QFT. Biologically, my father was black. My mother is third generation Italian-American. Adoptive-wise was the exact opposite. (What were the odds of that?) From the very beginning I grew up with (i.e., lived around, was friends with, went to school with, etc.) nearly every type of person (racially, ethnically, religiously, etc.) one could possibly imagine. And yet I still have some biases.

Entering my b’day long weekend. Yep, in our family it goes on for days. Lemon custard cake ordered. Eating out tonight at the Armadillo Palace. Much better than it sounds. Family at our house tomorrow night for meatballs and spaghetti. Chef SIL invited us to a wine event his company is catering on Saturday night and to a family outing at the catering company on Sunday. I just hope we have time to catch a bite to eat being that busy and all.

Please don't take this the wrong way because I think that is a marvellous shot, but the majority of rail lines where I live have steel sleepers which have replaced the timber ones over the past decade. Has the US done the same on any linesor is the shot representative of what still exists?

I have a weak preference for gay on that test. I don't know what it means. I have a gay brother and and typical lib attitudes, which might have something to do with it. However, the funny thing is that I have, or at least used to have, some conscious anti-gay feelings. I guess it's possible that biases may be shifting, as everything becomes more and more politically polarized. That is, which ever side you're on, you now identify more strongly, buy into the whole platform, and react negatively to anything associated with the other side.
