It was a great episode. I think you are partly correct that for Trump, any attention keeps his flame alive. Though I do wonder if, in this instance, even he understands that railing against the episode will only give it more oxygen. And I hate to be that guy, but "Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" was 1999. I remember because I went to see "The Blair Witch Project," but it was sold out, so wandered into the South Park movie. I left with sore sides and my mouth agape. And singing "Uncle F__ker."

Jim, thanks for reading. You are 100% correct that I messes up the date on "Bigger, Longer..." I'll post a correction at the top of next issue and credit you.

Back in 1999, Kathi and I saw "Bigger, Longer" AND "American Pie" (the first one) in a glorious double feature... the type of thing that can only happen when one does not have kids in the house.

It was a damn funny south park. I'm sure it got under the skin of the most thin skinned man in the world. It's also probably one of the reasons (along with trying to dodge/ distract from Epstein) that he fled to Scotland, where he was greeted by even bigger mockery and derision! Ha!

BTW, My wife and I have been to David Hill and it a fabulous place. I hope you've managed to take in the rest of a wine region. It's perfect weather right now.

E.R., thanks for reading. Are you in Portland? We live in L.O., and get to Willamette wine country several times a year. There is an inexhaustible supply of wineries there... favorites include Ayoub, Sequitur, and (for the setting alone but the wines are good, too) The Four Graces. You?

Hi Brad, I'm in Vancouver WA now for the last few years but we travel to wine region plus visit the various parks in Oregon and on the coast. My fav wineries are Artist Block, Sokol, and Stoller (for the settings also) but we're always on the look out for those unique places set back in the hills. Like you said, too many to choose from.
