I am surfing the internet
Enjoying peace a quiet

A video and audio commercial automatically starts playing

So Intrusive
I have to quickly hit a mute button and look to pause or close the video commercial.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The power was out for 6 hours today. Luckily
I have a gen so I had it going in no time and
had power and heat in my office but not the
rest of the house. I plugged in the fridge
but no heat lights.

I remember not having a gen for decades
and just sitting it out. But now I'm spoiled
and it irks me to have to go thru all the
work of messing with everything involved
in getting and keeping a gen going. Still
better than sitting in the cold dark, though.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I was at a small casino yesterday and the power went our for about four hours. No generators.

A salad should consist of bite size pieces. You should be able to eat it with only a fork. You should not have to cut up a tomato slice or a giant bell pepper ring at the table.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Nope. A proper Caesar salad uses whole lettuce leaves. And big, thick slices of garlic bread, not croutons.

Well that's why it's MY pet peeve. Salad chefs may consider it proper. I consider it partially prepared with work remaining for me to finish.
