My family hunted all the time when I grew up. One place that we camped and hunted had blueberry fields as far as the eye could see. The kids would pick blueberries, and my Mom would make sourdough blueberry pancakes over the campfire.
Those are some of my best childhood memories.

Oh shit!
You will be missed Sir. I don't think the AB band could have carried on after Dwayne's passing without Dickey.

Did Naaman's head act as an acoustic lens?

Maybe it's someone who changed their name to Rock Icon?

Thing with Ramsey is that he is a very serious chef. His main restaurant (Restaurant Gordon Ramsey) has three Michelin Stars.
His "persona" in the various shows he does is just that - a persona.
I'll bet that the three star kitchen he has is calm. The chef team cannot cook at that level if the main guy in the kitchen is yelling at people.
In Le Manoir au Quat'saisons, Raymond Blanc's three star restaurant, it is very definitely calm. The first time we went there, it was a mate's significant birthday. Now he trained as a chef, so I had a quiet word, and organised a kitchen tour for him.
They had just spent a quarter million refitting the kitchen. And there were the same number of chefs in the kitchen as there were diners. And that is why it costs loadsa money to eat there.
It will be the same in Ramsey's three star. Calm.
That's most of my issue with him. If he's not an over the top, confrontational guy in the real world, then don't pretend to be one in the media. It's the very reason that I think most reality TV is anything but, and generally an insult to one's intelligence.
And if he really does have the personality that he displays, then he's a disrespectful asshole. Either way that persona does him no good in my mind. I feel only contempt for him.
The bigger picture is that we're telling people that being kind and being reasonable is a loosing way of life. Reality TV has caused immense damage in that respect IMO.

Happy Birthday!

Love that show. And anything that shows Gordon Ramsey in pain makes me happy.

I love the coupe as well, and my understanding is that this car has become the pinnacle of the Porche driving experience, once held by the older versions of the 911.

Just to be specific, I believe the Cayman is the hard top, while the Boxster is the convertible.

95 million people watched that slow speed chase live in '94. So I think a White gen. 4 Bronco will carry that stigma for quite some time in the future.
Hell, they're even digging up Kato Kaelin to comment on OJ's passing.
He's worth a few million now, all due to his connection to the case.

Is that the bitter marmalade you told us about the other evening?

Is that Matt Foley's van?

Keeping a sex slave seems to require more work than one would think. This is why I keep wine in my dungeon.
It's actually a small outside closet. Maybe 3' deep. They call it a root seller, though It's above ground.
It posed a few challenges. The hinges had to be attached directly to the rock/concrete. But I have a demo hammer/concrete drill. We manged to fit the gate/door within a couple of millimeters. I of course made Al go inside to attach the screws from the hinges into the frame of the door. He loves spiders!

Went to see Wicked Little Letters with Al, Claire, Dorothy, Joanne and Grahame.
Then out for Ramen.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yes, though you simply can't overdo your fruit intake.

What, no fruit?
I would have assumed that you would have mango with Mexican food.
(Yes, I'm aware that avocado is a fruit. Nobody knows fruit better than me.)

Glad you said that, because I was thinking that the ending sucked.
What are you listening to Part the Third
