The Horse @TheHorse (234034) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Jan

How foggy is it, Horse? It's so foggy that I can barely see my truck in the parking lot. OK, that was at 7:30 AM. That's the kind of fog that makes even the stupidest of drivers slow down. . At 9:30, I can see my truck, but I...

Ptrikha_2 Great share. We have eaten Red Radish very less times. White ones are more commonly available. We use these in Paranthas and sometimes have them as Salad as well.

Ptrikha_2 Looks quite interesting! We have something similar that is used as Filling for ice Cream cones but I do not think I have tasted it much. And the name is interesting as well. One similar word "Kifayeti" in Urdu implies something that is economical and cost...

Ptrikha_2 Braving cold weather and getting some needed rest after a hectic week. If rain helps in feeling better than snow and more cold, it is good. But of course, you would be well prepared for the cold weather. Have a nice time ahead !

Ptrikha_2 Interestingly, we also had a low of 4.5 C on Friday Morning. After a few very chilly days, we had a warmer afternoon with mercury around 20 C. Icy cold winds test us when we venture outside, especially early mornings and late evenings.

Iran - 'Facebook ...not face covering, please.... God willing!

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4705) • Northampton, England 10 Jan

Well, it looks like Iran will fall this time or, at least, serious concessions made for more freedoms. The Mullahs have used Islam to control these people for far too long. Muslim countries tend to have a young population and the...

Ptrikha_2 I do not think regime change in Iran is so easy. Iran is much bigger and hostile than Iraq. Not sure how much Oil exploration US would get in Venezuela but they would get at least some benefit. In the end, the worst sufferers are the common citizens.

Ptrikha_2 I never heard or read about this Castle before. Perhaps we normally do not "associate" US as much with castles as say Germany, other mainland European nations or even UK. I hope this place gets more visitors!

The wolf moon as it was in Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (369866) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Jan

The photo is Vince’s. My camera couldn’t compete with the street lights but Vin managed to dodge them somehow. As Amber (@AmbiePam) stated, it’s called a ‘wolf moon’. It seems this name is given to the full first moon of the year...

How is your water?

Amber @AmbiePam (110731) • United States 9 Jan

I drink bottled water (yes, I recycle). I didn’t always, but the water at my apartment tastes terrible. I used to be able to tolerate it because I’d put it in the freezer to get it ice cold. That quit working, and eventually...

Ptrikha_2 Here, the water we get from the taps is not good enough for drinking. We have an RO (Reverse Osmosis) system. Some houses use Water filters. We cannot directly use tap waters. I have seen and read that Scandinavian countries and Switzerland have tap water fit...

Ptrikha_2 Sounds nice ! As we do not eat Non veg, would replace it with Paneer or Soyabean. It was a hectic weekend with local travel, some errands to local shopping complex and well, handling the tough icy cold weather.

Did the US really invade a foreign country last night?

The Horse @TheHorse (234034) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Jan

Did the US really invade Venezuela last night and capture their President and his wife? I have seen this on several news sources but find it kind of hard to believe. I have to head to Guitar Center soon, so I'll have to do my...

Ptrikha_2 It has been very shocking. Yet it has happened. Now it remains to be seen if he gets a fair trial in US. Also, who will manage Venezuela and how? This has been out of International norms to capture a President while he was in sleep.
