This is a decent kids menu, both in terms of aesthetics and nutrition. We can and should do a better job in the US to include children in our society in a meaningful way, and it can start with little things like this. Accessible seating, space for play and exploration and independence, food, etc.

One time I was walking down the street in Hamtramck, in a rush, late for a meeting at work as usual, and someone stopped me and handed me this note.

I did own a pickup truck at one time. I really liked it actually, but it just wasn't practical for what I needed a car for most of the time. It also got terrible gas mileage, was too big, and was dangerous for other people on the road.

I like to buy bulk mulch, it's not enough to make delivery by dump truck worth it so I save a bit by renting the trailer. I also use a trailer sometimes to move the cargo bike if it really breaks down. But I definitely get what you mean!

As tempting as it is to pay $800 per month to "own" a pickup truck, I settle with paying $20 to rent a trailer a couple of times per year.
