They are working on one outside of Madison WI also. 

ok. I can go on with other stupidity around smoking not just parental issues. 

Smoking and thinking are often at odds. I was an asthmatic child and both parents smoked 2 packs a day and did not care I was in the hospital 6/year for my asthma and once I moved out no asthma problems. Smokers do not care. 

Not sure. I get that there is something easier about creating 24-30 episodes of great tv vs the old days of 13-21 episodes. I would bet it is more about profits for studios and streaming platforms and not having to pay actors and writers than creating great art. It is not like all the full sept-may full season tv…

I find repair bills harder to plan for than regular monthly payment. Like can everyone afford a $5000-10000 major repair bill for their daily driver to get to work tomorrow if they get unlucky in buying a used car? 

yes sorry typo!

And, sadly, there will be lots of it around and on election day 2024.

I almost posted St. Paul and picked Minneapolis as it was a larger better known city. I remember watching the last of the scrap metal barges being loaded up right before they closed lock and dam #1 there next to downtown. 

more anti-union domestic terrorism?  

Buc-ee’s when you need a wall of beef jerky, a propane deep frier and succeed from the union swag with your gas.

Great tv these days; 3 seasons of 8-10 episodes then gone. It is more like the miniseries of old. 

“dry and kind of flavorless” yep that is it. There is not flavor in the body ust the topping.

My kid loves these I think they are not good at all. and I eat doughnuts like homer simpson, more like a duck as pigs tend to chew. 

Joke: How well does the plastic cladding handle the rock garden at the off road park? 

I will miss this fantastic show!

I know what part is navigable that is why I started it Minneapolis. The article is about commercial shipping. I live 2 miles from the river.
