What kind of uncuth swine puts mint in bourbon.
Me. 10 minutes to post, I grabbed some mint from the patio, added crushed ice, Woodford, and simple syrup. We enjoyed sipping the official drink while watching a heckuva race.

That was a good race. First and second place horses came from waaaay back, ridden by brothers to boot.
I used to be a big fan of Slacker Radio (competitor of Pandora). Then I got Spotify Premium and forgot about it.
Looked up Slacker today and saw it went away via a name change/merger several years ago.

Saving Country Music reported yesterday that ticket sales were low for the whole Malone/Jelly Tour. Up to 75% empty seats in some big places. He’s sold out similar venues in recent years, but there’s no new album to draw repeat attendees. Other factors speculated on. LINK

Search for Samantha Brown Places to Love Route 66 episodes. She covered it from Chicago to the Pacific over several episodes in recent seasons.
At least some of the episodes are on YouTube. All are on the PBS Passport app.

get your facts straight. No housing development in the way of 3132. It connects with 220 loop. You prob talking about where I49 ends.
No. I'm talking about the southern terminus of 3132 at Esplanade Subdivision that is in the way of completing it to the Port.
MPC to vote on subdivision that could halt 3132
quote:LINK
Ultimately, the city council agreed to the application with the modifications.
Before the vote was cast, members of the pubic were able to speak their mind.
“Someday, people will be driving around and they'll take a left off of Flournoy Lucas, and they'll say, 'Daddy, how come we always do this?'” said one resident. “And they'll say, 'Well they just couldn't decide to build 3132 years ago and now there's houses there so we can't do it son.'”
They may still be able to squeeze in an extension to the Port. A private toll road developer is talking about it, but there is opposition to it ... from the folks who built in the path.
re: In what grade did you stop saying the pledge of allegiance every day?

My country public school had a bunch of Baptist teachers. We said the pledge daily, sang patriotic songs, and the teacher led us in prayer before lunch.
The teachers often told us how sad it was that the Russians "brainwashed" their children. I'm sure it never dawned on them that they were doing the exact same thing.

Our grandchildren will take that bridge to leave Louisiana
When I moved to Shreveport, I said that the highway/street system beat the hell out of other LA cities, but they needed to (1) complete the 3132 Loop and (2) replace the Jimmie Davis Bridge over the Red River.
Politicians screwed up the ability to finish 3132 by allowing a housing development in the path, and 3132 has also decayed to a horrific state of disrepair.
But after many fits and starts, and decades later, they have finally started replacing the JDB. It's coming along nicely, but the timing is so that I will probably make my first trip across it in a moving truck on my way out of state.

Some old folks in my neighborhood were finally carted away after decades of living in a decent house. Their family came in and gutted it.
I walked near a construction dumpster and barely kept from vomiting. It reeked of cat piss. Can't imagine what is was like to do the demo and renovation work. Also can't imagine getting that horrific smell out even by gutting it.

Andy Rooney did a bit on 60 Minutes where he went to gas stations, asked for exactly one gallon of gas (marked at say $1.89.9), handed them $1.90 and asked for his change. Bewilderment ensued.
That Christmas in Dixie song Ben was warbling is one of my favorites.

Almost all of the actors except for David Schwimmer were unknown, many of them british actors because they filmed a lot of it in England
Was watching Wolf Hall on PBS and couldn’t quite figure out how I knew the actor playing Henry VIII. He was Damian Lewis, a British actor who also played … Dick Winters on BOB. I couldn’t believe it. :lol:

What does "simmer 1 1/2 chopped ingredients" mean???
I think that was her way of writing "one half". Turn the number 1 to one, and it will make sense.
Your brain is trying to making it "one and a half" something because that is the style of modern recipes you have read in cookbooks, but you have to back off and read it literally.

No mention of her sister or anything, who was such a huge part of season 1.
The actress that played sister Gia has said she's not coming back, and Rue said Gia is going to school in Arizona. In the wedding episode, I think Rue also said in narration that Gia won't return her calls. Sounds like the character has been written out.
We got a phone call from Fez in prison, so the character lives on, but I suspect references to him will dwindle. Somebody let Fez know not to talk about his escape plan on the prison phone lines; they are recorded.
