Bill A08336, also known as the Rest Stop Restaurant Act, was sponsored by Democratic Assemblymember Tony Simone and "requires that food services at transportation facilities and rest areas owned and operated by certain public authorities remain open seven days a week."

I agree but no one approaches the French in their inclusion of multiple superfluous and silent vowels in almost every word. I intentionally mispronounce all French derived words and take great plezure in doing so.

Russian politician calling for peace in Ukraine hit a roadblock in her campaign Saturday, when Russia’s Central Election Commission refused to accept her initial nomination by a group of supporters, citing errors in the documents submitted.

They contracted with Chik Fil ay for half of a tiny space that had only a lone solitary short order cook as an alternative. I was infuriated at both the hospital management and regional Chik Fil A management for taking the contract. Lots of hospital employees get called in on Sundays. And Jesus argued with the Pharisees on the issue of working on Sundays.

247 If you are washing the sterling to get it clean, you may want to wash it with a sponge. If you are trying to get the dark parts off, you may want to consider soaking it in boiling water in a glass tray, with baking soil and a strip of aluminum foil to act as a cathode.
If the washing machine makes it shiny, it might be etching the silver. If you use the baking soda, it is supposed to scrounge the oxidation and redeposit the silver.

Your best morning posts, from my humble perspective, were the French guy who was anachrist and loved painting lesbians in bed and the English artist who got naked for lady friend subject for anatomical lesson purposes only. Those attributes are not strictly artistic but in the larger sense of living an artistic life it is pretty hard to top those two. Any chance we might see more of that kind of content in 2024?
