[Vision2020] Best places near Moscow, ID

Sat Aug 25 12:47:19 PDT 2012

I'm already well aware of the script Donovan since it's played out many times before.  1) Tom misbehaves, 2) Tom is told by some insensitive outsider that his misbehavior is not only unacceptable but that it makes him look appallingly immature, 3) Tom's friends try to manage around his bad behavior by saying 'oh just ignore that' because when you look over here, squint, and tilt your head to just the right angle, you'll see his 'good qualities', 4) Tom's friends try to patch up Tom's hurt feelings because he's a sensitive guy who can't take what he dishes out.

Got it!

I do not always get along or agree with Tom Hansen. But I for one am glad Moscow has him, because we need him. And anyone that he calls a friend is a very lucky to have such a person for a friend. Some people can point out some negative things about Tom like you can with anyone. However, Tom has far more positive qualities in him that vastly outweigh those small characteristics some would classify as negative.

Thank you very much, Rose.  Rodna and I appreciate and enjoy your friendship.  It is one of the chief reasons we call Moscow home.  Thanks again, friend.

I am not going to respond to Mr. Dredge, although I am tempted.  I have learned, through trial and error here on the Viz, it is best, when things irritate you, to simply turn your back and walk away.  I am not saying that I haven't stuck my foot in my mouth on occasion once or twice or 3,458 times.  I'm jus' sayin' that I have learned, right here on the Viz, a very valuable lesson in tact.

Ah, yes, "tact" . . . the mind's ability to overcome the heart's desire to choke the living sh*t out of some idiot who so righteously deserves it.

Seeya on the rebound, Moscow.

And it's a good thing that most everyone can clearly see that Tom Hansen is monumentally immature, realizes that he'll never change since you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and most everyone just takes it all in stride. :)  Kudos to Gary!

Excellent points, Rose! I think 99% of the people that post on the Viz are great people that really care about Moscow and other people. Their political beliefs usually are not an indicator of how they are as people. I have had some wonderful friends that were not anywhere near my political affiliations. It can be easy for a person that is passionate in their beliefs to overstep their civility when arguing a point they strongly believe. I think must not take it to heart when they make personal attacks, but accept that they are just strong believers in something.

I don’t think that anyone would imagine/describe as a wild eye defender of Gary.  I get it that he pokes for the sheer hell of it, and I don’t mind admitting that I’ve not above stunting myself on occasion (although I flatter myself that my causes are always righteous).  And, it is true that Gary and I (often I suspect for sheer cussedness on his side) battle on V2020.  Let’s face it, he does defend some mighty sorry jackasses.  That said, many years ago, when my granddaughter locked herself out of the home that she was taking care of for friends who were out of town, I knew that there was one person that could solve this problem for us.  Gary quickly responded to my call, and immediately sorted things out.  I was glad he was available,
 that he was professional, and that I could count on him.  And, in the long run, that’s a pretty fine thing to know about one of our V2020 peeps.

I think you've misjudged poor Mr.Hanson. I sure that his post is to indicate his amazement that the score isn't higher/ lower (which ever indicates a trend toward excellence) Thanks T, your high opinion of me means everything.

Continually striving to exceed (or at a minimum live up to) the lists low expectations,
