    We are currently visiting the US. My oldest son told me today about his plans to move to the US one day.

    He specified three concrete reasons that convinced him that the US is the best country:

    1. Free refills of soft drinks in restaurants.
    2. The ubiquity of burger restaurants.
    3. The fact that there's always a big ketchup bottle on every table, so you can always take ketchup and have as much of it as you want.

        When I was a kid the pancake restaurants had big pitchers of syrup on the table. Different times. Better times. Feels like so long ago. I hardly recognize this country anymore. I wish someone would come along and make America really good again. Really really good.

        Education is extremely important.

          I think this best sums up my recent trip in rural America.

              I’m a little confused about the ketchup thing. It’s been my experience that our ketchup tastes like crap compared Europe…

                no i think heinz still rules the world (although admittedly the original henry heinz's parents were bavarian) although you will find that french fries (chips, for phibes sake) are eaten with mayo and not ketchup in europe

                be that as it may, ketchup...and guns, make america great (again)

                  I redd the above a few seconds after I woke up. For a split second my brain translated bavarian as someone who is varian but they go both ways.

                  I think I'm spending too much time in here. 😕

                                Right now I'm on a whale watching boat in Anacortes.

                                We are heading inwards later today and then towards Yellowstone.

                                    Come up to Alberta. Bison are no longer classified as wild animals. You can pay your $$$$ and shoot one - the outfitter will supply the weapon and ammo. You can keep the meat and hide for an extra charge. They call it the Alberta Advantage.

                                        “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                          Guys, I'm no hunter, and I won't humiliate myself by letting somebody else basically hold the gun while I pull the trigger 🙂
