuable to have in "life." See if your state has official templates available online; if not, shop for an attorney to draft them.

Will believe this when indictments drop. Many need to pay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Justice Department takes action on the real Russian collusion conspiracy This week, we learned that the probe into the Russian conspiracy theory in Florida is moving forward with the disclosure that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real Russia conspiracy — the creation of a false narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration. At issue is what could be the greatest political hit job in history. Of course, the growing evidence of this conspiracy continues to be buried by one of its key components: the media. Nevertheless, the "truth will out," and it appears to be coming out in Florida.

Depending on whether and how the criteria may have tightened up, my first impression is no. I defer to others here.

Not unless the travel period will drop you under the minimum required U.S. stay necessary to file. Call it an update sheet. If you filed electronically, upload it, and also bring it in person.

Three jokes in a row, this one being Sunday's Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== ST. PETER AND THE MEAN WOMAN Naomi had a reputation for being nasty, which followed her all the way to the Pearly Gates when she died. "You said some pretty awful things to your husband," said St. Peter. "Like when he bought that sharp-looking hat." "I'm sorry," said Naomi, "but that thing made his ears look enormous." St. Peter shook his head. "And the skinny jeans? He's got the legs for it." "I'm sorry," she said, "but I can't get past his bony knees." "Look," said St. Peter, "if you expect to get past these gates, we'll need a genuine apology." Naomi took a breath. "I'm sorry..." "Good," said St. Peter. "…but with feet like that, you really shouldn't wear open-toed sandals."
