  1. If you like eating German stuff, I really liked Hessen House in downtown Des Moines. You can get a pork shank and liter of beer for a fair price.
  2. Been kicking around taking the wife to New Mexico for a trip. Watching Oppenheimer greatly encouraged that idea. Would probably shoot for the ABQ/Santa Fe/etc. area. Would probably spend 3 days or so there. Would probably drive down through Colorado instead of through KS/OK/Texas Panhandle. Anything a person would want to see or eat for sure. Would probably be going in mid-October.
  3. I completely lost it when they had Sturgill lead everyone in All the Gold in California
  4. Stuff has come so far the last 20-25 years on land valuations and such. I was the last graduate from my rural Nebraska high school (End of the alphabet in a class of 14), and we were tack welding desks that came with the school in the 50's back together to use. All our sports uniforms were a decade old, didn't have down and distance on the scoreboard and so on. Now the consolidation with our rival has a brand new gym that seats more people than live in the district, a real track instead of dumping us off the countryside and telling us to figure it out, and also sorts of other perks, all while having the lowest levy in the state. (Having a large windfarm, and being the terminus of the existing Keystone pipeline helps too.) Helps that there is a decent light industrial base 20 miles away, and a good chunk of the big farms are livestock heavy to keep fresh people moving in.
  5. One of my college friends was a public defender in Hutchinson Kansas. Besides the midsized town stuff he got farmed out to western Kansas to take on bigger drug, sex, murder Kansas and he had some real doozies of stories. Never could set the office record for a sentence since one of the other defenders was BTK's lawyer.
  6. and Charlie turned into one of those Bubbas by the end too.
  7. Will Pop’s Knife and Gun Place have an outlet there?
  8. They toned down the rape for the Chipmunks version though
  9. I'm on the farmer selling side. The real bitch is seed wheat producer hedges between related entities and margin responsibility.
  10. Being a wheat trader has not been good for my health.
  11. It would have been the perfect opportunity for Ford to reclaim the Tempo name plate
  12. On a grain deal note, at this point the reduced production from fields being out of action from war is going to be pretty manageable to ship from Ukraine via other less efficient methods so I don’t know if the corridor will matter that much short term. The bigger wild card would be a collapse in Russian shipping capability especially if the Aussies have a rough go with El Niño this year
  13. We Oklahomaed a lot. Never did bull in the ring. Our conditioning was always worse than the hitting since we were an 8-man team and our coach believed that running equaled depth. Had to run station to station around the entire school ground with a 60 yard cockle burred hill to bear crawl at the end. He loved Indian runs too.
  14. At this point the only real way Russia could pull out of the grain deal would be to throw every cruise missile they have at the port terminal elevators and actually hit them square with a bunch.
  15. Also at a certain point, we need a variety of rental properties available for a variety of reasons. It's not like owner only market is something that can happen, or would even be desirable.
  16. Also there is a person credited as body double in the end credits.
  17. Saw it today. Enjoyed it throughly. Favorite bit was probably the road runner.
  18. Are enough of the Scorpions still alive to perform Winds of Change Part 2 once it’s written for them?
  19. So are the Ukrainians just waiting to see what units wander off before pushing forward gently to see what falls over at the point?
  20. No Orca’s ever went to A&M as far as I know.
  21. I’m suddenly reminded that Convoy is a pretty underrated movie
  22. They’ve got a full tank of gas, a half packs of cigarettes, it’s dark and priggys wearing sunglasses
  23. So is Wagner really going lean into Apocalypse Nowing it and have Ride of the Valkyries blaring from their column?
