re: 9/11 is becoming Ancient History

We are as far away from 9/11 now as 9/11 was from Jimmy Carter winning president in 76


I was an elementary school kid when Carter won. 25 years before that was 1951.

In '51, Harry Truman was president, and the Korean War was underway.
That was certainly ancient history to us, as far as my class even knew of those events.

The Kennedy assassination was just 13 years before Carter, but it was a history topic to us who were either not born then or too young to remember it.

I had what I thought was an original idea for a prank duck to leave on Jeeps. Someone beat me to it.



Wife made a batch yesterday for the first time since last spring, and darn they were good. We'll eat on them all week.

RJM Hunting Australia is a popular YouTube channel. Dude night snipes foxes, pigs, rats, cats, hares, etc. He has some amazing gear and talks about it some at the beginning of some videos.

Yeah - it’s the D+ crew plus production


I tuned in to the Northwestern State v Texas A&M-Commerce game.

They have the Z- crew on that game.
Florida has a new law effective July 2026 that requires restaurants and other food service providers to provide prior notice of any general line-item operational charge included on a bill.

The law draws a distinction between “gratuity” and “operational charge.”

Gratuity” or “tip” means a sum presented by a customer as a gift or contribution in recognition of service performed, the payment and amount of which is at the discretion of the customer.

Operations charge means an automatic fee or charge, other than a government-imposed tax, that a customer is required to pay in addition to the cost of the food and beverage purchased. The term includes service charges, automatic gratuities, credit card surcharges, and delivery fees.

Prior notice means the fee must be on the menu, website or mobile application where food and beverage orders are placed, and it can't be buried in small font. The notice must appear in a font that is equal to or greater than the font used for menu item descriptions or the general provisions of the written contract.

Louisiana and other states should pass similar prior notice laws so that customers know before they order that such a fee will be imposed.

The weakness in the Florida law is that it does not create a private cause of action that would allow the customer to sue to enforce it. Good luck getting the state enforcement authorities to do anything about a violation.

Had the famous Farrah posted and this 1978 Cheryl Ladd life-size beauty.

The online cheese shop opened today, taking 2026 orders with earliest ship date Nov. 9.

I got the Maroon Gift Pack with a 1-pound Vallagret Wheel, a 1.5-pound Edam Ball, a 1-pound Cheddar Cheese block and a 8-ounce container of Jalapeno Spread.

$65 plus $21 shipping. Worth it. It keeps forever in the refrigerator. I've had a contained of the jalapeno cheese spread that I got in November, forgot about it, and didn't open until early the next summer. Expected to find fuzz growing in it, but it was good to go.

Order early. I delayed last year, and a couple things were sold out.

what is the merge you're talking about? how do i do this?


If you have YouTubeTV and your package includes ESPN, you can "merge" your ESPN account with it to get free ESPN Unlimited (tons of streaming games and shows that you used to have to go through the ESPN app for, or maybe had to pay extra for through ESPN+).

Google how to do the merge of ESPN and YouTubeTV. There are lots of articles. Mine was easily done, but some have issues and have to try different ways, so I hesitate to say something is "the way."

Here is one article with step by step. LINK

Or go to YouTube and search: how to merge youtubetv and espn unlimited. Many vids come up.

Check out Unity Park if you want to enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful park that will probably make you mad/jealous that the your town doesn't have anything nearly as nice.

The Commons is next door. Big building with food and retail shops. Tacos, beer, coffee, bike rentals, etc.

Greenville County Museum of Art. Free. Home to the world’s largest public collection of watercolors by iconic American artist Andrew Wyeth. A rich textile mill owner bought a ton of Wyeth paintings from a Hollywood mogul and put them in museum.

Visit the Grand Bohemian Lodge downtown on the Reedy River. Check out some of their art in the public areas, hang in the bar or restaurant, admire the view of the falls, do some people watching.
We always watched a lot of it. With just 3 channels, it was often the best choice.

Now I can’t think about it without hearing Chris Rock going off about the lack of progress and getting the kids a table dance.

l’ve been watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon… for probably about 15 or 20 years now. Not one stitch of progress whatsoever. Come on, man. Lie to me, Jerry! What the frick you doing, Jerry? Put a stick in the kid’s back, prop him up or some shite! Come on, call Steven Spielberg. Get some special effects on this shite! Get George Lucas on the case! CGI, motherfricker! What the frick! Tie some string around him, make a cripple puppet or some shite. Lie to me!

Where the frick’s the money going? What, to keep Jerry’s hair black? Where’s the money going? Think about it. Frank Sinatra: dead. Dean Martin: dead. Sammy Davis: dead. Jerry Lewis got a full head of black hair.

And if you ain’t gonna cure the disease, cut the kids a check! That’s right, you know the little boy who’s getting ready to die? Get him a table dance. Get him a table dance, for Christ’s sake! I’m sure the Make-A-Wish people hear that request every now and then. Get the boy a table dance. ”What do you want, Jimmy? You’re dying. Wanna meet Jim Carrey?” ”No, I want some big titties in my face. ” my last wish, come on.” Bigger Blacker transcript
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has confirmed Conor Daly as the driver of its new full-time IndyCar Series entry.

Love to see another American out there, and he is fun to watch.
When I’m in those areas, it concerns me that there is no shade in sight. Break down and fry in the sun.

I also think about how hard it was for the Indians and early European explorers to cross that kind of country. Sand and no water for miles and miles.
You can trace this Louisville loss directly to the roughing the kicker call.

It is wild how so many people thought that shite was real


Every man, woman and child in our country parish, other than my family, believed it 100%. I had kids and even a grown man scream at me for saying it was fake.

Even as a child, I knew that if a 250 pound man stomped another man in the face a few times, or pounded him in the face with a bare fist, it would leave damage he couldn’t just shake off. LOL.

re: Bbq sauce from scratch

I’ve made double batches of this No. 5 Sauce many times, and folks always love it. I customize it each time with things like hot sauce, Aleppo pepper, unique chili powders, etc.

You can always find the recipe by googling No. 5 sauce, and it will take you to the Weber bulletin board where Steve Petrone posted it in 2005. I think he said he worked on all sorts of complex sauce recipes, then decided it all came down to 5 simple ingredients.

No. 5 Sauce

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce
1 tablespoon rub

Simmer to marry the flavors and thicken as desired.
They will be on display in the Country Music a Hall of Fame, next to Hank Williams’ guitar and Bill Monroe’s mandolin.
It’s an hour away, but maybe call T-Boy’s Slaughterhouse in Mamou.
Harlem Berry gonna get to play?
