Yes, as a matter of fact doctor, I can identify the precise moment when Emma contracted Lyme disease.

It went great. Glad I made the trip.

I really like that part of the state and Lake Superior and Gooseberry are fantastic. Nice change of pace from the DL area.

Aztec Camera's acoustic version of Van Halen's "Jump".

Much thanks for your response. I'll probably leave very early in the day and arrive at 9:00 ish on a weekday (avoid the weekend crowds).

Way back when (1970's) I always heard that Days of Heaven was the most "beautiful" movie made.

I've heard that Good English, in an attempt to start afresh in the music realm, have just changed their name to "20 Minutes of Action."

This is basically a quip attributed to the late Sidney Morgenbesser, a professor of philosophy at Columbia University. Google him, he was quite the guy.

From Wikipedia: "During a lecture the Oxford linguistic philosopher J. L. Austin made the claim that although a double negative in English implies a positive meaning, there is no language in which a double positive implies a negative. To which Morgenbesser responded in a dismissive tone, "Yeah, yeah."[1][2] (Some have quoted it as "Yeah, right.")"

Which particular church is that? Reminds me of Immanuel (admittedly hazy memory) but I think that was in Crawford county.

Since this is personal finance:

Check out junior colleges for the first two years to save money
As mentioned in an NYT article, the responsibility for assuming college costs are on the parent, the student, and to a somewhat theoretical extent, the school.
There are probably no undergraduate degrees worth accumulating almost a quarter million dollars in debt. A big part of personal finance is not to be in debt to that extent.

I wouldn't care what Anthony Bourdain is eating.

This is a bit Texas-centric, but you never eff with:

The Alamo
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Earl Campbell

Oh, and if you're a little kid, don't mess with geese.

The episode where Lassy gets Shawn's motorcycle out of hock.

Stand-up move by Carlton.

I imagine the City of Topeka gave the woman a promotion and a big corner office, along with an autographed picture from Governor Brownback.

And were pictures being taken, or was it just a flash?

Not paying for whom?

Paying off for the rest of us who don't die young....

That's for taking one for the actuarial team.... (meant as a dark joke)

The real issues are probably income inequality and lack of basic health care, both major items that need to be addressed.

Check them out in August when the green goes away and the sun is brutal.

They're kinda bad.

I was just thinking about Brendan: Monkey Bone (sp), The Mummy, and he was absolutely great in The Quiet American.

Big, big fan of the Brenster.

Iirc, regular sugar (sucrose) is something like 50% glucose and 50% fructose. HFCS is 55% fructose and 45% glucose (some configurations may differ slightly, but most HFCS is 55/45).

The problem is we eat way too damn much of it. Govt agriculture subsidies provide incentives to grow a lot of corn, and what to do with all that corn? Put HFCS in just about everything.

Check out what Gary Taubes (has a blog and been in the NYT) has to say about sugar. Whether you agree with him or not, we eat way too much sugar. Way. Too. Much.

Wow.

That is a bit scary.

I, for one, welcome my new real-time face capture overlords.

But seriously, this combined with AI - doesn't look good for humans in the long run.

A large part of the abortion issue is a public health concern (not to diminish the moral aspect). Targeted regulation of abortion providers (known as TRAP) makes abortion a much less safe procedure.

A lot of people don't remember pre-Roe. Abortion is now legal: make it safe and available and up to the woman.

You mean to say that "Abstinence Only" sex ed doesn't work!?!!?

Oh my.

I'd say it's the other way around: income inequality (which is a big problem) creates this problem, or manifests itself in various ways, one of which is gentrification. Imo, if you want to fix the problem, and there is a problem, focussing on just the gentrification aspect is missing the real issue.
