USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.

Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.

Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.

Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.

Watch the whole thing.

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

[Lincoln Smith @lincolnsmith5]

@golfatx please work on another solution for tee times..there has to be something better. After being in the queue since 7:30 this evening, I couldn’t get a time before 3:30…the systems manager needs to turn off the lottery setting in the queue system for FIFO

Obama killed Osama Bin Laden, no congressional approval. Obama invaded Libya, the opposition kills Gaddafi. no approval. Biden killed the Al-Qaeda leader in 2022. No congressional approval. Trump swoops in and brings the man alive back to the U.S, Democrats go crazy. lol. As an independent who sits in the middle, Democrats to need to stop being hypocritical.

[Lincoln Smith @lincolnsmith5]

The reason our team can’t win is because of the lack of spark they have from the HC……we need to figure something out, because letting McGuire get away en lieu of Aranda was a horrible mistake…

[Baylor Bears on SicEm365 @SicEm365]

Dave Aranda gives his immediate thoughts following Baylor's loss to No. 21 Cincinnati:

"I'm way frustrated ... The thing that strikes me is we’re in a position to get a stop and get the ball back to our offense to go win the game, and we just couldn’t do it."

We are witnessing a historically great season by Sawyer Robertson. Over 1700 yards and 17 TDs through five weeks. Three weeks against top 25 opponents. #SicEm

Hard to miss that but the refs did, in fact, miss it.

I would like to express sincere condolences to all the families who have lost loved ones, in particular their daughters, who were at the summer camp, in the disaster caused by flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas in the United States. We pray for them.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Our nation's heart breaks for the victims in Texas and their families. Just an incomprehensible tragedy.

I hope everyone affected knows they're in the prayers of my family, and of millions of Americans.

***Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.***
