So, I guess the reprobate Smith is trying to throw as much spaghetti on the wall that he can before it’s confirmed that he’s not qualified to be doing this? So much for that whole “integrity” thing.

Mornin’ All. It is still in the 40’s here and very chilly and rainy. Nice day.
The more they deny and react to anyone saying there is election, the more certain they have done it and plan to do it again.
I was going through my mother’s photos yesterday and found a picture of my father about my son’s age now. I was startled and my mind tried to tell me it was a picture of my son. I knew he looked a lot like my father, but I did not realize how much.
Hope you all have a nice day.

Gotta find something to laugh about in that overpriced prima donna coffee joint! I feel so awkward when I go into one in a hotel that I might be staying, because I would never go into one for the fun of it. They look at you so weird when you order a large black coffee. It’s like you’re asking for something in Latin.

One barista (just that term seems so arrogant) looked down his nose at me when I ordered a black coffee and said, “so you want a Cafe Americano?” I had no idea what that was until I went home and looked it up.
I told him I wanted black coffee. He repeated himself, even more snootily. I said just coffee black. I got what tasted yuk to me, a Cafe Americano. Not the same, and I don’t like espresso, even if you put hot water in it.
Also, years of being drilled on customer service at Home Depot makes me want to slug people who won’t at least thank you for charging gold bouillon for a cup of coffee. And Starbucks appears to train their people never to say thank you. They never, ever do, and this absolutely enrages me.
If you deal with the public, give them a smile and a thank you. If you can’t do that simple thing, then go live on the street with the drug addicts. Your cardboard box is more than you deserve.
Of course, to be fair, around Thanksgiving and Christmas, you’ll hear me say how much being in retail management has made me hate people, so it goes both ways.

Tastes burnt to me, as does New Orleans French Roast. I can avoid Starbucks because there are many local shops, and I have a metal cup Czar bought for me so I could bring my coffee from home, made the way I like it from a blend I like.

I only get Starbucks if that’s my only hotel option when traveling. I don’t do that as much now, so it’s not as big a deal, but what a PITA. Menage’s story is my story with those pipsqueaks!

I’m just now getting to a place where I can talk about a real traumatic incident that happened to me. Yesterday morning, I had been up for a few minutes and was going to get my 1985 original Mr. Coffee maker ready for duty. I always do a quick rinse of the pot before starting each days ritual offering to the coffee G*ds. I was doing a quick shake-off and caught the edge of the pot on the edge of my quartz countertop. Guess who won? I had to go up to the corner store and grab a couple cups of sludge, but made it through the day. Finally got done working last evening and headed to my local big-box store with HQ in AR, and found a new model. Not a lot of buzzers and bells, but it does have a clock and a “Brew Now” button. The old one only had an on/off switch. It was so easy to use and the time was never wrong. I may be suffering from PTSD.

They did that to my mother. They had a problem with the first vials and then she went in a second time and they lost the vials. When she went in the third time, I told her when she got the results they were going to tell her she was anemic. And, they did.

Our old friend Jack Cashill has some thoughts on Cackles and J6. Jack gets a lot of pushback, as our legacy “media” consider him right up there with Alex Jones because he goes right after their fatted calves, and has, ever since Teh Won showed up to fundamentally change the United States of America.

I was buying the cheap stuff at Walmart. I just had to give up something. More things to give up are coming. We don’t have an Aldi anywhere near here. I wish we did. I really liked it. I don’t know if there is a Trader Joes here.

We now have a Trader Joe’s and I like some of their things. However, they are on the other (bad) side of town, through nasty traffic. I hate going over there. We might as well be Atlanta these days, as far as traffic goes.
Chattanooga has two major interstates come through town, I-75 north/south and I-24 east/west. A study done by Bass Pro stores years ago before they came here showed this huge amount of traffic passing through here, a giant percentage of the traffic east of the Mississippi River. And they are located where the two interstates cross.
Also have quite a few Aldi’s and I am a fan.

I prefer Aldi to Trader Joe myself. Aldi is much less expensive on some things, although their selection is limited. They have a good selection of cheese at reasonable prices. I noticed that the frozen fruit (mixed berry, for example) is about half the price I pay at Meijer. I buy their brand (Winking Owl) Pinot Grigio for less than $4.00 a bottle. I think it is made by Gallo.

I have also found some good deals on one time things they had, like a good muffin pan once, and occasional Christmas things, other seasonal items. They have a good price on kefir, and used to be very good on milk, bread, and eggs. I haven’t been there in awhile.
It is usually where I buy my spaetzle noodles in the fall.

They had finally gotten an Aldi’s where I lived in FL. But, it was at the total other end of town so I only went about once a month. They were building one down near where I lived, but it wasn’t built before I left. I sure liked shopping there.
I looked up Trader Joe’s and can’t find one here, either.

NO is having crisis after crisis, some due to the Rat mayor, some antique infrastructure, some lazy and “ain’t my fault” bureaucrats. For the third time this month there is a boil water advisory in the parish. There were 120 past due invoices for work authorized and completed on city property (city council found out and forced the department to get off their a****es now there are just 13 overdue). The ankle monitoring system was not being monitored – there was over $2 million in the account but “nobody sent any requests for payment” so the company stopped monitoring and teenage thugs just did whatever they wanted, cut the anklets off, etc, and one finally killed a French Quarter tour guide. City council fixed it because the Rat mayor apparently didn’t know about it or didn’t want to be bothered.
Raise your hand if you want to live in a big city run by Rats…
