that's on my must see bucket list.
Look for titles that include something something vaccinations or something somethings birth control. She goes into wonderful attack mode on those, and unlike those she tends to argue with in there, backs up nearly everything she says with facts. REAL facts. It's a thing of beauty.
 
Got some cooking to do today when I get home. Arroz con pollo and red beans. Hungry AF right now, but cooking will take a good couple of hours. :(

pretty sure facts are better when felt from the gut
 
in other news, hopefully my frustrations will get out via hitting the volleyball tonight. Scoring points for us, of course.

Also, the corn chowder was pretty good. Yay for me.
I've been watching enough olympic volleyball that I fully expect to see you flying above the net on periscope tonight.
 
Well that was disappointing.

I simply got "ok"

I may have to up my game and either buy a Jeep or book an Alaskan cruise.
Or one of these.

Going to go try a short jog again today. Just reminding people that if I stroke out running that it's CG's fault so don't go giving her dibs when it comes to the RTT dividing of the stuff action.
 
I am ashamed that I forgot that this is one of your jobs.

Speaking of license/degrees. I actually had a very successful farmer and businessman take classes when I taught. He was roughly mid to late 50s. (my wife and I actually run into him and his wife in q volunteer capacity at times now). He wasn't going to ever take a job that he didn't own and was going.to slow down to farming. I never understood why he went back to get his degree. He said he just felt like it. He drove 35miles each way four night a week for 5 hours of class for 5 years. Just because.......he felt like it. I felt incompetent next to him.
 
Pants, just a side note on the state fair butter cow since you mentioned not going. There is actually more than just a cow. Last time I went, Shawn johnson was a big deal so there was a carving of her, I believe John Glenn had an anniversary of something so there was a carving of him and a return capsule or something plus about 8-10 other regular things. It's like KC said, like the ice carvings or the chainsaw wood carvings. Just different carvings in a different substance than normal.

It's a little corny, but there definitely is skill involved in what the sculptor does, she carves throughout the fair so there is something new all the time. May not care, but just some little trivia.

This year it's a salute to Star Trek TOS.

This. If you want to see CG snap on someone, go start a vaccine thread. Bonus, you'll get Angie doing the same thing.
 
Minny state fair does 12 butterheads for the Princess Kay finalists. 90lbs, I think. Most of the girls end up doing a pancake breakfast or sweet corn dinner or something for their community.
