hard to miss it going NB, every single idiot has to go 9mph to get a good look at **** that doesn't effect them

Well, probably only 5 percent do.
But then they cause a backup. And then everyone has to slow down.

I saw them cleaning this up a little before 9am while I was going NB...at 70 mph.

Now what

$3.25 for a good time and roll of the dice on how you feel the next day. Dill Street's $1 mini pitchers and $2 buckets were crazy ideas too. Kids just walking around dipping out of random, closest buckets. It's all fun and games until some hot head makes it rain on the dance floor down below. Glad I was upstairs and opposite site when those events happened.

Oh yes I miss it.

Brrrrr! It got cold out there. Had to go outside and untangle some Christmas lights that got wrapped up in the tree branches from the high winds. Also dragged the tree up the stairs from the basement. I must be living right, all the lights still worked when I plugged it in.

Tomorrow nearing my 2 year anniversary getting hit in that wreck. Yet another State Farm phone call. Such a PITA.
I will say that State Farm (at fault) on their end has been easy to work with. Other companies, not so much.

Lol, glad to hear it went ok. I hope no lingering issues except maybe a phone call every now and then... Funny, coming up on my 2 yr anniversary too. Ram 3/4 ton Trx4 totalled on Martin Luther King weekend 2020. About a month after that I ended up switching over to a Ford. It was the best deal around and will tow anything I have with ease... Happy so far. Some insurance co out of south bend or lower Michigan did me pretty well on compensation. Also, not my fault. I was in Phoenix when it happened here, lol.

@ Steak n Egger on Cermak in Chiraq. One oof my favorite greasy spoons, where I have a steak and eggs for breakfast whenever I have to go to Jessee Brown VAMC.

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

I've been wanting to go there for a little while now. Next time I am in McCook I am going to try it out

 

[2A_Tom]

Well, that may be the last time.

I used to get the ribeye for around $12 + tip, today it was marked $13.95, OK.

When I paid it was over $18 and I had already left $5 on rhe table.

That was one expensive cup of coffee!

 

[CTC B4Z]

Bad economy.

. Everything is up

Didn't your $5/hr raise help pay for it?

 

[2A_Tom]

Did you get a $5 raise?

You were in Chicago where the taxes are:

6.25 % state sales tax
4 % local sales tax (yep, Chicago take 4 % sales tax on everything)
0.5 % restaurant tax

so 10.75 % total.

so - don't eat in Chicago.

Edit: or buy anything in Chicago.
