I kind of like the look of these Air Speed jerseys, but holy schnikes does someone need to work on their white balance

We often include beets in our organic garden, chemicals are the debil. They are an easy to grow superfood, and for the first time we're going to plant another batch for a fall harvest. This year also we tried this striped variety, looks pretty cool. Coasting would approve.

I ran competitively in college and for many years afterward and swam Masters (very badly) for a couple of seasons. I also regard boat racing as an endurance sport, but you can't do it often enough to treat anxiety. It does, however, have the benefit of making you fear realistically for your life at times, which is balm to the neurotic soul.

Verizon is now admitting that it is having a system-wide problem activating devices. Maybe I will finally regain phone service some time today. Or maybe not.

My favorite local restaurant is Lebanese. I like everything but the wine list, which is all Lebanese and uniformly bad.

Confirmation that if you do too many likes, the "like" button below threads no longer is shown. I believe it will reset the next day.

I suppose I should post a bug report for that, but I doubt it would get fixed.

Great. The Older Boy finally replaced his aging iPhone 5, and that may explain why the new one doesn't ring.

We maybe grew up in the same house. Oh wait. We called them red eggs. And still do, actually. My sisters still make them.

This reminds me of a video I just watched. Has anyone ever done breathing exercises? I'm not even sure what they're supposed to accomplish. This guy supposedly ran a marathon on ice, barefoot, and other crazy stuff.

Another fun fact: I went and took back a like and now I have the like option back. The counter goes both ways, it seems.

The area I grew up in had a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch, who tend to make all kinds of pickles, probably dating back to pre-refrigeration practices from The Old Country, but of course the Amish and Old Order Mennonites don't do refrigeration still, so they still pickle.
And then sell to "The English" who visit the area.

I sauté them in Evoo with garlic till tender, add a little salt, tasty.
Mrs BD has a technique to cook them together with the root, but that’s above my pay grade. Very tasty.

That reminds me that my first real gf was of Lebanese/Italian descent. Her father owned a restaurant.

Some of my way back ancestors lived in @datlas' neck of the woods. Others in eastern Pennsylvania. Berks County, iirc
