They're doing a deep dive on Harris and Trump. So far, I've learned that Kamala fought for the little people since she was 15.
President Trump on the other hand, fought for himself and beat the courts by his shear willpower. Anyway, he's a scoundrel and Harris should be canonized. I'm almost regretting my vote.
I haven't felt like cooking so the chuck roast just sat in the fridge along with the vegetables. Today is the sell by date so I got off my kiester and went to work on it.
It took me an hour to dredge/brown the chuck as well as peel the vegetables.
So now the rutabagas/parsnips/carrots/celery and onions are happily simmering with the beef. I thought about throwing the jalapenos I had in the fridge in, but my neighbor Lynn is allergic to all peppers so I didn't since this 10" dutch oven full of stew is way too much for me.
I do love a beef stew, especially with lots of parsnips!
[FPC News] Savannah, Georgia Drops Prosecution of Gun Owner Following FPC-Backed Def
<p><strong>SAVANNAH, GA </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">(November 1, 2024) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that charges have been dropped against its member, Mr. Deacon Morris, following an FPC-backed defense against the charges that included an affirmative attack on Savannah, Georgia’s gun control ordinance. In the case, the government had been criminally prosecuting Mr. Morris for violating the city’s gun storage ordinance despite Georgia’s firearm preemption law that makes the city’s ordinance invalid. FPC’s defense of Mr. Morris was a parallel action to its </span><a href="https://www.firearmspolicy.org/belt"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Belt v. Savannah</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> case, a civil lawsuit challenging the same ordinance.</span></p>
About 2200 last night my wife started having severe back spasms, She could barely move because of the pain. I took her to the Dorn VA hospital emergency room. When I got her signed in the desk lady handed me a mask and said it was required in the ER there. I told her that I saw at least 5 medical personnel walking around without one. If they don’t have to wear the stupid mask then neither did I. And that was that. I was in no mood for that crap. While we waited some dude came up to the check in window, threw something in one of the ladle’s face and ran away. The cops got him.
They took vitals, urine sample and did a CAT scan of her back. While we waited for the results, I watched a lady die on the ambulance gurney of cardiac arrest at 0107. The result os the cat scan was some deterioration of the spinal area. They gave a shot of anti-inflammatory and some meds to take home. We got home at 0332. I got up at 0600 to feed the cats.
I'm going to make a pot of beef stew so I went to the store.
Parsnips $2.99 a lb.
Rutabagas 2.49
Chuck roast 8.49/lb
It wasn't that long ago when Chuck was $1.30 or so! I walked by the seafood counter and Chilean see bass was $42 a lb. Nope, that'll never get on my list.
I bought a few gold maple leaf coins a few years ago at about $1750/oz as sort of an easily hidden emergency fund. Last week they were up to $2750 or so.
This will be the most expensive beef stew I've ever made. It's sad what they've done to our dollar.
