So, what are you gonna have for lunch today ?
I was thinking about a Caesar Salad with grilled shrimp, or maybe go to one of the coal-fired pizza places and treat myself (they’re pretty expensive, but worth it every so often).
For dinner, I’m considering…… oh wait, the Broward Republican Executive Committee meeting is tonight…… Gonna have to grab something on the go.
Cheers !

And what do you have against goats, by the way? Me, I’m thinking that this guy gets all sows instead of goats.
I'm disappointed in your choice of shrimp

Incidentally, I doubt that those are goats he meets. More like pigs.

BELLVILLE — A family dispute pushed Maron Thomas to go on a rampage marked by a fury so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete after killing her and four other family members, Austin County investigators said Wednesday.
===========
Decapit…… Beheaded.
Paragraph 10: Thomas’ sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.
===========
An American Muslim beheaded a two year old girl.
In Texas.
He’s still breathing our air.

I’d like to congratulate all L.E.O.’s involved for proving that restraint and self-control is indeed the hallmark of the job. I don’t have the slightest idea how they do it sometimes.
Translation: I’m gobsmacked that this “man” didn’t ‘resist arrest’….. and resist a whole bunch….. Ten hours worth of ‘resisting’ would be a good starting point.
Few things brighten the day like....

A Virginia man who once spent eight years on the run from naval investigators was arrested in Somerset County early today with a trove of high-powered weapons, including a grenade-launcher and two assault rifles, along with maps of a U.S. military base and a civilian neighborhood, authorities said.
Paragraph Five: Mixed in among Woodson’s belongings, the prosecutor said, was a Middle Eastern, red-and-white traditional headdress.

In Noo Joisey, it’s a major felony for any civilian to possess even one round of JHP ammo (hollow point), regardless of owning a firearm.
