As for the food map
Oregon is hazelnuts. I approve. But I want to partner with Alaska who is king crab. Together (with butter) we would rule the nom-ways.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You should toast those.

Cass, wherever there is a halon system there, there is an emergency stop system, usually involving a button behind glass with a hammer hanging next to it. Sadly, the room locked down before anyone really cued in to THIS IS DAMN SERIOUS. Human denial ("what is that ringing? Is it my cell? Why did we lose network? OH WAIT, THAT'S FROM NEXT DOOR") is a powerful thing.
So someone contacted my aunt after doing some geneology research. Always assumed maternal line came over mid-late 1800s. Nope. Turns out, 1750ish, with family. Earlier to fight in the French and Indian Wars. Huh. And it has confirmation of the family rumors that we're related to the Brontes. Guy who left Ireland was their great great grand uncle.
Even more fascinating is that one fought at the Rev. War Battle of Guilford Courthouse. I went to school at Guilford, not far from there. Apparently, all but one of the kids fought for the US upstarts and the one that didn't, defected. This is fascinating, and quite a change from what we'd always though. Ruins our famine escapee narrative, methinks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In re: Food Map.
WHAAAAAT?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hey, amych, what was our food? Some kind of meat, I know.
ita, you asked way long ago if anyone watched last night's Southland. I did.

They gave us Memphis's barbecue, I gather. Dry stuff on ribs? And then spelled it with a "q" in it, to add insult. Pfaugh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, at least they didn't spell your city's name wrong. Dang, map people! Though they got the chili right, woo!

I watched Southland too. And I really can't believe how obnoxious what's his face is sober. I thought he was bad when he was a drunk.

Dear Wise People in the Box - I am in need of a supplementary fireplace spark screen thingie. Fireplace is 42 inches wide, just under a foot of hearth and 36 - 42 inches high (just 30 inches high would be fine).
Technically I am not supposed to use prefab firelogs but it turns out real wood spits like a demon sucking salt and what it spits is, you know, ON FIRE. Clearly I need a secondary screen to supplement the hangy mesh thing.
Shop for me? Because I am finding random things that seem crazy expensive and I am trying so very hard to be pyroresponsible.
