Finishing off my supply of Saint Arnold Summer Pils. Definitely one of the best one-off brews from Saint Arnold.

UPS also tore the heck out of my package delivered today (the inversion table they immediately recorded as "on wrong truck" yesterday). Won't be able to tell if it's damaged until I return from MEM.

However, many essential Government provided services can't reasonably function like private industry.

Where'd you order the inversion table from? -- I've been thinking of getting one, myself!:cool:

Yes, but the government does protect monopolies on some activities that aren't necessarily public goods ...

Perhaps it's the LDS crew of the JW posse. When it's too hot to go door to door they retreat to air conditioned call centers.
To date I have only had 100 of those miles post. At least I think they were from that promotion. They posted as "Global Points Exchange Deposits." Has anyone else received more than 100? I thought the first round of those was supposed to net 300 total. |

Yes ma'am. They sent out an "apologetic" letter to all the parents explaining why this was necessary. (Remember, it's a fancy boarding school in NJ - they make no pretenses about conforming to the real world!)

There was talk of a AUS area do, should this come about I make the following recommendations:
1. Make it multi day 2. Make one day a venture up to Dublin to tour the Dublin Dr Pepper 'factory' and have a sampling of the real stuff, not the HFCS junk. 3. Go a few miles out of dublin and visit Veldhuizen Cheese Shop and farm for a tour and tasing of the most excellent raw milk, perfection cheeses!

Not true, they recently spiced things up with a new 32 inch LCD TV and got rid of the terrible bartenders.

the best way to eat peaches is with some sugar, cinnamon, a flaky flaky crust and call it a pie or cobbler :D
I do like myself a good 'crisp' with oatmeal crust sometimes however!

Is this a Texas thing? For the past few days I've received these phone calls. They ask for myself or Mrs. photog72. When I answer in the affirmative, they respond by introducing themselves and then asking if I am a believer. I tell them I am Jewish and they're like :confused:. Apparently, all they want to do is say a prayer for you on the phone. Did not ask for any money.:confused: I listen and thank them for the prayer. It's the least I can do, even if I don't believe.
ETA: I've never received these calls living anywhere else.

I was getting hooked on Mad Men on my EK flight back from DXB. I must have watched most of the first season on that flight. :D

CO 1E, if I book that Acela ticket and wind up taking the flight, do I have to pay a cancellation penalty to Amtrak if I cancel before departure time? It certainly won't hurt to have a backup plan.

I have a Pinky and the Brain laptop case. Remember that one, Plus1? |

The weather for Friday looks ok but we all know that doesn't mean much when talking about EWR. I plan on checking the "today's operations" page on the site a few times an hour to see how things are running.
My ticket on the 7:00 CO flight is a refundable one and the 6:00 Acela would get me there by the skin of my teeth if it's right on time (still have to get over to EWR and then to off-site parking). Luckily, my gear (which would normally be in my truck) is at my guitarist's house and he'll be bringing it to the venue. Since I had to drive Ms. GadFly to the airport on Monday and she packs like she's going on a 6-month trip to no-laundry-land, I asked if he wouldn't mind helping me out. I guess since I drive him to all the shows (he lives 5 minutes from me), it's only fair. He says he'll unpack and set up my drums so all I'll have to do it tweak things a little.

I thought all the girls go wobbly-bonkers for Round Brilliant, and that's where the price premium gets made. It seemed to me that all other cuts were of lesser importance and commanded less of a market premium.
There must be something in the water. I think THREE of my friends have gotten engaged in the last two weeks, and the whole summer has been quite similar, and here y'all go with the great ring discussion. :) Took one of my best friends engagement ring scouting a couple years ago. It was fun...and yes, slightly trippy. :) |
