  1. Huh? Vegan chickens or do you remove the chicken from the stock?
  2. Kind of funny. I think it's an automatic though. I'd think they go after his insurance to pay the damages. When the potato truck crashed on the pass two years ago, the insurance company was Russian owned and payed nothing. I bet he woke the f up when the shit hit the fan.
  3. I think we all need more sheep in our lives.
  4. Two, basil and oregano. At the moment I am plant sitting for a two neighbors. And I was just given a small herb garden with five herbs to plant. I might plant some lettuce and tomatoes this winter or spring. At work, I have a poinsettia that is three years old.
  5. Kick it, blow it off, ignore it, follow Nancy Reagan's advice, "just say no." It's overblown. My plan, everybody gets a book. I went to a bookstore and picked out one book for each of my friends and family. Not expensive books. I'll cook a nice meal for them, not fancy, but I will roast not steam the brussels sprouts @RalphWaldoMooseworth. I will bring a puzzle too and some trivia questions to quiz them.
  6. How would increasing your internet speed make you give up your internet? How often does the electricity go out? How often do you need to make a call on a landline when the electricity is out? Are you trying to order Dominoes when the power goes out? A router costs about $15. Take the day off work? Is this your set up? You're over thinking this. It's internet service not rocket surgery.
  7. Don't make me come to NJ and shove a roasted sprout down your gullet. Try these. They are magnificent! https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/brussels-sprouts-with-pistachios-and-lime
  8. I love them roasted. Get on board Ralph.
  9. I listen to the radio every morning. Trivia, local news, ski report, weather, avalanche report, good music, all while I have breakfast. He'll even tell you what beer, wine and booze is on sale at the local grocery store. This is stuff you need to know.
  10. Turns out I'm going skiing Sat night.
  11. Landline? seriously? why? How often do you use the phone? I think I've had 3 phone calls this month.
  12. Sat night vs the Boulder Yellowjackets.
  13. Bingo. Want to go to the hockey game with me?
  14. The old country was full of ponies.
  15. No PB Twix? Only Twix has the cookie crunch.
  16. There is a bike path that goes around the roundabout and crosses over the road if you need it. It is much safer than the previous "take you life into your own hands" method.
  17. I have to say I like the roundabout. The scene before the change was scary as f*ck especially on a bike.

  19. The driver was cited for failure to maintain control and driving too fast for conditions. https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/cops_courts/roundabout-crash-earns-two-citations/article_d2fa4ab2-7d3e-5490-9837-6baf7fa3e6df.html A Florida man who came in too hot approaching the Gros Ventre Junction roundabout structure on slick roads late last week has been cited and told he must appear in court. Yonal Alexandre, a 39-year-old from Orlando, was estimated to be traveling at 35 mph when he entered the roundabout headed southbound around 11 p.m. Thursday. Instead of turning, the truck he drove went straight, resulting in snapped wooden rails and destroyed stone pillars in the middle of the recently completed Highway 89 crossing structure. It’s unclear if anything in particular caused the crash, other than driving too fast for the conditions, Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Matt Brackin said. Alcohol wasn’t a factor and Alexandre didn’t report being asleep. Visibility was also fine, he said. “From everything that I saw in the crash report,” Brackin said, “there wasn’t anything that would have adversely affected visibility to see the signs or recognize that there’s something coming up in front of him.” The Wyoming Highway Patrol, which headed the investigation, issued Alexandre a citation for speed too fast for the conditions. It’s a bondable ticket that carries an $80 fine. Separately, Grand Teton National Park also cited Alexandre. “We cited him for failure to maintain control,” spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “and we made it a mandatory appearance.” Germann said the court date is “unknown.” She was unsure of the maximum penalty for the code of federal regulation allegedly violated. Gros Ventre Junction, site of a $5.8 million redesign in 2018, has sustained serious damage. To help pay for repairs, Grand Teton is seeking funds through the System Unit Resource Protection Act, which can provide reimbursement or restitution for damage to park resources. Completing a damage assessment and coming up with a repair bill could take a full year, Germann said. The crash is the second to damage the Gros Ventre Junction roundabout since the structure was completed a year and a half ago. The first crash, Brackin said, was a hit and run between a vehicle and one of the stone barriers circling the structure. Brackin said people branding the roundabout unsafe are getting ahead of themselves. “I don’t see the roundabouts being a safety issue by any stretch of the imagination,” Brackin said. “I think that it’s alleviated safety issues with traffic in general. “This was a pretty generic accident, other than the damage that it caused,” he said. “I know it’s kind of a hot topic, because it’s a new roundabout.” Germann also stood behind the safety of the structure. Changes to the Gros Ventre Junction design, she said, are not being considered at this point. “The original design was with traffic safety highway individuals and the Federal Highway Administration,” she said. “We’ll do the assessment and go from there.”
