A Hot Brown sandwich is an open-faced sandwich that originated in Louisville, Kentucky, featuring layers of turkey breast, bacon, and tomatoes, all covered in a creamy Mornay sauce and baked until bubbly. It was created in 1926 at the Brown Hotel as a late-night meal option for guests.

Had a visitor in the shop today. Saw something scurry across the floor in the shop; thought it was a mouse. Was searching for a heavy object to throw at it, and it came out into the open. Awww... it was tiny little brown weasel, no more than five inches long. It looked at me, and I whistled to it, and it ran into a corner out of sight. Cute little guy. Weasels are cool; they kill mice. And host Gun Threads.

“A Runza is a yeast dough pocket filled with seasoned ground beef, cabbage, and onions, originating from German Russian immigrants in the Great Plains and popularized by the Nebraska-based fast-food chain of the same name. It's similar to a bierock but is typically rectangular, and the restaurant offers many variations, including cheese, mushroom, and BBQ bacon.”
Local burger chain named Runza sells the above sandwich along with burgers, fries, etc. Only had it twice, but the burgers were pretty good.

That is pretty much true. Trump's first term was trying to be friendly to the establishment GOP in DC to get his promised platform enacted.
His second more resembles Sherman's March to the Sea because the establishment GOP joined with Dems to try to destroy him and MAGA.

They define a food from the State better than cheesesteaks...and providing the country with 80% of the pretzel stock defines shaping the US.

A friend had a Buick Regal, with that crazy GN engine. It had the flattest torque curve I've ever driven. It was like a tractor. It just kept accelerating, and never seemed stressed.

He'll have money but his gubernatorial Dem counterpart is probably an anchor on his reelection. Keisha Lance Bottoms is not that popular in the Atlanta metro which is what Ossoff has to win big to carry Georgia.
Collins is going to be a tough opponent and if Jackson chooses to self finance millions more for governor against Lance Bottom, that will make Team Blue's task difficult.

Fidelity Investments called me today, though, to say that my rollover check from that long-ago pension fund -- they actually said "rollover check" this time -- was mailed on 6/13. Possibly it will show up tomorrow and I can fire it off to the IRA account -- if they haven't screwed up something else. Maybe my hard-copy complaint letter to the CEO stirred somebody up.

Claiming the best Chicken Fried Steak is big in Texas and I prefer it over BBQ brisket.
And in Louisiana, gumbo varies by region. East of Lafayette they make it with slimey okra with a dark roux. That should not be allowed.

I'd been thinking along the seame lines, after you told me the billionaire won the GOP primary for Guv.
Can "souls to the polls" do the same thing for Ossoff, in an off year election, as they did for Warlock?
I agree that Collins is a a good candidate. And a good fit for GA.
Regarding the blank slate billionaire: there are 2 GOP organizations that have proven themselves VERY good at GOTV: Early Vote Action (Pressler) and TPUSA (Turning Point Action PAC). Hopefully the billionaire will throw some money their way. Both are used to operating on a shoestring budget. Pressler (EVA) especially-- he likes to hire paid canvassers, when he's able to afford it.

The blank slate gubernatorial candidate has expensive campaign consultants connected to the Republican National Governor's association.
Warnock paid metro voters by his canvassers distributing visa gift cards from sewer money in exchange for ballots. And Hershel was not a good candidate, his heart was not in the run. Trump misfired on that one. Plus Fulton County is crookeder than a dog's hind leg and the state GOP is fearful of going up against them (or at least the Kemp team was).
Ossoff though is a cypher even after six years in office--Warnock is a creep but has a genuine connection to Georgia.
And downstate voters are what put Lance Bottoms on top in the Dem primary, she underperformed in the Atlanta metro because her tenure in Atlanta as mayor was so awful. One term

Correct. It's the MN food because two bars in Minneapolis both claim to have created it. There's an ongoing friendly rivalry.
It's also 375% more efficient than pizza for burning all the skin off the roof of your mouth. And gums. And tongue.
The traditional cheese-on-top burger is better.

It could be that the Feds expected AuntiFag to show up for the arraignment and are simply adding faces, cell phone data (all of the AuntiFag types had their cell phones out and recording), etc. for future ops.

Eh, for some personally, it was better, but I think it was probably a worse time for the US in general than the 80's. Worker wages stagnated in the 70's where one wage was no longer enough but two wage household accelerated the housing prices. Stagflation, Uniparty in full power in DC, and apart from some musical bright spots, bands that were great at teh first of the decade sorta petered out with disco by the end of the decade. TV was mediocre with minimal choices and murder got really bad by the 1972-73 and continued on and off due to drug trafficking through teh early nineties.

The 80's were college, work, and more work. I didn't have time to be a kid then. I was too busy adulting.
But the 70's? Ride my bike anywhere, stay out all damned day and some of the night, skip school every Friday to go skiing, sneak a beer after mowing the lawn, and there were no sexually transmitted diseases that would kill you, so, there's that.
And the music.

Bad enough that it'll be like Minnesota!
Ellison and Walz won statewide, I believe. Ditto Klobuchar, who might be worse than either one of those.
I fead a really good account of a federal trial in MN-- "Cardiac Arrest," I think was the name. That was awhile back, of course. I was ashamed of what the DOJ tried to do in that case.
Of course, the DOJ is under new management. I'm hoping for the best.
I DO plan to scan the 175-page indictment. But... life is short, so maybe not. From the news articles, the press conference and the list of offenses charged, seemed like it might be a bit short of VIOLENT overt acts in support of the conspiracy.
That may be what a jury will require to convict.

They began with Russia and ran out the first two years with that (which I explained at the time they were doing - punctuated by the stupid Mueller Hearing where he was just a doddering old man that knew nothing - they had nothing and ran out the clock), then went straight into the impeachments, then finally covid. They hamstrung him from Day 1 and had traitors up and down the admin, under the admin, around the admin. It was pure insanity.
He is only doing president stuff *now* through brute force, the fact that they expected him to be dead, and the foresight he had to kill the phony Epstein Op early in the admin before it really got rolling and wrecked Term 2.

Depends on jury selection but a lot of blue voters are not down with the DSA violence crap. Even Democrats voters now have a majority wanting deportation. It is becoming more an 80/20 issue than a 50/50 like abortion.
The problem for Klobachar running for governor is that the legacy of Walz is going to continue to drip out via the fraud trials, the fed gov grants being stopped, the Somali misbehavior, etc. etc.
As senator, she could fly above that mess, as governor, she either has to repudiate Walz and Ellison the AG as increasingly it appears they are in legal jeopardy but certainly the state's fraud industry is, or embrace them.
The old welfare clients see their cheese literally being given to Somalis and that breeds a lot of resentment.

Someone has been not only organizing, but funding it... to the tune of serious money.
And as that invariably crosses State lines, and may very well be international... it opens a whole new arsenal of Legal weapons to go after folks.
I find it hard to believe that someone was not investigating this for years... which means there WAS a Fed Gov cover up... and it had to be at pretty high levels.
But like the Act Blue crap, where we had evidence for years of them breaking the law... or the Ukraine Bio Labs which they just acknowledged, but some of us had evidence of years ago... until someone in the Media / Government Psy Op space allows it to be important, it will be a conspiracy theory which is dismissed.

80s and 90s, there were 7 Local Bars that had Live music every weekend... and a couple more venues that had live music periodically.
Now, there is 1, and the Bands that play there are all Rockers in their 60's... no young musicians at all.
Live music ex morte.
