And yes, these were remarkable (because they're Tex-Mex single chip style as opposed to pile everything on the chip bed)

Greetings from the Martin Luther King, Jr National Historical Park. We didn't get to spend enough time here when we visited in 2018, so hopefully we can take more in this time.

Oh it's chemistry dot com, a short lived match dot com spinoff. Fun fact, I'm very good friends with one of her cousins but did not find that out until later.

So @edsbs.bsky.social and @hollyanderson.bsky.social , we're at The Center for Puppetry Arts here in Atlanta and my son insisted that I take this photo to send to you so you know you can make this dream happen from gift shop purchases.

Traditional khakis have to be dark khaki (British military as opposed to sand), uncomfortable fabric (no wicking, no four way stretch), pleated, and hitting at the shoes. In my experience at least. My current khaki choices do very little of that and have flex waist.

The Sock Puppets have seven runs on three four hits thanks to three Axmen errors and a three run eighth where all three runs were walked in with the bases loaded. Just added a fourth on a sac fly to go up 8-5

So Socksquatch, the mascot here in Burlington , is a giant furry green monster, covered in socks. His uniform number is 2319, which is an exceedingly clever reference once I looked it up.
