Been craving this since Tuesday.

I'll skip the asada next time, and double up on the pastor though—it was a bit dry.

But the crispy carnitas on the sopes was perfection on an altar of masa.

A plate with two sopes, one half eaten, in the foreground with salsa and a tray of four tacos resting tantalizingly in the background.

So, let's see.

NHL team, AHL team, PWHL team, senior women's team, maybe senior men's team...

Did I forget anyone...?

The season of hope smashed up with anxiety is here—in excess!

Props to the little for reasoning that one out.

In a supermarket: A young human (7?) is inspecting a display of vegan sausages. After carefully reading the packet, he roars: "DAD! ARE SAUSAGES VEGETABLES?!"
Dad shrugs. "Those ones are."
Young Human looks hopeful. "Can I eat these instead of vegetables?"
"Nope."
Serious sausage debate ensues. (4)

US currency is considered the gold standard and other countries covet it for international trade

Argentinian pesos are only of interest to people planning to flee prosecution for war crimes to a non extradition state

Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. has “directly purchased Argentine pesos,” and the Treasury Department has “finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank.”

There was a roller rink in Morro?

All we had was the rinky-dink one at the fairgrounds, that was cannibalized for a seasonal ice rink in Atascadero for a bit.

Roller rink would be a good venue, all that wood for acoustics.

Downtown has changed to the point where I see new stuff on the regular.

it's a high we're all chasing. it's a way of keeping hope alive even in the bleakest of times. and, well, if this ain't the bleakest of times it sure as shit makes the bleakbuster list.

we're high on hopium. if an underdog can win, then maybe we can. maybe the world's worst ills can be overcome.
