My memory is bad, whatever happened at the end of Don Quixote?
Trump: "Today, I'm playing the best course I think in the world. Turnberry. Even though I own it, it's probably the best course in the world. And I look over the horizon and I see 9 windmills at the end of the 18th. I say, isn't that a shame?"

Though Miller's comment is about the Twin Cities, I am reminded of this wonderful article from a few years back about a different Midwest "terrible city"
onmilwaukee.com/articles/ter...
Which I am due to reread now.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

I've been watching a Kikkoman plant being built for the past year. It won't be ready until sometime in 2026.
A committed car factory sounds worthless to me at the moment.

I can guarantee you that no, I will not be buying it off of amazon.
Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard & those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

Pretty sure there are cheaper ways to find a new barber... Who will actually even put your sideburns.
Pete Hegseth has ordered a hair and makeup studio to be made at the Pentagon for his TV appearances.
The project costs thousands of taxpayer dollars.

It's probably been 5 years since I returned to Yarnham. Guess, I am digging out my PS4 later.
Bloodborne launched 10 years today on PS4 🌗
It went on to sell ~7.5 million copies and is the second highest rated game in FromSoftware's history behind Elden Ring.
