    I've bought a few things from Elderly over the years, the last instrument being an autoharp. Unlike Musician's Friend or other chain stores, they'll set up an instrument before they ship. In the case of the autoharp, it arrived in tune and the pads were correct.

    The thing I like about king is I just know I’m going to enjoy the writing no matter what the plot. I felt the same way about Le Carre. When I have long plane trips coming up I always keep a new king ready for download for the trip. For example, I have a trip to Atlanta in March for a conference and I’m waiting for the trip to download his latest, Holly.

    In a country where some states are taking kids away from their parents if they refuse to allow transition, and in a world where 50 year old perverts are being allowed to change in dressing rooms with teenage girls and compete with them on a teenage girl’s swimming team, if Ohio is going to make error, I would rather it be in this direction.

    Speaking of food... https://x.com/AKBrews/status/1748019921475260627?s=20 https://chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com Conceived by the owner in his Chicago Law Office while Dreaming of “il gran giorno” when he would open his restaurant, the Pizza Pot Pie has become a favorite of world-wide pizza connoisseurs who have graced the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company since its inception in 1972. The Pizza Pot Pie is an individual serving, “made from scratch” with triple-raised Sicilian bread-type dough; a homemade sauce consisting of olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, whole plum tomatoes and a special blend of cheeses; sausage made from prime Boston butts; and doorknob-size, whole, fresh mushrooms. (Vegetarian Pizza Pot Pie available.) The Half-Pounder $16.75 / The One-Pounder $33.50 I used to live about 3 blocks from there. Good pizza, but never had the "pot pie."

    @Horace said in Informal Poll…: I don't see any issues if Biden wins again, beyond some local and easily put down unrest. Everybody will get back to normal life within a few days. The last Biden victory led to our very electoral process being put on hold due to our Capitol being assaulted by dumbshits. I know we disagree about the nature and severity of that, which, okay, but for me the point is that using feels to justify circumvention of process is becoming more commonplace and more expected. Which is bad news for everyone.
