I admit to having no Midwestern blood, but, by cracky, I am not about to cook, serve, or eat a side dish known as "Funeral Potatoes." Since God has the ultimate sense of humor (after all, He invented it!) I'm sure there would be news stories headlined "Local Man Dies Eating Funeral Potatoes." So, no thanks.
Someone posted this as a reminder that it was just six years ago that people had to be encouraged to be decent individuals while getting a shot that could save their life.
As you know, walnuts divide into hemispheres. But this one went nuts.
Now, you're talking side dishes, and this old boy with roots in Macon, GA, will talk to you about red beans and rice. Hot-a'mighty!
It's well-known among ornithophiles, and bird fanciers, that ospreys like to build their nests atop telephone poles to take advantage of the lower long-distance rates they can get just by being on the wire.
A schoolchild drew this picture of John F. Kennedy, and something tells me that president #35 would have enjoyed the image. That was when people had senses of humor. And sense.
Someone found this in their raisin bran the other morning. I think it's some sort of compressed, freeze-dried raisin thing, but I don't think I'd eat it! It might be part of a solid gold bar, for all I know.
Remember when you wouldn't dream of having a wedding without personalized matches to hand out? That was when "Light My Fire" was a popular dance number at receptions.
As I watched Artemis II take off the other night, I remember the summer, thirty-some years ago, when its commander, Reid Wiseman, was a summer IT employee with 911, where I worked. He was a quiet, unassuming young man, smart and polite, and patient enough to show Baby Boomers how to get their printers back on line or whatever. We knew he was headed for higher things!
Panera is quietly covering up the electric outlets in their dining areas, no longer wishing to have real estate salespeople and folklore trackers plugging in their devices and soaking up free watts all afternoon. You can't get a charge out of them any longer.
