Man, am I sore today. day two of my 'revival' project is a really good lesson on why one should maintain condition rather than have to get it back.

Anyone watching the news as regards the Afghanistan debacle? What a disgrace. The scenes of people trying to hang onto huge airplanes in a bid to get out of the country, and possibly harms way was really scary..... and my heart really went out to them. The youngsters on the runway with their modern clothes and cell phones .... for them things are going to change.. and I am sure they will not find it is for the better
Some different perspectives ....

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
It's a dramatic image showing just how desperate many in Afghanistan are to flee the country.
Hundreds of Afghans managed to get onto the half-open ramp of the US Air Force C-17 aircraft on Sunday as it left Kabul for Qatar, just hours after the Taliban took over the capital.
Instead of forcing them off, the crew decided to take off, according to US defence news website Defense One. Some 640 people were onboard the aircraft - among the largest numbers ever flown in a C-17.
Images on Monday showed people running to planes as they left the tarmac. The US army says soldiers shot two armed men, and others are reported to have died after falling from the underside of a plane they were clinging to shortly after take-off.
