YOU GOUDA BE KIDDING Do you know what Pinconning has a lot of? Cheese cheese and more cheese. We managed to hit three of the four outlets and surprise...they all had cheese! Every persuasion and flavor combination one could imagine and some combos, that just made you scratch your head. You know like anchovy, truffles and red wine Pinconning which would be very expensive but taste like so much luxurious crap. Also amusing was finding Pam's Pantry dip mixes advertised as "Made exclusively in Grand Ledge Michigan"! And one store had a Bergdorf's wine display that probably had more bottles than the actual distributor in Williamston. I almost got the tee-shirt stating "I cut the cheese in Pinconning" but I suppose most would not get the joke that Pinconning is the cheese capital of Michigan, as stated on a sign coming into town. I was also able to snag a jar of Bacon Jam that I gifted my bacon loving son-in-law.
POLY-TICKS Is anyone else freaked out by the creepy Perry for gov commercials with his insane googly eyes and slicked down toupee staring into the camera from six inches away promising to be a baby trump? Read the room brother. I'm all for giving everyone a chance, but there seem to be more dementia patients running for office than usual. They are really hurting the reputation of legitimately challenged folks.
Telling the truth for once, marmie indicated that "intelligence played no role in his decision, based on a feeling, to invade Iran." This was after his stellar and questionable patriot tu-tu grabber admitted on record that her intelligence briefings to the boss did not indicate any imminent threat. You know since we destroyed all their nuclear capability last June? Just looks a bunch of cosplaying by the powers that be with our military and real people dying for no particular reason while the world reels due to oil shortages.
DRIVING DOWN When you keep cars forever you have to pay the piper now and then. My old Impala is now sporting brand new feet (tires) and shapewear (shocks and struts). We immediately tested it by driving I75 to Bay City and beyond where the roads rival the worst Lansing has to offer. 75 around Flint is also a pothole looking for a road. The auto shop said the car should drive like a dream. The first road trip was more of a nightmare. And fun fact, Bay City supplements its coffers by charging to drive over one of its bridges. Since you are surrounded by water it can be pretty lucrative. And to make it even more convenient, it's all handled electronically with an invoice mailed to your home. Like the proverbial small town speed trap, out-of-towners pay $5.50 a trip (each way!). The locals know how to dodge it, but when caught pay about $2. Hopefully they will apply the windfall to their roads.
ROLLING ON JP bowled his first tournie. Though he didn't burn up the lanes he ended up beating his average most of the nine games. Though I rather think hanging with his teammates as they went swimming, roaming the halls of the hotel and eating hot dogs at a lakeside cook-out were more of an appeal. But he did agree to join a summer league. His teammates' father coaches bowling at a local high school, so we get the benefit of his guidance as well as Grandpa's weekly coaching sessions. Long afternoon sent me for popcorn a couple of times garnering the life story of the snack lounge proprietor. I don't know how I always end up hearing about occupations and "hazards" they have experienced. This dude was an ex-lumberjack and had the injuries to prove it. It is so ironic that they talk about their injuries at the same time they complain about the safety equipment. That was my career. Hollering down a well of defiant accident victims ready to prove me right.
Six Big10's in the Sweet Sixteen! Peace out/Stay strong/Love your neighbor/Eat more cake. 💚 💙💛
