The American couple murdered in an ISIS-claimed car attack in Tajikistan quit their office jobs last year and were in the midst of pursuing their lifelong dream of cycling around the world when they were killed.
Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, both 29 and living in Washington, DC, chronicled their adventures on a blog called “Simply Cycling” where they wrote that they’d decided to take on the globe on two wheels, “because life is short and the world is big and we want to make the most of our youth and good health before they’re gone.”

A division director at my former job, and her husband, retired to Paris and bought a “flat”, a lifelong dream of theirs, about 5 years ago. I often wonder if she’s still alive, and if so, how she’s liking Paris, now.
Strangely enough, they should have known that. The left constantly reminds us what a horrible country this is, and how the rest of the world hates us.

wonder how the parents feel now for such indulgence
looks like she had more testosterone then the boy did
MAGA!
MAGA!
