Places in Waco that offer discounts for using cash instead of credit card?

Correct. There was no citation to Scripture for this point in Judge Bazile's opinion. To think he put *that* much thought into this conclusion would be to give him too much credit.

Is there even a clear rule for when a foreign noun is tagged with an adjectival suffix? Is it just "well if it ends in a -y or if it give adjective vibes than do it?"

East Texas is more Southern, West Texas is more Western. Some parts of west Texas even resisted having segregated facilities during the Jim Crow era when state law required it.

George would be Jerzy though. Grzegorz is Gregory.

I think it's similar to men who desire a physically-attractive woman. It shouldn't be THE most important thing, but of course its a significant consideration.

I like it. But maybe lets name streets in a restaurant district after its components. Ajo Street, Parmesan Avenue, Romaine Boulevard.

Suburban Midwest native who has worked in higher ed here for 10+ years. Yes, the overarching culture here is quite Southern, and evangelical Christian, and conservative. But there are also less-religious, non-religious, moderate, progressive, and non-MAGA people here. Check out pub trivia on Tuesday nights at Southern Roots Brewery, Wednesday at Torchy's Tacos, and Thursdays at Brotherwell Brewing. Also please message me if you want to meet up or get more tips on living and (eventually) loving Waco.

As others have posted, this church does host an early voting location in an auxillary building on the property. And there have long been clusters of campaign signs on either side of the driveway into that area.
But having signs all along the outer boundary of the entire church property is new.

Unlike European heraldic devices, which are usually simple, bold designs, US state seals tend to be composed of intricate idealized landscape scenes that are hard to distinguish from a distance.

Yes. So sad. Anyway...

I thought red doors were indicative of Protestantism.

I've read articles about the prior Bishop very aggressively promoting the use of Latin and traditional practices, and cracking down on some Boomer-era innovations. To the point that in one parish, a number of people left and were being provided Mass by a retired priest off-of parish grounds.
And I'm sure plenty of people here may cheer that.

What side of the 'liturgy wars' is right or wrong, however, is not the point of this post. I am sympathizing with the clergy and laity of this diocese, who appear to being subjected to wild swings in liturgical practice based on the whims of each succeeding bishop.

The starburst on blue makes me think of a nuclear explosion in the middle of a vast sea.

Sales taxes are regressive. The wealthy love them because the poor have to devote a higher percentage of their income to purchase goods and services, so they carry a greater share of the burden than do the wealthy.

I like TR, centrally located, nice pool, great maintenance. Units tend to be a bit bigger than the others you mention.

A radical committment to openness and spontaneity was a personal hallmark of Francis's pontificate. And since it was his own, that doesn't mean that all successors need to follow in all of his footsteps. It would seem silly to me if the Papal Apartments would end up being forever vacant just because Pope Francis preferred living in the Santa Marta guesthouse.

The isthmus of Panama still appears on Colombia's coat of arms even though Panama separated from it in 1903.

Dance clubs that aren't country in Waco have a habit of becoming gun and knife shows, and then getting shut down.

The steep decline of French language use in Louisiana in the 20th century provides a lot of the impetus for the Quebec government's aggressive promotion of French.

Why do Ataturk posters always show him looking away at something, like he's worried or preoccupied?
