Is that in Telluride?  I figured it was even before I googled for Azadi.

Yes, The Telluride Film Festival, last September.

I don't recognize the guy sitting down, though.

They both are sitting down, I think.

Are you two having a close encounter?  Someone here at work that I
showed the picture to, asked if the little guy was doing something
inappropriate with you.

I'm kinda of wondering where Thumper's hand is and why that guy looks a
little unsettled.

I noticed in a picture you posted not long ago that you were thinner
than I remembered, but this is amazing.  Way to go!

I don't remember seeing any pics of you as heavy as the before shot.
That's a lot of weight loss in a pretty short time.  Good to hear your
health is ok.  Had a friend that shed quite a few pounds without
really trying.  Seemed pretty good till he found out he is diabetic.

That's because it takes time - happening slowly and progressively.
Dust and grit gets in there and, trapped, gets rubbed back and forth
on the paint job, slowly dulling it.  Once you notice it, it will
already be too late.

 If the paint just dulled or lightly scratched, it can
probably be buffed back to as good as or better than new.

The problem is...  how long does it take (years?) before the average
person removes that bra and notices?

But the problem is still the same.  Why lay out cash to put something
on to protect the paint if all it does is damage the paint and not
even look good doing it?

 I suppose the theory is that the bra will protect the paint
from deep scratches that can't be buffed out. And probably
the folks who use them don't think they look all that bad.
I don't use 'em, myself. I just try to be careful about not
scratching the paint. My main point is that dulled paint
isn't ruined. It's impressive what polishing compounds and
some work can do for dull paint.

Impressive those compounds may be, but I wonder about how many times.
As I understand it, polishing to remove light scratches is a measure
of last resort because it removes paint/clearcoat in the process.  I
wouldn't want to do it more than once on the same area.

Not to worry, Paul, I am not physically sick. After years of trying and

I don't know about "sportier". But, Cat apparently digs insanity. And
insanity doesn't change with weight loss.

I wouldn't be with me for a day, if  I was a woman (or a man, if that was
the case). I'm too f.cking crazy.

If I was a dog or a cat it would be okay to be with me, as I worship my
guys.

There's just no accounting for taste.

LOL!

Cat kept complaing that I was going to have a stroke or something, because
of my weight. Now she's complaining that I'm going to dump her for a younger
woman. Yet, like a good dog, I am completely faithful to her.

I just can't win.
