    TIL... EVOO is beneficial to your heart. Confirmed, again. It's hard to find because so much of it is cut with inferior oils. So simply eat your olives.

    TIL everyone enjoys their pet protocol for food. Our mileage will always vary. The entirety of life is just too huge to contemplate to let food debate exhaust you. Mistakes = experience.

When you've ridden that merry-go-around and all the horses' saddles are worn smooth from our ...., mistakes, then we may honestly be willing to listen.

    No code. The only thing white jeans are good for out here is seeing the ticks. We're stuck in a time warp, still wearing the 'Joe Dirt' mullets proudly. Business in the front and party in the back.
