How soon or long before people/countries start boycotting the USA because of the morons in DC? The World Cup 2026 and The Olympics 2028 are in the US.

There is a FIFA CLUB Word Cup in the US this summer (a recent competition that brings top global football clubs together). TIckets are not sold out, I saw the official ticket prices for matches in LA were lowered to about $30 because there are so few takers for teams from Latin America. Mexico is so close and no one from there wants to travel up even to see Mexican clubs compete on a world stage (and Mexican nationals and Mexican Americans living in Cali might be scared to attend as well).

Today was an adventure in urban living for me.

So last night I'm watching this really good Chinese drama and the red flag male lead was about to try once again to kill the female lead and all the lights went out. Flipped the circuit breakers and nada. No one on the night shift had a clue. And it was only my building. And not the whole building.
So spending a night and a day feeling as if someone was hitting me in the face with a wet mop - I don't handle heat and humidity well - 16 hours later power was restored by some jury rigged method I hope holds until the permanent fix is in place.

Ya gotta stay on your toes when living in the city. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Uhm... in the country, you could have gone out and watch the sky
Best of luck with the heat.

I understand and I've done that when I used to visit Haiti on a regular basis. As a born and bred NY'er seeing the night sky in all it's glory was simply amazing and I'll never forget that.

But I like being in the city.

My power was also out last night - only for a couple of hours - hydro pole fire. The building 30 feet away had power, but I was sitting in the dark waiting for the lights to come back.

I should mention that the Chinese drama I'm watching is a satire of Chinese drama's and is absolutely hilarious.

sad, because the sheer quality of the football would be better even than the World Cup... the WC teams are a motley crew, who never play together - the clubs are finely honed machines..my son says the world champions would have no chance against Real Madrid or even Arsenal..!
