2. :-) Good grief

Over here in our little corner of the UK, it's been a BOILING 75 degrees a couple of days this summer, and an UNBEARABLE 80 degrees one day so far. We're in for a rude awakening, I'm sure!
Thanks for the welcome, can't wait. First stop: Mexican food. Second stop: Cracker Barrel...

5. Gah. Why them?

Cracker Barrel is nasty nasty nasty.

And I don't mean the food, because I've never eaten there (and will never). They're owned by closed-minded assholes, and either fire anyone gay, or make their lives a living hell in the meantime.

There's plenty of places to get great home cooking in Texas, some even Dem owned.

Welcome back, ya'll!

3. Just 10 minutes ago I was wondering about you

On the way here, I stopped by my DU mailbox and noticed an old message exchange and wondered if you were here yet.

Glad to see you have things underway, even a menu plan. Cracker Barrel is a favorite of mine too, just wish they'd build in town. I can probably tell you where every one is between here and the Great Lakes, lol.

As you know, August is just wonderful here, so here's the Harris County Democratic Party's August calendar, so you can get out and play in the (ahem) balmy weather.

4. Thank you merci_me

for your kind thoughts. I think August might be a bit busy for us, sorting out a rent house and all, but September should be good!
