As a teenager, my mom and her mother forced my older sister and me to attend a winter wedding at a community church in OKC. When we were told our sunday would be spent at said church, my sister and I grew angry. We did not know these distant relatives and had no interest in their wedding.
Did I mention the wedding was to take place during the super bowl? Yeah. They wanted to ruin a great American holiday. Upon further questioning about what kind of heretics would do such a thing, my sister became convinced we were attending a cult wedding. My grandmother countered by saying that they couldn’t possibly be a cult; the couple was doing so well financially, they weee honeymooning in Switzerland.
As we suffered through the wedding ceremony, we found that a) we had to sit through a sermon b) they were going on a mission to switzerland c) they passed around a collection plate during the ceremony to help fund the mission
The ceremony was a bore. No music. No alcohol. I missed the entire super bowl.
That was the day I began losing my religion.
Headed to chicago to see oasis on thurs, aug 28. Made reservations for nancy’s for fri evening based on everyone’s recommendation. The surl delivers.

I think the problem is that fucking idiots vote for a carnival barker doing a wrestling shtick while the fauxnews propaganda machine demonizes the other side that isn’t even aware they’re in the wrestling match.
If this is where we are as a democracy, it’s over. Entertainment over sound government.
Seriously, how fucking stupid do you have to be to be a small business owner who sources raw materials and equipment from outside the US and not realize the tariff king is going to impose tariffs that affect you? Do these dumbfucks use an intermediary importer/exporter that is US based and think all the stuff comes from them? Have these dipshits thought to ask the intermediary where they source their stuff?
Free market + the tariff king says these dipshits’ businesses die. Good riddance.
We’re considering it. Summers are perfect. Fall is popular with the leaf crowd. The coastal towns do christmas up big.
There’s skiing to pass the time in the winter. There’s a ski mountain in Camden and a couple of larger ones more inland.
A couple years ago, we went to boston, and I had a really good stout near harvard. It was by a maine brewery called mast landing. The beer is gunner’s daughter.
I looked for it in every restaurant we went to last week. It was at only one of them. West Street Cafe in bar harbor.
Damn it was good.

The guy in the navy shirt looks like he knows it’s bad to be on camera. Skates past Maxwell quickly even stooping down to use her to block the view of him.
