And has no one pointed out that this is the fault of left wing politicians and Union leaders who have priced everything out of the area of affordability by their policies and demands?

I am thoroughly sick snd tired of left wing commie AHs just arbitrarily attacking us for for no defensible reasons, entirely too often in violation of laws already one the books since the country was still young. They are really a small minority who lie, cheat, and steal into office because of the ignorant people who believe their BS promises and who who vote for them.
Them and the other idiots who don't / won't vote for whatever reason.

Australia with our small population has always and always will be an extremely loyal and close Allie of the USA and been in every conflict with the US since WWI.
Our defence treaties like ANZUS which comprises Australia, New Zealand and US are very strong.Aussies and New Zealanders are exceptions, although I have never really considered them Pacific Islanders.

I like it but I haven't seen it for sale in America in a long time. Where are you getting it?
Frys, Safeway, Walmart all carry it here. Ask where they have hidden it.
I got a two bottle pack from Amazon in only three days. (There's an Amazon hub four mile east of here. Got s pocket knife overnight...4:oopm to 9:00am...once.) It's a bit cheaper there, too with my Prime account

That part of Tennessee was blitzed as well!
Right. Ask my daughter and son-in-law who live in Flat Rock.
Still no power, running out of fuel for their generator, roads blocked or washed away, neighbors have lost their homes and businesses, farms destroyed, many people are still trapped in their homes, blocked or destroyed sewage, communications spotty( if active at all), not enough drinking and cooking water and none for washing, bridges out. Not much wind but the water has nowhere to soak in where they are...one of two tropical rain forests in North America... and the ground is already soaked to the max.
New estimates put full recovery at about three years... and they haven't received any help from the feds. The state and a lot of wonderful service organizations and volunteers are helping, though.
Look at the pictures and you'll see something I never considered: hundreds of thousands of dead fish washed way inland and dropped when the flood waters ran off.
Gonna be some serious health problems down the road because of all this.

We don't have rabies and some other diseases here because of our isolation......they could have just isolated the poor dog until it had a clean bill of health
Sounds like a government decision. It doesn't have to take anything into consideration except what THEY think.

Thanks Forty Rod, much appreciated. We are very lucky for sure.
Cherish your time together and remember, you can do nearly anything you want to and have fun. Don't ever say "I wish we had...." Just do it!

Well if it’s anything like A1 no thanks!
It's a different flavor and only a few of the same ingredients. It's good on eggs and hash browns, even breakfast sausage, but I like Tabasco better on those. It's positively vile in V8 juice. V8 is best with a dash of Worchestershire sauce, a bit of horse radish and some garlic, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Serve it ice cold with darn near any breakfast except Rice Crispies or blue berries and cream.

Uno and I went for dinner this evening at a quaint little tavern in a near by town. The place holds maybe 40 people at the most. As we came in the door, there was a large table off to the left that had 5 couples around it. The owner told us sometimes there were only 3 couples, and sometimes there were 7 or 8 but it depended on who was available. This group of folks came every Friday evening for dinner and drinks. They were all locals and I would guess the median age was about 70. There was lots of laughing, joke telling and general camaraderie. One of the gentlemen came to our table to apologize for their loud conversations. We just smiled and said carry on. You're a great bunch to listen to. As they were leaving, the owner came up and gave them all hugs, wishing them a good week. She walked them to the door and invited them back next week. The place became deafeningly quiet at that point. The remaining few patrons seemed saddened by their departure.
On the drive home, I mentioned to Uno we need to make more of an effort to stay connected with our friends. Maybe we could organize a Friday evening gathering like that. It would be really sad to let our insanely busy lives get in the way of living.......... He agreed.
We started a group in SoCal called The Grumpy Lunch Bunch (Check them out on the web) that was very much like that. Every other Thursday at 11:00 we met in a different place. Some times we went on excursions like to the Autry Museum, Peterson's Car Museum, or the Route 66 Museum. Sometimes we went to some member's back yard and had a picnic....like Tom Muley's cast iron cooling. I sure miss that guy. There are only Rowdy and Donna Yates and Cliff Hanger left.
There are a group of CAS shooters, rodeo folks, and regular like-minded people who meet at Zeke's Eatin' Place in Prescott every Thursday morning at 7:00. Drop on in if you're in the area. We'll be at the back of the place on the right hand side. You'll enjoy yourself and meet some of the most outlandish people you ever saw.

China Gate in Montclair, CA had an all-Chinese staff until just before we moved to Arizona. Some spoke very little English, but most could get by. The owner / manager and his two brothers got to be pretty good friends of some of the Grumpy Lunch Bunch,
About two months before we left California my wife and I and another couple went in and had a Mexican lady wait on us. I asked the manager how come he hired her. He sat down, as he often did if the place wasn't too crowded and looked me right in the eye and seriously, almost sadly, said "We ran out of relatives from China. He asked if that was okay and I told him that as long as the food was excellent and the service was near-perfect I had no complaints. A few years later I learned that the place had closed.
I don't miss much about California, but there were some amazing restaurants there.

