Crazy that it's been a week (?) and Metra @OnTheMehtra still hasn't figured out how to make the Ventra App work. After a 15 minute delay while their servers spin and spin, with no result, I finally get to the purchase screen and get this. Is anyone competent trying to fix this?

@EricAllixRogers Was this just at the turn? They usually salt most of the path but the salt gets washed away at the turn when the surf is up (I crashed on the ice and almost slid into the lake, late on February night during my commute home a few years ago). Hope you heal soon.

Trying this again, Chicago, where can I get pfefferneusse?

[Bill Seliger @billseliger]

Now that Dinkel's is closed where do Chicagoans get their pfefferneusse?

[Bill Seliger @billseliger]

@mcmansionhell There's another way, not widely known, but makes sense in a lot of ways. https://t.co/mejbKJ9l8w

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

@tableau Good tips here, but there are far more Viewers of Tableau dashboards than Creators, how about some tips for them, such as Custom View (my favorite, once set up, opens dashboard with each users personalized filters and you can share the custom view with others) and Subscribe?

@rumormill The @foundfootage team would be interested in that VHS.
