The Defining Difference; Then and Now.

Perhaps the problem here for a lot of folk is that this sounds a lot like socialism. The People owning the community?

 

I've laughingly written it and said it at speeches any number of times carp: "Sun City was perfect for those looking to buy, from either party; we were built around a concept much like a commune for the lefties and we were also a community that had to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps (for those on the right). Something for everyone; for sure.

It still is that way; very cool.

Hope all is well with you.

 

Well I'm back on chemo but well enough to get back here. As long as the negativity scale stays under . . . . ......... 28%.

 

So glad to see you posting again carptrash, you have been missed. Can’t wait for your engagement on the various topics, as you always bring your own unique perspectives to all you do.
Here’s to continued good health and happy posting.

 

I hadn't heard ct, sorry about that but good to see you rejoin us. Sadly, civility is tested more often that it should be.

 

CT, best of luck on your chemo. While you are sitting around I have a book recommendation, Oathbreakers. This the story of the breakup of Charlemagne’s empire by his children and grandchildren as they tried land grabbing each other’s kingdom and staging 2 coups against the king. The result was basically the formation of what we know as medieval Europe. Don’t have the book here as I am reading the SO’s house from time to time. Give it a look.

Thanks, I found the book in the Maricopa library system and just put in a request. Due to eye issues I am now a very slow reader but will put it atop the pile of books I am already reading. In fact I might start a "What are you reading?" thread somewhere. But not today.

 

Good luck with the treatment, CT.
Watch the All Creatures Great and Small series if you haven't already seen it. The library has all the seasons to borrow.
Season 7 of Outlander is also available.

 

I'm more likely to go for "Outlander" though (opinion) it has begun to wear a bit thin.

 

CT, I gave up on Outlander a few seasons ago as it seemed to me it was going into soap opera land. Hope you enjoy the book as it really fills in the gap between the early Middle Ages and Medieval age or to quote The Dude, it kinda ties the room together.
Look forward to the thread unless someone else starts it earlier.

 

I have a book I'd like to trade for this one, It's largely pictures, so a quick read. It's called ( from memory, so . ..at least close) "The bicycle in War" and it's well the title pretty much says it. If you are interested we could do a hand off at the Men's Club tomorrow 'cause Wednesday I start another round and will be incognito or something for a while.

 

CT, could I have rain check on that? I have a doc appointment in the AM and a meeting in the PM that will probably last close to three brain draining hours. I am just plain exhausted after that.

That said, I am interested in your book (I always return personally loaned books) and I have another that the SO is finished called Remember Me. It’s the story of a Dutch city that took on the task of creating a cemetery for American soldiers who died in a battle in the area and then every family adopting a grave to care of in perpetuity. These soldiers were the ones not returned to the US because families believed they wanted to be buried with their buddies. Actually it is quite a moving book on a story I was not familiar with. Worth the read.
I hope your chemo goes well as I need a person who has a deep love of history and a reader to share with.

Rainchecks are fine, I was just trying to find something easy for you to repay your suggestion, which I plan to pick-up tomorrow. Actually, later today.
