Let me be the first to say it --- Happy New Year! I pray that 2025 is better than 2024! It seems many of my friends have had similar opinions of 2024...
Not from Texas huh? Chilli is not a bean dish
I think there have been holy wars fought over that question. Doesn't mater to me, it still look good! top with a little cheddar and some sour cream...and I think you're on to something.
Card night - whats the game? I'm more of a dominos person. My wife's family all love it -- we've gotten a little crazy buying sets. I think I'm ready to start trying to understand cribbage. From what I"m told its a 'way of life' game on submarines, and I assume surface vessels as well. Since CI has such a nautical theme...
I actually didn't think that Bald Eagles would go after carrion, but I learned something today --- its important part of their diets. Suddenly, they aren't quite as majestic. This is the ongoing year of 2024 and the "never try to meet your heroes" lesson.
I'm glad Turkeys didn't make the cut - it would be strange that if every autumn there would be a mass consumption of your national bird. Though, he did say "wild" not farm raised. That begs the questionthen about the whole question of a National drink
Oh -- that would have been applejack. Which I want to try!!! Which is good, I really don't care for wild turkey.
A friend was telling me that Johnny Appleseed (buried in Ft. Wayne, Indiana) was actually not starting orchards. He was more interested in making certain alcoholic beverages from the apples. Apparently booze was closer to his intended product than planting apple trees. Suddenly, walking barefoot and wearing a pot on his head makes sense.
