I went in for a routine Mammogram at 1:00 and had the (negative) results back from my doctor by 3:46. Second time it’s been a few hour turnaround. American medicine does some things very well.

Once a year for my Birthday I have original recipe KFC (thighs) and a bottle of fancy Champagne. Then I toast the biscuits with butter and honey for breakfast the next morning.

Our go-to despite being Southern back all the generations. No shame either!

Yes! My Dad always said, “Let’s get a sackful of burgers.” The sack was important.

Fault or gift?

I’d use chicken instead of hard boiled egg. It sounds good.

Strange frogs walking down streets and staring down ICE is absolutely a basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
