Surely got to be somewhat tongue in cheek

I found a nice hard cover copy of Julia Child's "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom" 'Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking' at the thrift shop last week. It's a very useful little book.

We need to see more of glamorous Melania. Have you seen her recently? Mind you, there's a funny new bump on the Whitehouse lawn

@wtg Lovely Thank you

I love them in pots on the deck. So easy to step out and clip what I need.

I'm confused. We've had "densified wood" for over 40 years now.

@Bernard said in School bus drives off the road: Am I being ageist, or shouldn't there be an age limit for school bus drivers? I don't think you're being ageist. Aren't there stats about the age beyond which reflexes are slowed enough to be concerning? What age do most states require drivers to do actually driving tests, 70? Should that be the cut off for commercial drivers maybe? Or am I missing something?

It sure is @mark bait!!
