  7 Been listening to the latest podcast from Ace, something I haven't done in a while. It is worth the time required, if only we had "real" politicians that had as much sense as Ace and Ginch.

  8 From the sidebar...
  
  Apparently, some libertarian website has an issue with Gary Johnson (the libertarian presidential candidate) promoting the Fair Tax Plan.
  
  Unfortunately, the person who wrote the article that is linked has never read the Fair Tax Plan and has no idea what it is.
  
  Hopefully, Trump will eventually find his way there and adopt it as his own to bring the libertarian vote to his side.

  32 Good morning, pretty Hordelings.
  
  Last week at this time I was camped at the base of Mt. Monadnock in NH, preparing to climb it with No. 1 Son. It was all very family because we were going to visit the spot where I scattered my father's ashes almost 20 years ago.
  
  I remembered it as walking up a hill and walking back down, but climbing Monadnock was brutal. I didn't recognize the route and it was oodles harder than I remembered. I know I'm not in the shape I was but I didn't know it was that bad.
  
  So last night I called Mommy and told her what we'd done. She said, "which Monadnock?". And it turns out there is a Little Monadnock which is in fact where I scattered Daddy.

  36 If the vegan diet is so freaking wonderful, why do they make so many faux meat products? Vegan sausage, bacon, burgers....and even hotdogs. Tofurkey? You'd think that if munching on weeds and roots was so satisfying, those products would stand on their own.

  Yeah. I was making pasta recently and looked at a tub of alfredo sauce. Ingredients were parmesan cheese, creamlike substance, and 24 kinds of stabilizers, preservatives, and carcinogens.

  If you want to cook from prepared containers, do NOT read the list of ingredients!
  
  Case in point, look at the ingredients of the so-called "Half and Half" coffee creamer. You'll come away believing that it should actually be labeled "40, 40, 10".

  The fear of food products is all made up bullshit generated by liberal cult members and evangelical snakeoil salesmen of the fundamentalist religion of Catastrophism. It's a half step away from global warming and fracking causes earthquakes, or "organic" food is more nutritious and healthier. Just my opinion..others may feel differently.

  That was on the radio when I was a kid, the TV show didn't come along until much later. of course back then we only got two stations anyway. I don't think we got a farming show until the local public service station started.

  91 I did the arithmetic. "Half and half" is really 25% cream, 75% milk.Posted by: Grampa Jimbo
  
  Not to dispute your math, but I did the math a couple years ago when I was making home made ice cream. The ice cream recipe called for x amount of cream and x amount of milk. Which, iirc, equalled 18% cream.
  
  I then calculated the cream content in half and half and came up with almost the exact same percentage. After that, I'd simply buy half and half to make ice cream. It was cheaper than 'heavy cream'.

  We never missed a Zorro show until they took it off the air in the middle of the second season. Big contract dispute between old Walt and ABC TV. Walt claimed he owned Zorro and ABC said they owned it. It was a very popular show. I have both seasons now on a DVD package.
  
  IIANM they replaced it with The Swamp Fox. Also somewhere in that was a show about some masked guy in England who was righting wrongs etc.

  Makes you wonder why they deliver milk at 2am.
  
  There is an opportunity for someone with a worthless degree or a GED and some drive...
  
  Make a deal with a local dairy to package their milk, cream, butter and ice cream in your "premium, all natural, farm to table" containers and dress up in the traditional white uniform for home delivery.
  
  You can charge a fat markup going straight retail to the Carriage Trade. It's a status symbol to have the dairy truck pull into the driveway, which basically says "I could feed my family that store bought shit, but I care".
