    Joe- IMO, gotta go with Amoroso. Tom- thats about what it was when I rolled out of bed this morning, but around sunrise, it was down around 30°. Dave(LASM)- probably would have had to scraped the car for the Mrs this am, but she didn’t go in to work today. Last night, I “decided” to have an...

    Todd- How tall is this hill and what type of beans are we discussing? Limas, kidneys or just plain ole' string beans? Inquiring minds want to know. Willie- Stay safe with Ian heading your way. I'd say it was named from my uncle, but his name is not pronounced the British/Irish way, His name is...

    Willie- the nearest “fast chargers” are 1:15-20 south of us in Tomah(down by Ft McCoy) & the road to Tomah is a 30-mile cell service “dead zone”.

    Joe- this year, they added the third Wild Card team, which will likely come down to the wire between the Madres & the Brew Crew. Apparently, Tyler Anderson is currently on the paternity list. I told SWMBO, “someone either had a verrry Merry Christmas or an especially Happy New Year. He doesn’t...

    Chet- cute lil tyke. That diner is something that I need to add to my layout, since I originally hail from the Diner Capital Of The World. Todd(Libby)- I have balance issues, but walking on a 2x4, putting my socks & shoes(the way most people say that phrase would end with a lot of extra dirty...

    Todd- another expression I’ve heard(with regardless to LEOs, but also applies to 2A carriers): “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6”.

    Willie- on my phone, I have a separate playlist for train-themed songs. I have “Last Train To Clarksville”, People Get Ready(Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart cover), Orange Blossom Special(covered by the late Johnny Cash), City of New Orleans(Willie Nelson) & Wabadh Cannonball(Doc Watson). I will have to...

    Jaz- my understanding(correct me if I’m mistaken) about why Camilla was “accepted” & why Simpson was shunned had something to do with the fact that Wallis was not only a multi-divorcée, but also an American(with ties to Nazi Germany), which caused Edward to abdicate so that he could go through...

    Tom- thats kind of along the same lines of something that Angela said to me the other day. “I’ve gotta get on the state website & do a tax payment”. She doesn’t add sales tax to the price of her ornaments. We just absorb the 5.5% as a cost of doing business at locations that don’t charge us for...

    Very valid point that people that either exhaust their unemployment bennies or outright get denied(that happened to me when I moved to WI with the promise of a job transfer awaiting me, which vanished & I was denied UI, because NJ said that, since I didn’t have documentation of the transfer, it...
