Well, not really, but it is handy if you're invaded by Austria.

Mostly just their lips. Well, and a little hemophilia...There’s still a few Habsburgs around, so you’re good
There was a young (30 something) Habsburg princess that lived here. She passed unexpectedly last spring.Mostly just their lips. Well, and a little hemophilia...
One of the AKs I carried I took out of the back of a burnt out Meatball (GI-speak for MTLB, a Soviet tracked vehicle).Well, you can dig a foxhole with an AK, if the necessity arises, and it'll still function as a rifle. Seriously, what explains this kind of incompetence?
Little-known fact, Luxembourg came in second in the ":How fast did the Nazis overrun your country?" sweepstakes. The Danes beat them out. Denmark surrendered after 45 minutes. The Luxembourgers held out all day.There was a young (30 something) Habsburg princess that lived here. She passed unexpectedly last spring.
ETA - I think her lineage passed through Luxembourg
My wife was planning on going to a 2 or 3 week art workshop this year near Lyon. I was going to go and be a tourist, and had Luxembourg on my planned loop.Little-known fact, Luxembourg came in second in the ":How fast did the Nazis overrun your country?" sweepstakes.

That is a really nice country. I like Luxembourg a lot. They are like Germans, but less uptight. Relaxed as the French, but they don't throw trash on the ground.
The capital is a beautiful city, not as big and trashy as Paris, but big enough that there is stuff to do there.My wife was planning on going to a 2 or 3 week art workshop this year near Lyon. I was going to go and be a tourist, and had Luxembourg on my planned loop.
I "was" going to France to visit my daughter last fall. Lyon is about 2.5 hours west from my daughter's house...My wife was planning on going to a 2 or 3 week art workshop this year near Lyon. I was going to go and be a tourist, and had Luxembourg on my planned loop.
Can you not get into Brussels at all now? No kind of exemption?The capital is a beautiful city, not as big and trashy as Paris, but big enough that there is stuff to do there.
Patton is buried in the U.S. military cemetery outside Luxembourg City.
Diekirch is also nice (although I got a speeding ticket there).
I think maybe I could if I were to spend two weeks in quarantine, including having someone to fetch food and sundries. Nobody is paying my hotel bill in such a case, however.Can you not get into Brussels at all now? No kind of exemption?
There's no doubt there's some of that going on. I didn't know how much of what you do which can be done from home. Too long and OT for here, but I'll PM you about a neighbor of my daughter deciding to have a survey done. If my daughter and hubby object, they have to go to court. All the damned houses are built on top of each other, anyway...I think maybe I could if I were to spend two weeks in quarantine, including having someone to fetch food and sundries.

The irony is that people from Rwanda can travel to the EU. I think, (exaggeration here) that Rwanda ran 20 Covid tests, and only had 10 positives, so the EU said, "Rwanda has only 10 positives. Let them in." I think the EU just wants to tweak the nose of the U.S. a bit.
Croatia in August would let Americans in as long as they have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of presenting themselves at immigration in Croatia. Not sure that policy install in place.
I'm working at home. This too shall pass.
Still a long way away, though.Looking at poll averages as of today...
-Wisconsin and Minnesota are safe states for Biden
- Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona are near safe states for Biden
- Florida and North Carolina are going to be fights.
the thing with trump is, does he improve things when he spends time in places?Still a long way away, though.
The key thing is that if Trump has to spend time in FL and NC that's time he can't spend in MI and PA.
TBH, I'd love for Arizona - McCain's state, Goldwater's state - to be the reason he loses. The state has been virtually a one-party state for the last 50 years or so, and Trump is the one blowing it.
I know that he is losing badly in AZ in the polls, but I really find it hard to believe they will go Democrat.Still a long way away, though.

Fair point. This is not a conventional pol.the thing with trump is, does he improve things when he spends time in places?
