@thiswhoresmouth As a child, my fam's citrus groves started right outside the door. Go pick a grapefruit for breakfast. Juice from oranges just off the tree. Heading for school, pick 3-4 tangerines for snax/lunch.

@EODHappyCaptain Bad news, guys. VN vet here. Thought I was through with PTSD. Got stuck in traffic last week, tried alts, all routes jammed. Trapped, couldn't move (maneuver, evade?). Bingo! Had no idea it was happening until it was. This 53 years from DEROS. Welcome home.

Lady at Burger King just now ordering "a burger with everything," but she didn't want a Whopper. Or a Junior.

Guy behind counter: perplexed.

@kristabellerina Just as those who were "It" when the streetlights came on and everybody had to go home for dinner and somehow that was the last game and so they'll be "It" forever.

@timecaptales It's part of a Vietnam-era C-ration meal.

@SgtMajFrench Neighbor tween girl was horse crazy. Parents put thousands $$$ into horse, stable, feed, vet, tack, outfits, training, shows, travel. Then tween became teen, discovered boys. Never mind. May it go better for you and yours.

Got a kid interested in aviation? Not sure how to help foster it?

In the US, the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) will give kids from 8-17 their first flight in a small plane!

I’ve flown a few; a great opportunity for kids & pilots, too!

Hey, @Uber, hope you take this seriously. If he's done it once, he'll do it again. He's probably done it before. And he'll escalate.

Is Barron being shoved out front to draw fire?

Cop: I need you to sign this traffic ticket.

Me: Can't. Brain worm.

@TrueFactsStated Career intel guy here. The background docs look redacted, the class info removed, making them apparently declassified/unclassified. ??? Suggest you change for bombs, missiles, mushroom cloud, something nuke-related & not so busy. Or just cover sheets. TYFYS

@newrepublic That makes him political fair game, right?

@PatrickDowns Interesting watching the number and size of the BP agents going up. Start with a nice young lady, end up with a WWE guy.

@MGKlingenberg I have wanted for some time to do a research project on some small part of the US effort. Perhaps a screw that became part of a gunsight. To examine the why, how and where it came to be, follow it as it became part of the whole and its movement to the battlefield.

@thedailybeast That's exactly what a brainworm would say.
