Yes, a huge, diverse state to be sure!
Glad I live in Pennsylvania, where the geography is easy: Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and Alabama in between.
Eastern Oregon belongs in Idaho, IMO! JK, but serious in the sense itās a whole different world! On a recent road trip through Eastern Oregon, I couldnāt find any cannabis shops, even exiting at college towns, driving the strip, etc. also looking on line. I was also looking forward to buying some mushrooms at one of these hypothetical shops that either didnāt exist or was carefully off the beaten track. Frustrating, but realized we were in extremely conservative towns.
The bay area is central California.
I know!! I wasnāt being serious John, and I hope you arenāt offended! Iām fortunate to have traveled and lived in California. Iāve seen A Lot of the state, even remote areas, and what a big, gorgeoues, state it truly is.
Im joking here . No worries.
Iām back to waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Sunshineās old car had a check engine light come on, I quick scan showed a misfire code. After some head scratching and swapping of parts, I determined one of the new spark plugs I had put in last year, failed. It was a cheap and easy fix (once I figured it out).
Then my modem/router failed without warning. Not a big deal if it had happened during normal business hours, but it happened in the eveningā¦ so no āROKUā for our evening entertainment. We re-watched a movie on DVD.
Luckily, I keep a spare modem/router in stock and just had to have my ISP record the āMACā identification number. A few wires, a little configuring of the wifi password & we were back to normal.
Iām still convinced these things happen in āthreesā, so bring on the next challenge.
Thx for almost making me spit my coffee all over the keyboard
BerserkerDay 15.
On my recent trip to 2 SE Asian countries, I saw a package of a pre-sweetened instant coffee with non-dairy creamer in it as well. It also had a big āno sugarā announcement on it as well. It piqued my interest as I use artificial sweetener in my morning coffee, so I looked at the ingredients to find out that one of the first ingredients listed was āglucose syrupā.
Youād think that after living in Asia on and off for about 20 years that such misleading statements on labels would cease to surprise me, but it hasnāt. The same thing goes on here in Japan where various types of vegetable-based cooking oils are labeled āno cholesterolā and laws state that if a processed food has grains or other ingredients like wheat or corn and those ingredients are 5% or less the label can say ānon-GMOā.
Consumer education in various parts of the world is severely lacking and that worries me. So I pay pretty good attention to whatās listed and how itās listed on labeling.
Those commercials are never-ending. I vote for disliking both commercials.
First rule of Fight Club: you donāt talk about fight club
A friend of ours has two tickets for the 2024 Super Bowlā:football: in Las Vegas, 50 yard line box seats. He paid $9,500 each, but he didnāt realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place. Itās at St. Theresaās Church at 3 p.m.The brideās name is Jenny. Sheās 5ā5", about 115 lbs, good cook too. Sheāll be the one in the white dress!
Oh. My. Gosh. HOs! Iām speechlessā¦my profile page here just hit 1,200 views!
Why, I just feel like Gwyneth Paltrow winning her first Oscar
Shucks. Thanks so much for stopping by
You are welcome. I looked at your profile page yesterday so maybe Iām the one that got you to the 1200. I canāt remember why. I think I was looking for a post of some sort. Is that you in the linked video? Iām impressed!
I had to check which video youāre referring to - thank you, yes it is
I honestly wish my web admin would add something more recent : unfortunately heās all but given up on the site (plus most folks just use Book of Faces to keep up with our show schedule).
Hereās a more recent recording if you are interested.
Thank you for this. Iām currently enjoying it. It is a rainy day, we just finished brunch. Iām tempted to pour myself a glass of Brandy. Ha! Bob Dylan. One of my husbandās favorites. He is singing along.
