Ooodle -- 1:19

Farked up the math on the first try and got a =/=

Mystery solved. Chair asked me to drop by for a meeting after classes.
Taught on a serious, serious role, and adjunct reality came back. Got my non-retention "you're not coming" back notice. Scheduled for Valentine's Day, but we did it more efficiently, I guess. ISU really should follow the example of other schools and not bother with that ****.

Someone complained about Z being in class. I guess we have HR forms coming for whatever purpose.
All in all, a nice kick to the junk before Z's afternoon classes and Drake's classes today. No worries. It will still be awesome, but I'm adding an extra chip to my shoulder today.

Wet ice is slicker due to less resistance than dry ice. That is the basics of it.

The Canadians needed another reason to drink beer. I was really disappointed when the U.S won gold that they didn't pull a cooler out and pop a cold one. That would have been a marketing bonanza.

So what are they doing with that scrubby thing? Drying the ice to slow it down?

Opposite. The quick and hard brushing actually warms the very top surface up and make a very thin layer of liquid to make the stone go farther/faster. They can turn it slightly with making one side go faster.

VFW near me is doing a chili cookoff on Super bowl Sunday. Trying to decide if I should do it. Would most likely need to make a roaster full which considering beef prices

Do the vegan route or hit it will some spicy sausage chunks/ground pork or so and maybe even a little shredded chicken if you season it right?

EDIT: I might even try the spicy pork chili this weekend myself

I've thought about trying to come up with a Cajun chicken chili. I would need to experiment with that on myself first.

Spoiler: Not my best effort.
