My daughter just phoned from Louisiana on her way to her flight home out of Texas, after getting a rather bogus speeding ticket in rural Mississippi, wherein the officer was a newbie and likely clocked another vehicle that was going much faster. Revenuers!
Apparently, between the previous drought, and now the freeze, frozen, cleaned crawfish tails in rural Louisiana have doubled in price recently, from $10/lb. to $20/lb.
I said, "Holy SHIT!! In Maine, during season, I can get fresh lobster tails off the facilities along the dock for about that price!!"
But she scored some crab and shrimp-stuffed mushrooms for me, some spicy boudin, some (cured) locally made andouille sausage (I can afford to feed my cancer with class 1 carcinogens for a day or 2, I guess), 2 lbs. of crawfish tails, and some other goodies.
That's when she told me she's getting an identical cooler to the other one she used last time and sticking the frozen goods and some ice in there for an overnight stay in her hotel and a 9-hour flight, counting connections.
I plead with her to find a late-hours place that sells dry ice and to speak with her hotel about sneaking several well-marked packages into their deep-freeze until morning (though they may find that objectionable re. health department regs for restaurants and non-commercial foods in there), to increase her odds of success.
If the stuff arrives half-thawed, there's going to be one hell of an emergency feast here.
"Danger, Will Robinson!!"

Frightening But 100% True Facts About Guns
Humanity was peaceful - until guns showed up. Learn how sinister and evil these weapons of mass destruction truly are.

happened a lot when I was young ,now not so muchToday I found out that guns apparently "discharge at will" all on their own........all of them.
Supposedly from a firearm owner and enthusiast.......... I am confused.

Over a decade ago, maybe 20 years, some folks were moose hunting at Lake Louise, west of Glennallen, Alaska, and there was a .30-06 rifle among their firearms that someone had left a cartridge in the chamber.
I have no clue if they were landing on shore after having bounced over waves, or what, only that there was either loading or unloading of the boat happening.
A young man (I want to recall it as him having been in later teens or early 20s but can't remember right now) was grabbing stuff out of or putting stuff into the boat and the rifle discharged, striking him in vital mass.
Horrible interruption to a hunting trip. DOA.
I've owned firearms since I was 11 (first shotgun) and first revolver at age 13. Papered class III as a young adult and onward into middle age, though sold all of those that were federally papered but for one shotgun.
I always kept any gun in my home loaded, including the selective-fire/fast-shooting stuff, even when we had kids.
My children all watched moose, etc. come home in bloody game bags with large exit wounds, and they seemed to know, contrary to the movies, that getting hit is often a no deposit no return situation.
The reason was that I wanted there to be no misunderstanding that all of the guns in my home were dangerous straight outa' the gate. My kids didn't worry me as much as their friends did, some of whom came from homes that weren't gun savvy or were frightened of guns.
As often as not, when someone is accidentally shot, they were "just certain the gun was unloaded." But the dead or injured party disagrees... if they can.
No I was being funny
I was taught by a nerdy science teacher who ran the rifle team.
He taught us the right way.
He would outshoot guys at a 50 foot range on the team with Anschutzs with a pistol.
It was the best every friday night.

Worse than uncut 92% yellow flake, and twice as psychologically addictive!!
I hide when I see stuff like that near me!!
I love that stuff melting in my mouth, but I refuse to pass it through my lips. I do my best to avoid sugar at all costs nowadays… Unfortunately, I gave up coffee as well. I love my green tea but I miss my coffee.

I perceived your humor and had no objection to it or irritation with it.
I get very literal and detailed a lot of the time and some aren't always sure where I'm coming from as a result.
But your humor was very much understood and appreciated.

Here’s my contribution for the day

When I first went on a very necessary restrictive diet about 15 years ago or so, my initial trick for getting past a good deli that served lots of stuff I could no longer eat, but which smelled fabulous, was to envision skulls and crossbones emblems on all of it, to remind myself of where that stuff was taking me if I succumbed to temptations.
But there have been times in recent past, where consideration of the Grim Reaper's breath being 'smellable' from where I sit, and life being short, that I justify a tweak here or there. If a person can't enjoy life, then....
But I mostly abide by my parameters pretty well.
My GSDs are smart, but I don't want to test finding out if they can read the newspapers to me if/when excesses lead to blindness.. Not yet anyway.

the yellow flake I like is when I am panning gold and I see some shiney….
i need some more Alaskan pickers
the fudge is made from condensed milk , real butter , and organic cocoa powder
only sugar is what is in the milk……sometimes Swede adds the peanut butter in the fudge….
