Well, speaking of movies.
I watched The Elite Killer
Filmed in 1975
-A young James Caan
-Robert Duvall
-Arthur Hill
-Burt Young
All set in San Francisco.
Great scenery and a fairly predictable plot but good entertainment.
That movie Flight sounds interesting. I’m going to see if it is on Amazon tomorrow.

I hope her a$$ got beaten so badly she won’t be able to sit down for a month.
And I hope her shame is enough that her Jan 6th “presentations” are muted. But I doubt it. She hates Trump with a seething hate, and this only add fuel to her fire. And her CNN spot gets more firmly determined.

MHarper at least you prepare something to eat at home. When I was a boy, my cousin’s grandma clipped coupons for fast food joints. She and grandpa would go eat lunch out and bring the leftovers home for dinner… 7 days a week.

My high school French teacher said I had the best French “r” he’d ever heard. I was at a friend’s house, who had a friend from Mexico visiting her. I read a local menu out loud, and he asked me how long I lived in Mexico.
Why do you need to hire her or anybody else currently ? It was rhetorical. I’m hoping I’m past having OH. But it seems that Hubby’s “employer” has a friend who needs a sewer separation for his property that is being sold. I am NOT running those permits!

All this talk about supper is making me hope I’ve got some delicious leftovers that will pair well to fill a plate and get heated up. Unfortunately, I napped too long and didn’t go into production of salads, so I’ll have to skip that.
Tedtam, we had brats and beans because I put up 7 quarts of them today – we had the leftovers (well, these brats had only been seared so they needed a little more skillet time)
I promise, when I laid my head down on the couch it was just for ten minutes! I wasn’t even planning on falling asleep. I guess staying up late with my friend and all the time out in the sun got to me….now I have to cook dinner. Nothing fancy for us. Warmed up leftover chicken and a salad. … Read more »
Among U.S. states, Texas is unusual in its practice of referring to county executives as “judges.” Arkansas is the only other U.S. state to do so, and Kentucky uses “judge-executive,” though the latter have been stripped of their judicial powers. Other states use titles like “county executive” or “county manager.”

Favorite comment at CFP:
“And this little piggy went home.”
I did a quick glance around the web. Landed at a Allahpundit article. It’s a win for Liz, cause Trump.
I hope her a$$ got beaten so badly she won’t be able to sit down for a month.
And I hope her shame is enough that her Jan 6th “presentations” are muted. But I doubt it. She hates Trump with a seething hate, and this only add fuel to her fire. And her CNN spot gets more firmly determined.

Those pork tenderloin medallions are so great. But I gave up on them some time ago.
I’m in the middle of a ten year broccoli fast. Subject to a ten year extension.
So I buy the whole pork tenderloin and use a different vegetable.
The FDA has determined cooked broccoli aroma kills roaches and is hazardous to all mammals.
Super Dave is the only one that hasn’t chimed in.
He is probably still crafting his masterpiece?
All I know if I was in his household I would go 300lbs or more on any given day, and be happy!
