I would probably try it because I love the Midwestern Culinary Delight that is the Apple Grande from Taco John’s. It is a fried flour tortilla with apple pie filling and sprinkled with ??crushed red cinnamon candy sprinkles?? and cheddar cheese. Used to be available year round, now only at holidays.

A Mexican restaurant on our side of town started serving breakfast a few months ago, and they have life-affirming chilaquiles.

If you are in central Iowa, it is El Patio bar and grill where the old West Town Pub was located on Mortensen.

Scott Manley (of whom spouse is a superfan) has pics of the weather balloon. He took the pics to his boss and said “sure looks like one of our panels” and yeah the weather balloon mfg is a customer. lol
A tweet from Scott Manley that says “MENG Here's what the operational part of the @WindBorneWx weather balloon looks like - they use sand as ballast. And here's the plane, I now understand why the paint on the window frame looks like it's been sand blasted. It does look like WindBorne are doing all the right things, but I'm guessing the controllers just didn't get the location information they were sharing?”

Anyways I had to go (back) to Lowe’s to exchange a can of spray paint due to the Black Spray Paint Situation (my new Midwest emo band). One of the cans was very leaky and gifted me with an accidental goth manicure. 🧙‍♀️

Oh wow, Dr. Darleane Hoffman, ISU alumnus and GOAT, passed away last month. Absolute legend, I was grateful to meet her in 2007 when she came back to ISU to receive an award. #Chemsky 🧪

so they are basically running into the same issues
Cryogen-free magnet was used to measure high resolution solid-state and liquid-state 2D NMR spectra. • •It was shown that the magnet is good without limitations for solid-state MAS NMR. •For liquid-state NMR the temporal field stability needs to be improved that can be done by hardware field correction. •Magnet can be used at different field without compromising the data resolution. •Some remaining spectra distortions can be corrected by post-acquisition software correction.

This weekend was “get all of the plants inside cuz it’s gonna get cold.” I’m not 100% done but I made a lot of progress. Hoya Rebecca was very crabby about coming inside as it had started using the house as a trellis. It has had a very tiny spider friend (on flower cluster in 2nd pic).

Lest you think it is all good times over here, this huge trellised rhaphidophora tetrasperma (‘mini monstera’) did a root rot? And basically yeeted itself out of the pot. Not quite sure what to do with it, if I can put the whole trellis in a pot with sphag moss and see if it re-roots 🤷🏻‍♀️
