Steak and Shake has a menu item known as a Red Velvet Milkshake.  Being a red velvet cake fan as well as a hand-spun milkshake fan I had to try it since it seemed to be the perfect combo.  My thought: Not the perfect milkshake, but I’d pay for one again. PS–Yes, I know Tarantino… Continue reading

Nicki, over at The Liberty Zone, has a post up about a kerfluffle in Pittsburg, KS regarding a ‘God Bless America’ banner that has been in place on the Pittsburg Post Office since 9/11.  It was paid for out of the private pockets of the postal workers, some of whom were military and others.  Well,… Continue reading

So the CBS Nightly news has been doing ‘exposes’ on charities who seem to be funding themselves more than helping the folks they are supposed to be.  Tonight’s target was the Wounded Warrior Project whose administrative costs are along the lines of 95%, and only 5% going to the wounded warriors.  This was pretty common… Continue reading

So this song always touches a chord… Continue reading

As Mr B said, the Indy 1500 gun show was packed.  I don’t think we’ve ever been there with the line going around the corner like that.  I picked up a few things that I caught my fancy–a new Gun Toten Mamas purse from Hiding Hilda.  Even if I don’t carry in the bag, the… Continue reading

Talking to my sister this morning and she thinks that any Adele song should be proceeded by a trigger warning for anyone who has made a bad life relationship decision. From SNL: It’s totally a chick thing…. Continue reading
