Over 30 years ago when we moved to our property there were a couple of other families with school age kids. Just them at Halloween. Now zero.

Years ago we had the worst lightning and thunder we ever had right on top of us. Our donkey had managed to get in our backyard. Now he was in a panic to get out. I went out with my wife watching from our back deck. Just as I got to him and the back gate the place lit up like a giant strobe light had triggered. My wife couldn't believe what she saw in that flash moment. Pecos headed for his house. I was nervous out there the whole time.

A lot of people mention they can't drink coffee after a specific time because they'll have trouble getting to sleep. I can drink coffee into the evening with no problem. I drink a lot of iced coffee. But every great once in awhile the caffeine will get me and I will be awake longer. Very rare though.

I don't drink much anymore. When we get together with our kids I'll have one or two. Beer, I like stouts. Bourbon with a little ice. For something a bit more refreshing I've been making bourbon with some margaritas mix. Ice, then you add however much sparkling carbonated water you like. I also like iced coffee or lemonade. I use stevia in the lemonade.

There are plenty of boards that are "titanium coated" "titanium color". Usually stainless steel coated however they do it. A magnet sticks to them. Real ones are "100% Grade 1 or medical grade titanium" or "solid titanium". A magnet does not stick to them. They don't cost $500 now. That may have been true years ago when titanium was much more expensive. They wouldn't be a good choice for professional environments where they are cutting and chopping all day long. But for home usage are fine, but not required.

Those prices are not even remotely close.

Pro chefs are chopping and cutting a hundred times more then the minimal use the average cook at home is doing. Day after day.

Looking at what info I could find professional chefs generally use wood primarily because they are using their knives for hours everyday. Much more wear then a home cook. They like the feel of the knife against wood. Not much was said about cleanliness or bacteria. At home using the titanium board a handful of times a week shouldn't be a problem. And they are easier to clean and care for. A few strokes with whatever sharpener you like should be all you need. I do that when using wood anyway.

I got a titanium board a while ago. I'm only using it for meat, especially chicken. We have wood boards. My wife chops butternut squash everyday to supplement our goat feed. Pretty much everything but the meat we're now using the wood boards.

My grandparents from Buffalo, New York visited us in Central California in the early 1960s. I remember grandpa wearing jeans at some point while they were here. It was like he was wearing this outlandish costume to him. Not sure if it was actually his first time but it seemed like it.

I've seen some female athletes including Olympians are upset with her. That she's reducing women to only sex objects. But the attractive female athletes will leave nothing to the imagination with some of their "game entrance" outfits. Including some wearing full makeup during their games or events. They do the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition if offered to them. No complaints then.

That's a great price for Bookers. I get them at Costco for $80. Everywhere else is $99 to $129. Some even higher. I've got 3 or 4 of them right now.

It happens. I know you feel a lot worse with having your friends that you were supplying guns and ammo to shoot then if it had just be yourself. Can't help but be embarrassed. Careful in the future!

A collared polo shirt is about as fancy as I get. I do have t-shirts I only wear at home, working outside. Nicer t-shirt with no stains for going to town.

"The data shows us what works — community violence interruption and focused deterrence, investing in public safety as well as public health, and building a resilient economy with good jobs and shared prosperity,” she said". "Community violence interruption ". Is that legally armed citizens stopping crimes in their communities? As Jeff Cooper said, the intended victims are who must be ready to strike fear into criminals.
