I have all these friends up here who go on cruises. I have no idea why they do this. The only thing to do is eat and drink. And you’re crammed in this gigantic can of sardines with thousands of weird strangers. They gave up trying to get HH and me to go with them.

How exciting. Cruises are legal again.
Somehow, being in close quarters with 2000 strangers instead of 4000 still holds no attraction for me.
The thing I wonder about is who the Dems are going to nominate in 2024. If they had any depth in their bench they wouldn’t have resorted to a corrupt, worn out, 77 year old dementia patient. The big down ballot blowouts the Republicans have mounted since the late 1990s (see 2010) have had a huge long term effect on… Read more »
I’ve had about all the suspense I can take for this election. The hardest one for me was in 2012. Romney could’ve won that one. He literally threw it away with his narcissism and stupidity. I just could not believe Americans would vote for another 4 years of failure and economic decline. In retrospect, it was probably for the best. … Read more »
I was reminiscing about the 2004 election today. After the 2000 fiasco all of the media maggots expected the walking Easter Island statue to win in a landslide. Instead, Bush handily won the electoral college and popular vote.
Hundreds, maybe thousands of cars and trucks in New York had a MAGA parade today from West Nyack on I-287 across the Hudson River over the Mario Cuomo Memorial Bridge. Video here. Congratulations on the parade, but I don’t approve of them blocking the bridge. It’s rude and there are people and truckers on that road trying to make a… Read more »
There are no coatings of any kind so there is nothing to scrape off or scratch. This is solid hard-anodized aluminum with the copper clad bottom. You really can’t beat it and it’s easier to clean than stainless steel.

We’ll see how it works out.
Not crazy about non-stick saucepans.
This one claims to be metal utensil safe.
$68.90
Sheesh.
This is what you really should buy if you can wait. It’s out of stock everywhere momentarily. I think it’s about $70.

I have several copper-bottom sauce pans that I’ve been lugging around for 50+ years. They were given to me when my mother-in-law died of a heart attack at an early age. I have used them, but not so much the last 10 years or so. I probably wouldn’t be able to give them away, now, because I didn’t keep the… Read more »

I believe that the beef industry has priced itself out of certain processed products.
They priced their chuck roast right out of my big pot of chili on Friday. I ended going with $3.99/lb ground beef instead of $9.99/lb roast.

Something I’ve noticed.
I believe that the beef industry has priced itself out of certain processed products.
At HEB, there are no frozen, pre-cooked, seasoned beef fajita products. Nor are there any seasoned, ready-to-cook beef fajita products.
Nor are there any chilled, cooked, ready-to-heat “pulled-beef” type products.
Well, I gained an hour when I got up this morning then I gained another hour this afternoon because I didn’t change the kitchen clock yet and I forgot the time change. Thought I was behind on my rib smokin. Have no fear I’ll figure out a way to get behind again.

#125 M42: There has to be some rules to this game:
1) Don’t get caught. You may claim your “prize” after 6 months.
2) If you take out an innocent, you get to be the target for snipers.
3) Don’t get caught. This needs to be repeated, just because.
4) No discussions about the game with anyone. See #1, 3.
I never can figure out what time it “really” is for at least a week after one of these clock changes. Fortunately, I’m retired so I don’t care what time it is. Seems to be my naptime, so later, y’all.

Your H‑E‑B has chuck roast for $2.79.
You can also get part of a brisket for less than $4 if you got time to cook it in a crock pot or something.
I found flatiron steak for $4.99/lb a couple weeks ago. Just as good in chili as chuck roast.
I saw a really nice $200 All Clad Waffle Iron yesterday, though.

Posted by a friend who is a cop.
There is a link in the first sentence with the words “create your own map”.
I tried it on my phone and Windows 10 computer and it works.
I don’t see a link. How can you get it to work if there is no link?
I’ll just say that Georgia, Iowa, Arizona, North Carolina, and Arizona Senate races are still looking scary.
I’m too lazy to try.
Can’t get it to work
