We’ve been talking about cross country trains for YEARS. Yes other countries do it, but those countries are the size of states here.

So, a ceramic blade and a plastic housing eh? No metal I assume?

I can’t recall the last time I measured salt.

Mrs. Brekke sounds very pedantic and no fun at all.

Butter works just fine for a brown roux. You just have to trade off temperature for stirring time. And, like for many sauces, stirring means constant stirring. Not a single second stopping to greet someone, nor get a glass of water, even if pulling it off the heat. Stay the course until it’s perfectly done, touching…

Now you have few dozen 400lb feral hogs snoozing on your tranq? What now?

It’s not about defending yourself from hogs. They’re an invasive species that destroys crops and native habitats. It’s a huge economic burden. Hunting hogs in Texas is about removing them from the population.

These land owners are tranq’ing the hogs. Why would they do that, just to dump them somewhere else and make them someone else’s problem?

If you owned land in Texas or Arkansas and had a feral pig problem, you would need something a little more than a little .22 to take a hoard like this down.

I went on the worst date ever with a complete weirdo and thought “Nope. No more.” A couple weeks later I’m in bed with strep throat and high on cold medicine

Away from trailer parks?

It was built in the’60's, so it’s probably not strong enough for today’s nuclear arsenal.

We lived less than 200 miles from Washington DC. Chances of any of us suriving to get to the end of the block were just about zero.

I grew up during the entire span of the Cold War.

If a nuclear bomb ever goes off just about anywhere in the United States, the whole country is screwed. The immediate location will get the worst, but the winds will scatter the fallout across the rest of the country, too.
