    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I think I first encountered scones in the early 80s, probably after I started college and, as I remember, when coffee shops started popping up. My first impression was that they were basically the same baking powder biscuit that I grew up on but with (usually) berries or raisins in it. Nice but...

    Ah... sure.

    You're mixing your metaphors. Right-wing survivalists would just as soon be left alone to do their thing whereas the "back-to-the-land hippie types" would inflict their self righteousness on everybody. That's hardly an attitudinal kinship. It's quite polarized in fact.

    Sadly, there is that. "I wasn't until I was told I was. Now, guess what, I am" I fear that might be treading close to the line. Anybody watching the Olympics?

    It's the no good do-gooders that scare me.

    Now, now, the seventeenth century wasn't all that bad. I have long had a certain affinity for it. 17th century music was the area of my research, performing, and academic expertise back when I did that, and my family was deeply rooted in 17th century New England society and culture. So thou...

    It is one of the more ridiculous shows of its ilk on TV. My wife works from home three days a week and sets herself up at the kitchen table which overlooks the family room with the TV on the opposite wall. She has the TV on all day, usually on the travel channel and some ghostie show with...

    The real scary part is that they're usually armed to the teeth! But I'd be willing to bet you will. It'll be a quiet evening with nothing on and you be flipping channels. In passing you'll linger on the show and the next thing you know you'll have been sucked in for the whole episode. That's...

    No need to change the name - redskin potatoes are colloquially known as redskins. It would stop the whole issue dead in its tracks.

    Or something "... Burning River". It really is a tiresome local trope.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Hamburger "hash": A bit of ground beef sautéed in olive oil with a diced onion, a few small colored peppers, a bit of dill pickle, a couple spoonful's of basmati rice, two eggs mixed in and scrambled, a bit of hot sauce and two slices of muenster cheese. Quite a mess, really, but YUMMY!

    Nah, they should have simply changed their mascot to a potato. All the people with native American heritage I know are of the mind that those are their teams. They're the ones they follow and root for.

    Though I don't follow sports, this is just stupid. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2021/07/23/cleveland-indians-name-change-guardians/

    What's For Breakfast...

    Apple pancakes (crepes, actually) sprinkled with sugar.

    A 4 year old Mazda cx5 , shy of 80k. Everything ended up being tight and within spec. So peace of mind was obtained. This is the longest we've had a vehicle in many years, so it tapped in to the latent anxieties from the olden days of my civic (300k+) and Açcord (250k+) both of which did leave...

    Vehicle issues. The anxiety of car issues is very debilitating for me as we really don't have a safety net. I write this while at the dealership waiting for the inspection report. Fingers crossed.

    Latkes with sour cream and/or applesauce.

    Mom and sister are visiting, so I picked up a dozen donuts from Duck Donuts to have with our coffee.

    Yes indeed a new one, but it should be universal in it's shock value. Not all expletives have meaning outside of their country of origin. Case in point. My dad always referred to "little bugger" this, or "a bugger of a time" that. It meant nothing to him or those usually in his company. Except...
