My understanding is you can still order a short it’s just not on the menu. I haven’t tested that in about 15 years, but that was well after they introduced the venti and took the short off the menu. Once I ordered a grande and the woman didn’t hear me well and said ‘venti?’ I said ‘no, sedici’. No one but me laughed.

Interesting. I didn't realize the Seminoles were in Oklahoma too. Must have been trail of tears origin. I only recently found out that the Seminole nation owns Hard Rock Cafe.

@Bernard I had already changed my options to not having people use my pictures for remixing. But my stuff is definitely shareable, so dyers/knitters can repost them. That’s biz!

Are they practicing for Trump's demise? Shenanigans to hold onto power.

@wtg thank you!

Blueberries, raspberries, and the yellow plums are now ripe in a friend’s yard. There will be JAM.

Zucchini pancakes today for lunch. Very nummy. Hopefully you can see the recipe in the pic: [image: 20260710-201902.jpg]

Another Vermont bread maker. Just north of Burlington. Wish I'd known when I went over to Burlington last fall, I might have looked for a loaf... which was probably sold out. Just amazing ... Link to video

They are the villain in the right to repair battle. Repairs being controlled mean those that grow the food would face higher costs. Timing is very important when growing and harvesting crops. A breakdown during crucial time and a wait for the dealer to repair would be disastrous.

Was raised in New Madrid County, Missouri. 200+ small quakes a year are measured there. I only felt the one that was a 3.2. The earthquake of 1811 was centered there. It rang church bells in Boston and made the Mississippi River run backwards.

The disability stuff is probably unfair. Unlike SSDI the fact that he can farm oysters doesn’t make him ineligible for VA disability. But the ‘prolier than thou’ stuff was always a ruse. He was an upper middle class kid who went to a very fancy private school until he got kicked out. His father bought his house for him. He told friendly press that he only makes about 5k a year farming oysters and his mom’s restaurant is his only business. He makes almost 5k a month on disability.

I'd say so. Might try it.

Yes, but they've closed the drapes so you can't see the havoc they wrought while you were out.

No matter how badly your day goes, just remind yourself that you’re not a Paris cop on night shift tonight. [image: 1783595132056-img_3190.png]

@AdagioM Sorry, I run into this problem all the time. File too large. I’ll try again tomorrow.
