    I need a small can I can have on my bike. Notwithstanding this particular critter, my bigger concern is what I might run into on the trail.

    I have questions…. Why is this man such an idiot? Where in the passport does it even say that? This link shows some photos, and I don’t see it. Am I missing it? https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/welcome-but-be-good-trump-shares-new-us-passport-rendering-president-of-the-united-states-250-250th-anniversary-celebration-commemorative-design-america-traveling-flying-fourth-of-july-4-independence-day-president-donald-trump

    @RealPlayer said: hard as heck hammers, harsh tone Yeah, that’s not good. Do you have a timeline for this purchase? @Bernard said: @RealPlayer That's fine... as long as 6 feet ... isn't followed by ... under! P.S. piano drift is the best kind of thread drift.

    Since I started making my own, I'm just not interested in store bought. Very difficult to find good store-bought that doesn't break the bank and isn't full of fillers, or air, or excess sweetness. On the other hand I still have a soft spot for soft-serve, a real summer treat. Vanilla. That's what I think ice cream should be. If I want to add the flavor of chocolate: chocolate sauce. Butterscotch? Butterscotch sauce. Strawberry? Strawberries. I don't like cookie pieces or dough in my ice cream and if I did I'd sprinkle cookie chips. I guess when it comes to certain foods, I like mine basic. It's easy enough to jeuje it up at serving time. Not that I'd ever pass up ice cream, no matter what!

    They see it (randomly we're told), it's not their land, and it's a nature reserve, so they decide to claim it like Old World conquerers, and do God knows what with it.

    On the A1 close to Stamford this morning, I drove between two lavender fields in full purple bloom. Quite lovely.

    We were going to be in Copenhagen until Tuesday. Maybe it is just as well that Bob was ill.

    Also the plates (and cutlery) used. Pewter was for the landed gentry and proudly listed in Wills if they had any! Silver (& gold?) for royalty. Most folk used crockery of some form, or a wooden trencher.

    Noticed something was amiss when I turned into the apartment complex in my student days. Did not realize what was missing until I turned on the evening news. The house on the corner was gone due to a gas leak. No one was home.
