Maybe Islamabad will overpay for Trout.

Trout would take them over the top. And, we can rebuild.

I’ve had it for just over a year. You learn to deal with the issues, for example I had the humidifier set too high so I woke up because there was too much water condensation in the hose. Generally I average six plus hours of use per night

they kept the beachside one in TLV and also added one to Jerusalem

This is true. I remember when I joined AW back on the old site back in 2009 or 2010 this forum was pretty interesting, and had some wild characters. Most of those posters aren’t even on the site anymore.

I just got back from Israel a couple months ago, it was a nice time.    I recall how it was so agricultural in the 90s, they had just a couple fast food places (things you think of as a kid).  I wanted to bring my Muslim wife with me, but she wasnt too interested.  Maybe next time.  All the family was asking to see her,.
Jaffa is a really cool city in or next to Tel Aviv, seemed like an Arab country, except the bars open late and people walking on the street, mostly Arab but Israelis welcome.  
I cant spend a ton of time there because theres too much horn honking, people cutting into each other, "chutzpah" but the food is really really good.. so good.
I have a nice family, they dont seem to use the horn, except my super right wing cousin.  Dude loves Bibi and always defends him.   The rest of my family, much more laid back, quite liberal but nothing in the annoying "SJW avatar" kind of way here.   One was an F-16 pilot for a while, now a commercial airline pilot.   We had our first family meeting with all the young cousins from everywhere this summer.   There was drinking each time and I liked that.  Some of them left early to do a protest against Bibi on the last day.   The aforementioned pilot, and all his buddies stopped attending what was a routine military planning thing him and the rest of the Top Gun there had been doing, in protest.  
My gramps came from Iran, his whole family was found slaughtered by him, throats cut open when he came home one day, took others away with him to what was Palestine.  My dad was the youngest of 7 siblings, and while many of his siblings participated in conflicts, he was in the most wars, with some brutal stories that fall through the cracks, and Im sure theres more he doesnt tell me.   The day he got out of the service, some hippie driving on the wrong side of the road clipped him so hard, he had to spend 6 months in the hospital and after getting bad blood, another 6 months (hepatitis).   He was the only one who left for USA.  He disliked his country for being nice to the people that tried to kill him and anyone like him.   He has grown to be OK with the Egyptians, it seems but never the Palestinians.
Hes a big time Republican here, and really angry often about the Dems.  Hes quite mad that Israel let this happen.  My other right wing cousin is also mad that Israel wasnt able to protect its people.  My grandfather's last name, which is mine, is well known among Persians.  I really didnt want to move to Beverly Hills (not my speed) but the wife really wanted to, and my name seems to carry a lot of weight around here with the older people I run into.
My cousins, they are all scared, going to bomb shelters that they are all familiar with, or getting ready to enter with a rifle, nothing in between.  They are nice, soft people who always felt bad for Palestinians, had them as friends and neighbors.  My lez cousin dated a Lebanese gal for a while, smokeshow....  I dated a (also really pretty) Palestinian girl once or twice while I was there.  She was in Ramat-Gan, a cool place that was upper class.   I think her family often travels to Switzerland, they have some money.
 
I say all this because I see quite often how each side is so generalized like "the palestinians" or "the jews", and I dont see my family, my friends there, or myself really falling into one of those groups.   If anyone wants to say a prayer for my family its appreciated.  If instead you say one for the innocent people on the other side as well, thats cool also.  
 
Hard times over here for me, but of course more so for them

will a missile hit the US carrier?  what then
there is a massive amount of rockets to deplete Iron Dome, will there be something bigger behind it?
will cells now in the US, funded by Iran get to work?
If the US gets involved, and China goes for Taiwan, will we opt out of that one?
If Iran, Iraq and Syria agree to let the Taliban through, how will those tens of thousands of troops factor in?
 
lots of wildcards, maybe most wont happen but it just takes one

There's videos going around right now. Live streaming all these bloody corpses on the ground and there's a million like emojis, laughing face emojis, etc
How fucked up is that?

I'm just so happy to have a place like AW where I can go to and learn from all these Middle East experts. 

On October 9th (JST)
(YouTube) This Was Almost Bad News For Playoffs...
----------
On October 6th (Japan Standard Time), Bauer threw Live Batting Practice at Yokohama Stadium and joined the team practice for the playoff. The camera on the left rear in the first X(tweet) below was set up by himself for YouTube. He threw a total of 86 pitches to 6 players, and the fastest pitch was 93.8mph.
 

Thoughts?

Lets create the definitive list together here
 
Limes - lots of good stuff made with limes, yum - but their skittles?  least favorite....  Edge: Lowell
Orange - like their cousins above, oranges are good but orange candy?  not too popular Edge:  Fruit
Cherrys - who likes the pits, nobody - but the candy is the best flavor (arguably) among the others, Edge : Candy
Watermelon - oooooooo. this is a good one and a close race, but not too many watermelon candies and hard to beat the fruit, Edge: Fruit
Melon - both are gross, the last thing that gets ate in the fruit cup, its like the peanuts in a fancy nut mix... the elite stuff doesnt include this
Grape - is this the 2nd best flavor after cherry?  I think with Skittles they get ate second.  The fruit can go wrong in a lot of ways, soggy, seeds, etc Edge: Candy
Strawberry - kind of like the cherry, but harder to say
