Click Here for a 5 Minute Vacation

Submitted by George Washington on 07/08/2015 18:33 -0400

There is nothing even remotely helpful in this post regarding investing, finance, economics, or politics. This is merely a 5-minute SFW vacation for your eyes.

By way of background, the family and I recently traveled through France for 12 days. (If you want to know where any picture was taken, just ask in the comments section).

yes, unlike in the U.S., a large portion of the French at least have a beautiful setting to fall back into.

Very nice carved stone and stained glass windows. Lots of taxes and hard handed fudal politics paid for those, no doubt. I like the chemtrails too.

Thu, 07/09/2015 - 12:36 | 6290537 WTFUD

GW get back to work. A day is a long time in this mad mad mad mad world.

All the smug bitching about France on this blog is blown away by this kind of post. It truly is a beautiful country with great food, great scenery and attractive women. There is no French expression for "trailer trash skank".

The remains of France. You went. You saw. You delighted.

Thank you for showing the beautiful corpse of a once-Christian culture as it demographically and materially decomposes itself out of existence.

I love the scenery of France, and Europe in general, but it's darn hard not to notice the chemtrails lurking in the background.

Nice pictures but talk about taking bandwidth...

Ah... George Washington the Blogger. The pied piper of gullible dumbassii. Since when have any of your posts had any remote value in regards to investing??? Glad to see you back George. I was afraid you had died off like all those Exon Valdez oil spill cleanup workers... like me. What's the condition of the sea floor in the Gulf? Has it blown the fuck up yet? How'd you fund that French vacay? Profits from all the gold Gordon_Gekko was shilling?

Seriously, how does a dumbass like you come up with money? Cut/Paste skills pay that well?

Thu, 07/09/2015 - 10:15 | 6289815 WTFUD

Jealousy is a big disease Dim_Roachford.

Missed you GW and was concerned by your complete silence.

Next time you disappear can you just type in a comment say to WB7's threads twice a week.

When the Commander-In-Chief goes AWOL it's obvious the foot soldiers become restless.

Are those pics from Greece?

Best to you and the Family.

Thanks Jim_Dickford for alerting all of us to the fact that you are a complete idiot sheep boy.

Wow..., tough crowd here at ZH.

George- I find both funny and interesting that I talked about my buddy Shitgum suicide who got banned for something other than criticizing you but you also seemed to drop off at the same time. That was last night. And now here you are. Maybe Shitgum was right and that you are a bot. Oh and I got one quick down vote which is SOP for your critics.

Shitgum says hi btw

Very nice photo's George. Very nice indeed. It is unfortunate, however, that in many images the exposure is pretty far off. If this is not a result of converting them for use on the web, then I would suggest a better camera. It is a shame to expend the effort required to take images with such nice composition and subject matter, and have your camera's auto-exposure function do such a poor job.

George,

I fling an ample number of turdballs over your fence, but these pictures are genuinely moving.

It looks like you and the family had a wonderful trip.

Thank you for sharing.

Too funny..., and well played, Sir.

Well done GW! I hope you and your family enjoyed the needed break.

Thanks for the eye candy.

Missed your presence and glad you are back.

Amazing. Evidence of incredible human effort everywhere. Remember, very little or no machines to do the work of construction. The cumulative effort directed at a goal of building a vision shared by all. What a fascinating time it must have been to live in that era! Now all I see is resources plundered by those whose only goal is self-gratification. What a loss!

Yes, no question, France is a very beautiful country. It's just a shame about the French.

Chem trails.....everywhere!!!!!!!!

some beautiful pictures. youre quite the talent huh.

i lived in france for a couple years. truly a beautiful place and if you can manage to get out of paris, the people are extremely friendly.

anyway thanks for sharing, it's important to step back from the doom porn every once in a while, take a couple deep breaths, and remember how beautiful life can be. i think many here, myself included, are guilty of letting TPTB and their grand schemes overwhelm our personal lives.

And all of these statues, painting, stained glasses and all will be destroyed once the muslims will take over.. and with the French demographics, that will be within 2050.

Mr. Trump..., is that you?
