Someday, if I can, I’m gonna be a cotton pickin’ chicken checkin’ baggage chucker, just like my old man!

It should also be mentioned that milkweed is vital for monarch butterflies, as in the photo, the population of which is in steep decline, at least partly because there’s less milkweed around.

I feel like the last time Wendy’s changed their fries it was an improvement, but they’re still not great. (This article said more than 10 years ago and I checked, and sure enough, it was. I can’t believe it’s been that long!) I’ve found that Arby’s new-ish crinkle cut fries are pretty good usually. That gives Arby’s…

I’ll give it a try! The other day I was talking about sumac here, and that seems like might be good on that.

For a while I tried a Gerber that had pliers, but I ended up going back to the Micra, because I found I used the scissors a lot more than I realized and rarely used the pliers.

I confess I saw it at the theater. I like the musical myself! The movie was not a good version of it, though.

“The only way to stop a bad guy with cat ears...is to make them watch the movie Cats.”

Where am I supposed to carry the condoms!?!

Oh, absolutely intentional!

I’ve carried a Leatherman Micra in my pocket for probably 20 years, and it’s more massively useful than a towel. I use this thing multiple times every single day. I don’t know what I did back before I carried it. It’s, like, my fourth one, though. I’ve lost at least one each to security at airports and Six Flags when…

I was joking. It’s a line from the movie Be Cool.

But the Insight is the Cadillac of hybrids!

One to avoid is Bradford pear. The flowers on those smell absolutely horrible. My daughter pointed it out to me years ago, and now I can’t avoid noticing it every spring.

It helps maintain the cleanliness of the interior to use seat covers, floor mats, a steering wheel cover, etc. Although one of my cars I’m planning to keep until it falls apart (I’ve already driven it for 18 years), one of the first things I did when I bought it new was sew a good leather cover over the steering…

I think I’ve mentioned it here before, but although I’m in rural Illinois, my favorite breakfast has become similar to a Turkish breakfast, especially cheese and olives. Several years ago our oldest daughter lived overseas for 7 years, and once when we went to visit, a hotel we stayed at had an international breakfast…

Elmo? He is a Muppet according to the Sesame Street official site. http://www.sesamestreet.org/muppets

Interesting history! I certainly remember as a kid in the 70s hearing, “The green ones make you horny.”

What’s at the top of the plate? I can’t tell if it’s a biscuit of some kind, a scallop, or something else.

My GP doctor and his brother raise sheep, and they recently opened a restaurant selling gyros so they’d have more of a market for the meat. We’re in rural Illinois, so it’s not like there’s wide selection of Mediterranean places to choose from. It’s always nice when a new restaurant opens in a small town, and I love…

I did a lot of cleaning and dish washing, plus some standard burger prep type stuff when I worked fast food, so I didn’t have to deal with customers at all. The only asshole I had to deal with was the manager.