Would you prefer corn cobs or the Sears catalogue?

We never stooped to that. We had burlap tote sacks. They were washable and reusable. Made getting a "red a$$" take on an entirely new meaning.

I have a friend who got one in about a week. He's having it fitted to a Beretta .32 Tomcat. I don't know what that will entail (and neither does he) but it's gonna look funny. It more than doubles the length of the gun

I'm praying that another hurricane doesn't hit my kids in North Carolina. They live on one of only two tropical rainforests in North America. The ground is always totally saturated so nothing soaks in. It just rolls down hill tearing up everything in its path.
They didn't get a lot of wind, but the heaviest rains since 1912 (so I'm told). They didn't get a lot of damage, but the land for forty miles in every direction took a massive hit. No roads, no power, no communications, bridges, roads, houses, nothing that we take for granted...all destroyed and more.
They are saying now that there won't be a complete recovery for up to three years.
I realize that I sound selfish...and I am. I hope everyone recovers and they don't get clobbered again.

I will be celebrating our 60th next July. I would give my soul if she were still here to celebrate it with me, but she has been gone for almost nine years now.
I wish you more years to enjoy and am envious.
Congratulations and God bless you both.

No one will gain much ground in the Middle East until we get out of our little "Crusader Villages" and roll out everything we have and start kicking a$$! And we must DEMAND assistance from the countries who have been riding our coat tails for over a century!
Quit the UN and throw them off our soil (Let them move their HQ to whatever mud nation has provided the current Secretary General and live under those conditions, laws, and customs...and infrastructures and supplies), and defy the UN to do anything about what we are going to do. Ignore whatever they have to say about it.
Do away with Diplomatic Immunity" and get their spy systems, operatives, and saboteurs out of our country. If any are caught use our court system, the way it was meant to be and punish them to the full extent of OUR laws and demand equal treatment from the rest of the world.
Stop supplying our enemies (and the others who don't care about us as long as we support their governments and causes). Cut them off completely. If they have resources we need we could negotiate contracts for those items and / or services ONLY, at fair market value, and notify the world that we will violently and immediately defend our sources...but not otherwise get involved. Any attacks on U. S. personnel or properties anywhere in the world will be met with immediate violent and total responses.
If some country needs what we have we can do the same thing for them.
Defend Israel, Taiwan, and other places that we literally created, and demand across the globe that the people we fought for and saved repay the debts (with interest) we are owed. So many of our enemies and competitors would not even exist if we hadn't provided supplies, money, lives, and technology, etc. for them to survive.
Great Britain, every government in the Pacific, all of Europe, China, Russia, a large part of India, north Africa, the Middle East, the Atlantic coastal areas, quite a bit of Central and South America, and the list goes on, all owe us for what we did for them.
We must stop apologizing to the world for being better than they are and for any other thing we are or do. BE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY ( if our internal politicians and do-gooders ever allow that to happen.... but that's another discussion.)
There are those who will argue that we couldn't have won these fights had it not been for the countries we saved,. Maybe not...but we stepped in and helped, we footed the bill, provided all manner of materials, covered their butts, and even helped plan products, movements, communications, training, propaganda, and a myriad of other things so that "they could help us win the numerous wars...then and now!" WE weren't obligated to do any of this, but we did.
When it was over with we stepped in and helped rebuild these countries, many of which almost instantly turned on us
and are now our greatest adversaries.
Rant over. I'm going to the grocery store.

British standby, now made in the Netherlands...sort of like A1 sauce, but not the same. HP stands for Houses of Parliament.
Don't have to refrigerate it, which is a good thing because if you do it becomes almost impossible to pour.

They have to get the word out so you know about the product!
My parents never put much stock in commercials and my wife and I never have either. I disconnected my TV about two years ago and only get the few ads that show up on my Prime Account with Amazon. (Sure is peaceful around here these days.)
I also get irritated on the radio ads (which i can't shut off) from politicians: "I have X number of patents"," I was a star football player in college", "I have lived in this state (usually in some huge crime and illegal alien left wing mega-hive paradise) for however many years"..
Who really gives a crap.
My sister will vote for anyone who "is a good Mormon". I can't convince her that that has no more reasonability nor value than if she were running for office because she "was a good school teacher" or "good mother" or "a wonderful grandma".
I'll say it again so no one misses it: WHO REALLY GIVES A CRAP?

Do any of you use it? I do and really like it on some pork and some chicken. Not crazy about it on beef nor fish, though.
I have never tried cooking with it. Never tried it in stews or gravy, either.
Looking for other uses and recipes.
