I have 3 Birmingham-area Chili's to choose from. All are in paved-over hellscapes. Help me choose.

From closest to farthest:

1. Homewood, "Wildwood Centre", which is no longer wild, wooded, and never was a "centre". I was last inside this one maybe 15 years ago and ordered at the bar where they didn't try to give me that sticky flashing touch-screen. Homewood is mildly blue but who knows what will drag into a Wildwood Centre Chili's.

2. Fultondale, Northside of Birmingham in the Forever 1978 suburbs. The Chili's is perched out over I-65 and will no doubt be full of people from Florida or northern states fleeing homicidal post-election mobs. Years ago at a nearby shopping center my suspiciously ethnic wife felt that she was receiving glares from the Pinkfolk. West Virginia starts about ten miles north of this one.

3. Trussville, Northeast of town, at the bottom end of a massive parking lot of a mall and across the street from a graveyard. An odd burb that went from "country village" to "let's park our money here" inside of 20 years. I went to an art show there a couple years ago and it's a place where you can tell they want art, but at the same time they're kinda pissed off about it. Many of the men look like Barney Rubble.

Your an Irondale, Adamsville, Crestwood, Wahouma, and East Lake short of listing my Little League football schedule.

If she wins fuck it I'll go to Chili's. I hate Chili's. Maybe I'll make my kids go with me after school.

I’ll be at chilis for happy hour Tuesday at 1604 and potranco next to the Costco.

Had a friend make an insightful comment this weekend.  I don’t know if Harris is going to win convincingly, but if she does it will align with his comment:

”The United States and its people are always slower to move than they should be, but they end up doing the right thing.  They ended slavery far later than they should have.  But they did it, eventually.  They entered both world wars later than they should have, but they did it, eventually.  Trumpism should have been snuffed out in its infancy.  It wasn’t, but it will be, eventually.”

My Michigan anecdote for this election is that when I was in Ann Arbor both before the game and after the game Michigan frat bros (different one each time) yelled at me that Trump sucks and Michigan is for Harris. I realize that's just because my clothes indicated I'm from Texas but if frat bros are willing to yell that then this thing is in the bag for Harris. Ha.

My anecdote. I mentioned earlier I tried to early vote in Oakland County on Tuesday but the line was way too long and I didn't have the time to wait and just planned on going Tuesday. Wife tried to early vote yesterday afternoon and the line was even longer so she decided to go back this morning a half hour before the polls opened. To her, that meant leaving the house 45 minutes after the polls opened but I digress. She texted me that she found her way into the satellite city clerk office and they asked her if she wanted to absentee. Hell yeah. No wait. She filled it out and dropped it in the box (can track it online). Half hour later I did the same. So voted. Oh and a while I was walking in a guy told me the line to vote was over 2 hours. 

All good signs. It's pretty blue here and there is a lot of enthusiasm.

We winning this shit in a landslide. Only thing missing is a CTJ mud hole post.

[Huckleberry 32845]

I was thinking that if Harris wins and I go to Chili's then I was going to take down an El Niño margarita or three. But then I realized I won't be able to pass up the opportunity to order a different kind and emphasize when I order a "LA Presidente margarita" even if the official name of the drink lacks the gender article.

Oh I want to add to this because I'm proud on a couple of fronts. My sister was on the ground canvassing in Northville today. Not really her style but she felt it was important enough. Also she took my HS Senior nephews to see Obama in Detroit, and they voted for the first time afterwards. And the one who is a total bro bro who could be influenced by friends voted straight ticket D.

Seriously, on the France stuff, if you want to learn French just move to a medium-sized city and go out and drink a lot. It's possible to learn it in Paris but it's harder because there are so many people from all over in Paris, you could spend a year there speaking English or Spanish or whatever.

Medium-sized French city will still have more culture and history than most of America, and housing costs are about half of Germany or the UK. Trains/buses are the best imho.

To jump start you, here are 4 useful phrases:

Ce n'est pas de ma faute      it's not my fault

Je l'ai trouvé comme ça      I found it like that

Je n'ai rien touché      I didn't touch anything

C'était déjà cassé      It was already broken

Guys,

I'm pretty sure there isn't a Chili's nearby, so I'm just going to hit up a nice Italian restaurant near me and ask for Southwest egg rolls.  I'll report back tho
