Pickles by Brian Crane for June 09, 2022

That would be the companion book “A thousand places to see in 90 days.”

Is it about a private forest with 1000 trees.

“Old” isn’t a state of mind so much as it’s a state of joints.

What are some places around the world which on your bucket lists, Pickles readers? I’d like to go to Samoa (American or Western), Japan, Argentina, and Denmark.

Does this come with a guarantee or something like it?

As opposed to 1000 places to go after you die??

I doubt that Grandpa has the money to go further than McDonald’s.

Enjoy yourself Earl, it’s later than you think!

Why go anywhere, we’re just gonna end up back here.

Why does adding Before You Die to a title sell more books?

Sometimes me thinks it should be called a Bragging List instead of a Bucket List ;-)

1,000 places? Who has time for that?

Decided not to wait until Father’s Day, Sylvia?

Don’t give him any ideas, least he gets a reverse mortgage on the house and spends her inheritance on travel.

I already did things in my bucket list!

Had my own business over 30 years!

Went to France

Went to England

Rode the Chunnel under the English Channel

Went to the Eiffel Tower..1/2 way up

I’m sooo done!

I’m going to “Puerto Backyarda”.

We’re ALL gonna die Earl…….. some sooner than others.

I’d like to finish seeing our 50 states – got 5 to go. If I were ever lucky enough to travel internationally, I’ve always wanted to see Greece and Scotland/Ireland. I think those days have passed though.

I was given a similar book recently; 100 Books You Should Read Before You Die. Skimming the contents, I discovered that I had, in fact, read ninety-six of the the listed titles. I’d tried to read two others that were listed, and given up in bored despair. And there were two of which I just say “No, I don’t think so,” only because I’ve seen the movies.

The whole idea of foreign travel as a bucket list is bizarre. If you want to go live somewhere else, work there and contribute to that community, that’s a wonderful idea. However, jaunting around while your own community disintegrates and at great environmental cost just does not seem to be a worthy aspiration.

Gonna be awhile before you go Earl, seeing those 1000 places will take some time.

“Werll, Dad, if I were Mom, I’d say ‘plenty’.”

Did live in the tropics for awhile and swan with some friendly jellyfish, but at my time of life, I’m so lazy that I would rather watch travel documentaries then go to the trouble and expense of actual travel.

Well….do you?

When someone asked me, “How are you?”, I usually reply, “Fine. Why, what have you heard?”

Yes, she’s also into Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring.

“…..so you better get a move on!!”

Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland and Spain.

1000 places? She thinks you shave lots of time Earl.

I wouldn’t mind going back to Italy for a while, despite I’ve traveled the world several times.

Another repeat from 2008. Is Brian Crane ill?

Australia, New Zealand

I’ve been to 12 of the 50 states, I’d love to visit the rest, after that would be Mexico, Italy, and Georgia (the country)

If Earl & Opal start to travel, where will Sylvia and Dan park Nelson ?

At least she didn’t buy you 10 places to go before you die.
