      When I realized that the same melody was used for Twinkle Twinkle, ABCs, and Baa Baa Black Sheep.

      I'm still upset about this.

      I found out the other day while looking up gardening tips that Chipotle Peppers weren't an actual type of pepper I could grow. They're just smoked jalapenos...I'm ashamed.

      But, I WILL be growing jalapenos in my garden this year!

      The "AR" in AR-15 comes from the ArmaLite name (the first manufacturer) not from Automatic Rifle. AR's are not fully automatic and fire one round at a time exactly the same way a pistol or shotgun do.
