I’ve been past that Donner sign. Also have been to the visitor center there, and the statue whose plinth was the depth of the snow. (It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the plinth was covered three years ago when they had the incredible deep snow loads. Truckee building code is designed to bear the *70* feet some places had.)
Back in ancient times when multi-vehicle ski trips I was on used CBs for coordination, the standard call when passing that sign was either “anyone hungry?” or a variation on the old restaurant waiting area joke of “Donner, party of ten… nine…”
No 4th floor — some residents at the assisted living place I worked had an apartment on the 2nd floor. Lovely couple, very pleasant. One day they complained about the construction noise from the 3rd floor. Whoops – 2nd floor was the top. We asked them to move into our memory care wing.
Food engineering – when my wife was a PhD student at UC Davis, 1974-ish, she used to eat lunch with an assortment of other grad students. I got an early intro grapes in a net bag!
Captain Janeway was a sorcerer?
Garlic and vanilla extract – recipe quantities are just a start, everybody knows that.
I don’t think I want to take home any leftover assassin.
The recommended amount of garlic is a starting point, not a limit. “Two cloves of garlic” means “start with two large cloves of garlic, then toss in a few more because they will get stale or sprout otherwise, and the flavor’s probably weak anyway.”
“Subtle, delicate flavor” is not how I cook main dishes.
Ooo. Kitty crack! I’m familiar with that problem and solution concept.
/sigh So much for that 90 day probation period feeding fish.
Dishwasher safe skulls was a great Conan the Barbarian moment.
Isn’t that interesting. The rotisserie chicken from Costco is my favorite bird too!
Now we know why the mayor of LA let Pacific Palisades burn, and why it’s taking so long to rebuild. She owns stock in wheel chair ramp manufacturing.
Question: Do you think Booth & Co would have forgone their assassination attempts if Congress had impeached Lincoln or if he had been brought to court for violating the Constitution?
Communist synonyms: Marxist, Maoist, Socialist, Antifascist, Democrat.
They said there are no stupid questions. Then Ketanji Brown Jackson said, “Hold my beer.”
Dear Melania: Let Jimmy keep talking and he’ll do it for you.
To be honest, Omar did immediately correct herself. But that’s like jumping off a cliff and then realizing you shouldn’t have done that.

As far as the Sam Eliot one, about Reaching That Age When…
That was about twelve. Since about thirty-five or so I have realized the need to claw that one back a bit.
