The discourse earlier this week on blocking and lists spurred me to check which ones I’m on. Most of them are innocuous follow lists — “New Mexico,” “local news,” etc. — but this one was pretty funny. This man is very mad about beans.

As you can see in the last excerpt they made an effort to target slaveowners and pro-Confederates. Here’s another where they steal some cabbages.

Last year I read the memoirs, written as letters to his local paper 50 years later, of an ancestor of mine who fought in the Union Army. A lot of them are about stealing food. Here’s one. (They get the tomatoes and killed the dog when it tried to attack them.)

The steak menu certainly looks different than what you’d see today. I don’t even know what a “club steak” is — a cheaper cut I assume, maybe like a petite sirloin or something.
They also really liked their pineapple rings.

Sometimes I like to look through the menu of the restaurant where my grandfather worked in the 1960s. Lot of little insights into what was popular then versus now. (For one the rye list is longer than the bourbon list.)

Get my fainting couch! This is why it’s important for young reporters to spend a few years listening to farmers yell at each other about Robert’s Rules.
Maybe there’s more the story isn’t capturing but if this is the best example of dysfunction you need to spend more time in these kind of meetings.
