I heard there's a restaurant up in Cortez Colorado, they've got a prairie dog town right outside the door.
Makes you wonder why they kept it there.

Perhaps some of our Floridians might offer up opinions? @Alpo?
I believe I'll pass.
I'm not a fan of tacos in the shell anyhow. Soft tacos yeah. But bite into the crunchy and it cracks up and pieces fall everywhere - when they make a soft tortilla version I have no idea why anyone would eat a hard taco.

How the hell did you did you fella's come up with 'ketchup'!!!!
Ya' a weird bunch, you know that don't you
My understanding is it came from the Cantonese
Kats sup (I undoubtedly spelled that wrong) which means fish sauce. The original ketchup was a sauce made from fish. Like Worcestershire. It immigrated to England where it became quite popular. Then they started making it with different things instead of just fish. There is mushroom ketchup. And the one that we are all familiar with here in the states - tomato ketchup.
From wiki -- A popular folk etymology is that the word came from the Amoy (Xiamen) region of China into English, as a borrowed word 茄汁 (ke zap, Cantonese, meaning "tomato sauce"; the character 茄 means 'eggplant'; tomato in Chinese is 番茄, so the phrase literally translates to foreign eggplant sauce).
And pretty much everybody just dropped the word tomato from it because all the ketchup you can find in the store is tomato ketchup.
Be like calling it avocado guacamole.

i remember all flatware being called silverware as well
Remind me of a Happy Days episode. Richie was sick and potsie and Ralph had come over to the house to keep him company while the folks and Joanie had gone to the movies. A burglar shows up.
He wants Richie to show him where the silver is. Richie says they don't have silver. The burglar replies that they're married so of course they have silver. Richie shows him.
Richie asks the guy not to steal the silverware. The burglar says, "you're going to tell me it has sentimental value". Richie says that he and his brother and sister save their pennies and nickels for an entire year to buy that for their parents' anniversary. It had never been used.
"Never used?"
"Mom says it's too good."
"What do you do on Thanksgiving and Christmas?"
"We use the good stainless steel."

I just now saw that damn red bottle.
His orange and yellow shirt that bottle just kind of faded in. I did not notice it atall atall atall.
I did wonder about the "sauce" reference. I forgot that y'all call ketchup "tomato sauce". I was thinking barbecue sauce, tartar sauce, soy sauce??
Tomato sauce. Pfuey.

Looks more Carpenter to me.
That blue thing behind his left shoulder appears to be a circular saw. Then in the case at the other end of the picnic table appears to be a nail gun and a cordless drill.
I was unaware that plumbers used any of the three.
But my main question is what the heck is he eating?
Here I would say it's a hamburger but I've seen pictures of hamburgers down there, and that ain't got no beets and no pineapple and no eggs - so obviously it ain't a hamburger.

Yeah them officious know it all types.
I was at mule camp one year, wearing this.
Many people complimented me on it, but there were many other officious types that needed to know that it was legal.
NEEDED to know. I showed my paperwork many times.
At the Friday night barbecue supper this guy is sitting on my right side so he is sitting right next to it. He looked down a couple of times, said that was a nice looking gun, then told me that I had better not let his friend Hank see it, because Hank was a sheriff in (some county) in North Carolina.
I'm thinking - first, this is Georgia so good old sheriff Hank ain't got no more jurisdiction here than I do, and second, it's legal so screw him.
Then he nudges his buddy sheriff Hank and says, "hey, you see what he's got over here!"
Sheriff Hank did not even slow down his eating. "I'm sure it's legal."
I wish more cops had that attitude. The fact of having something that MAY BE illegal does not give you probable cause to bust the guy.

looks young for his rank
Tony Dow, the actor, was born in 1945. This episode was made in 1970, so he was 25 years old. There was a war going on. I've heard people get promoted quickly during wartime, sometimes.
Don't forget, in Back to the Future, 17-year-old Marty McFly was played by 24 year old Michael J Fox. Sometimes people look younger than they are.

Perhaps his cover was in the car?
Wouldn't he have had to put his cover on when he got out of the car to go into the convenience store to buy the pack of cigarettes for the girl?
Rereading my original post I see I left that out. The girl needs some cigarettes and asked him to leave the keys in the car so she can listen to the radio while he went in to get cigarettes.

I was watching Adam 12. This episode was originally in 1970.
Leave it to Beaver's big brother Wally is a Marine. Just back from Vietnam. Just bought a car. 8 miles on the odometer.
Picked up a hitchhiker. All he could remember was blonde hair to her shoulders and an extremely short mini skirt.
She stole his brand new car.
So there he is standing there talking to Reed and Malloy, outdoors, with no cover and his hands in his pockets.
I thought that was a no no for Marines.
Have I been misinformed?
I thought his hair was too long also, but 1970 I don't believe they were doing high and tight.

Stepmother
We have Bill. And we have Susan. Susan marries Bill's father. That makes Susan Bill's stepmother.
But if Bill died several years before Susan met his father.
Would she still be considered his stepmother? Seeings as how he was dead before she married his father?
I'm thinking in-laws would work the same way.
My wife had two brothers and one sister. So I had two brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law. But if one of her brothers had died before I ever met her, then I would just have one brother-in-law and one sister-in-law. Right?
I don't think you could be related to a corpse after the fact.

In books I have read, they have a stenographer taking down your confession or your statement or whatever the hell you're telling them. Then they have that typed up and bring it back to you and have you read it and sign it. That's in books
In TV shows, they hand you a pad of paper and a pen and tell you to write it all down.
Now truthfully, having the stenographer take it down and then the secretary transcribe it and type it makes a whole lot more sense. I mean hell, typing is much easier to read than my handwriting.
So there's the question.
They bring in a suspect or a witness or whatever. Do they have a stenographer taking down what he says, and then have it typed out for him to read and sign? Or do they have him write out the statement and sign it?
And I'm sure someone will say it depends on where you're at, so whichever Police department you have ever been affiliated with - how did they do it?

I wondered, when I read that post, if I was the only one that did not think that when you needed a gun you needed it immediately (I figure if I needed immediately I will have it in my hand). That seems to be the way it is in gun magazines - remember them? - and all over the internet. All holsters are not talked about how well they secure the gun, but how will they conceal the gun and how quick you can draw the gun from it.
The one I posted on up the thread was designed specifically for camping. 20 gauge bolt action with a short barrel designed to fit in a backpack, to take it in the woods with you. It wasn't something you might need in the middle of beautiful downtown Burbank to fight off some Crips or some Bloods.

Maybe they realize that you don't need iced tea spoons, as correctly sweetened iced tea is sweetened as it is made. You don't put sugar in it and stir it up when it's on the table.
Personally, we used iced tea spoons to get the jelly out of the jar when I was a little boy.

Video clip. This guy walks up with a piece of paper in his hand reading it. "I'm looking for a doctor Jonas Salk" (I don't remember the name of the doctor in the video). Woman looks up and says "that's me". He hands her the paper and says "you've been served", turns around and walks away.
How is there any proof? What is to prevent the woman from sticking that summons in the paper shredder and when the cops show up saying "I never saw it. I don't know what he's talking about"?
I suppose nowadays they have like body cams to show that they've been served, or they take pictures like the Amazon guy does when he leaves the box outside your door, to prove that it was delivered.
But back before everybody carried a camera, how could the server prove that he served?
