Best I ever had were from Delinda outside of Rimini. Look at these wine prices from 2018

....because they're not going to be the only ones saying racist things. Today, just before prime time, would be a really good time to announce a new ticket.

Ironically, I looked at the forecast last night and rolled the dice... turned off the irrigation system. Usually it bites me in the ass... this time we got a great soaking. Time to play the lottery.

Update?

Half of my oldest son's meals were tagliatelle al ragu'. If it was on the menu, he would order it. Often in Romagna they'll make the ragu' with peas and it is amazing!

Yup. Which is why I think its insane people are automatically thinking it is the "Trump wins in a massive landslide" outcome without all signs pointing to it. His base may turn out but there are more Nikky Haley republicans saying they're not voting Trump and others saying they'd rather stay home. Biden is not immune to the same issues.

Also, he hasn't done a lick to make himself more likeable since the attempt. He's tried to garner sympathy from his base by sticking a Barbie Dollhouse pillow on his ear. Otherwise, he's the same dude with the same group of sycophants and he picked an unlikeable sycophant as his VP pick.

There's polls all over the place. I'm saying there is no overwhelming evidence that its going to be a Trump landslide and that everyone is tying themselves up in knots when they should stay on message and focus. Trump, Vance, Project 2025 and the usual clowshow have given us all we need. Now the DNC needs to snap out of it and be on point with the message and Biden wins.

Oh noooooo he's so popular now!? Just stay on message and stop being whiners and the orange one loses again ...and 538's current electoral update There's time

1. survive attempt 2. pick a sneaker style 3. slap a logo on it 4. ???? 5. profit

What sucks is that even if you hire a trimmer, it doesn't mean anything if the others don't trim. CP needs to get on it. I know that stretch of Woodway well. Unfortunately, what will happen is people along the way will fight back and not want their trees trimmed. Happened in Austin. Will be the usual mess which is partially on CP and partially on owners. Good luck.

Our neighbors in Austin have a house in Port A. After Harvey, they went down and saw that the house looked relatively unscathed until they realized that the water had been forced through the siding and gotten inside. Water finds a way.

Straight up? Cold hearted.

Took my wife to a concert last week. It was... It was... The New Kids on the Block I'll be honest, it was not bad. I mean, it was entertaining... well put together show. To be honest, the worst part was that it was at COTA and our parking situation sucked. "I told her, three song left... we're out of here." Show was 95-98% women so bathroom lines were fantastic. DJ Jazzy Jeff and Paul Abdul opened. So, I will get an audio cleanse this weekend at all the free shows on Red River at Hot Summer Nights. Struts show coming up in two weeks. Don't be jealous...

"fentanyl-laced water"

Had a chance to visit Bariloche several years ago - beautiful but unfortunately we were there in May so weather was not ideal but, still, would love to go back in either summer or winter.

So on new transplants, should you pluck any flowers or just see what happens and if they start setting fruit?

But anyway, I need to hit up a few places before they jack up their prices.

This thread has become so much hand-wringing... going to take a break

WTF is Beshear... like I tend to pay attention to politics and have never heard that name. So you think those who don't pay attention will know that name?

Kind of my point. Anyone can pull a poll out of their ass. What we've seen consistently in the past couple of years is polls tend to be wrong. And, while we're not in a great place right now, there are 3 1/2 months to go. Trump or JD can go on some crazy lunatic binge from now until the election that may impact voting, turnout, etc. And, again, if you think Trump is going to question the legitimacy of a Biden win (which he will question it), wait until someone like Harris or Newsom or whatever wins. Not saying they are winning - saying what would happen. It will be Trumpy to 11. Why not make Trump louder at 10? Because he goes to 11. Hillary Clinton has vaulted to a double-digit advantage in the inaugural ABC News 2016 election tracking poll, boosted by broad disapproval of Donald Trump on two controversial issues: His treatment of women and his reluctance to endorse the election’s legitimacy. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-vaults-double-digit-lead-boosted-broad-disapproval/story?id=42993821

Speaking of weird polls

That was a great afternoon... We went to a winery outside of Castel Bolognese on two different occasions... we'd been there twice in 2022. The food... so good!? Great local wine, price reasonable... very chill. Seriously... I have great memories of our trips but sometimes the slow meals are the best ones.

OK... I guess I was just trying to sort through where he would post something like that.
