KamnanT Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 RIP to Herr Eberhart and condolences to his family. 78 and still swimming in the morning: not a bad innings. I hope I manage to do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take into consideration that not only most Thais can’t swim due to their constant attention to FB and other BS like that ???? They would need extensive training away from their phones before drawing themselves ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
