Pumpkin Nut Bread.

I'm a believer there is no Pumpkin bread or banana bread .
Banana is a variety of nut bread.
They are all nut breads.

Speaking as a McMullen from the Elyria McMullens, this definitely sounds like some McMullen shenanigans.
“Girlfriend co-conspirator Molly Doughty“ is about as McMulleney as it gets.

“Elyria parakeet caper.“

This year's bookmark contest winner is a Nazi, apparently.

Making sandwich bread for my coworker who has been complaining about being broke.
I got some wild picked homemade, Huckleberry jam to share as well.

I was reading in a museum how plywood was invented in Portland, but it was in Aberdeen Washington where anyways
scientists invented a waterproof plywood that gave the product it's practical use.

My grandpa did. We're really proud of him for that. When Pearl harbor happened he was 16. He said "where's Pearl harbor" and they went back to their game.
A year later almost all those boys were dead. He was in Africa in a tank and was badly injured. Battle of Rome. Scraped over a year up Italy.

Cuomo won by 15% in places where average rent is under $2k.
Interesting how voters who don't suffer from rent increases and income inequality don't care about it as much.
Similar to why rural voters don't want to address homelessness.

My dad and my grandma (age 98) were at the first games in LA in 1959, including the game where 103,000 honored Roy Campanella.
They were at the Kirk Gibson game in '88.
They still watch nearly every game and were together for Game 7 when the Dodgers won their 9th world series in those 66 years.

Very emotional to see Kershaw save the day with 90 mph stuff.
Or to see Klein run out of gas and get out of that jam with no curveball and a weak fastball.
Or for the best pitcher ever, Koufax (who pitched a game 7 complete game shutout on a tired arm) in the stands watching.

I listened to the first 2 games on the radio in Olympic National Forest.
I'm going to savor every moment of tonight's game.

Two Maga chat bots walk into a room;
-Democrats are the Nazis.
-Yeah. Hitler was right about the Jews.
-Yeah. Democrats are too dumb to recognize their self delusions.

The best thing about this story is the author has no degree he can cite and was "trained" as a mathematician.

The threat of abolition. Fort Sumter? NBD
The flaws of the Confederacy? Too much freedom.

It's pretty good.
They make their candy out of it.

The popcorn harvest has begun.
So far so good.

Look at the catcher in this picture, just non-chalantly pointing to first.

Ok here's the proof Amazon's Prime day is a scam.
This audio mixer is 25% off selling for $75.
But next you see my email from Sept 16 recommending the mixer and referencing the $75 price.

They raised the price 33%, then put it on sale back to the same price.

On Wednesdays, I bring a vase of flowers for the people at the front desk of my school.
Easy pickings these days.
