Golden line from John Strong as England fails to score against Ghana today in Boston. “But as we know the English historically struggle here in Massachusetts.”
I'm not gonna tell you you should try all three--no one should feel obligated to do that however, I will tell you as someone who has driven to every single state in the country with the exception of Hawaii every experience I have had with staff at Buc-ees or Waffle House has always been warm and pleasant--but my fair share of flies and guns at Bass Pro and what is so much fun about watching tourist post about their travels around the country, the awe and respect that they have for our sense of place and the little things in our lives that makes the middle of the country feel big.
If these things matter to you like it does for a lot of Americans it kinda hit you right in the heart because in a little way, we rolled out the welcome mat and showed them things that reflect us.
6 counties in PA are the snack capital of the world where 80% of the snacks consumed this country are made!
Which is why the quip about "shrinkflation" did not go over well with those farmers, manufacturers & truckers in those Pennsylvania Counties

2006 Under Bush, I had to do security for the Lt Dan Band in Hawaii, loved it.
2008 under Bush we spent 3 days cleaning and “sprucing up” the base HQ at Kaneohe Bay for Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh to visit and he never showed.
2009 Under Obama, I had to spend my own money updating my service uniform and driving over an hour to go unfurl a giant American flag for the Chargers
2011 I spent an entire day driving from DC to quantico to get my prosthetic legs fitted in service alphas to go to the White House and have dinner with Obama, Biden and 34 4 ⭐️ Generals.

The good will bought for the Soldiers getting to interact with Kid Rock and all the Soldiers knowing a celebrity supports them without partisan reservations is worth a fraction the fuel we dump in the ocean everytime a jet lands on an aircraft carrier.
Carl Sagan on books:
"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."
An MLB player tosses a ball to a kid wearing his jersey.
The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball
This fake bully protection movie trailer with John Cena, Alan Ritchson, and not Channing Tatum is the best fucking movie trailer I’ve seen in at least two years!
Holy shit 😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
Think of media figures and certain politicians as time worms. They exhibit different colorations and messages as things move along. They are not principled beings applying a set of beliefs to changing circumstances, they are not objective reflectors of events, they are opportunistic, morphing, adaptive entities with fixed superficial features -- a hallmark pair of glasses, say; a famously wagging bony finger -- for recognizability.
