Just before pumped day,
John the Baptist for Friday'
Our favorite flyday.

If only I was a poet I could get to where I want to go.
As far as I can determine the main objectives of these progressives is getting a rid of Capitalism as the US economic system. In their efforts to soothe the onus of thhe word communism, they go back about 70 years to resurrect the Joe McCarthy era. How trite. How many countries since then have failed under the rule of communism. Yes, they espoue contempt for the rich and capitalism, but they have never rejects a million or so form wealthy benefactors
I never saw the attraction of Mexican food. And now I'm glad I didn't.
My friend was telling me about a salmon that could break into safes... Turned out to be a lox myth.

Talk about new career paths, how about Amanda Knox and her new Comedy Show. Yes she is in England doing standup about her travails in Italy. One of her funny lines: "Congratulations Amanda, you're not guilty, you're just unsettling to the general public". I don't think I'll be stealing her material. Fame begets money.
I like salmon, but it is difficult what o buy when looking at several varieties in the orange to pink section of the fish counter in a local store. And of courses, price always clouds the decision. First you have to wrestle between wild caught and Atlantic farmed. Farmed is cheaper and flavorful, fattier for cooking, but wild caught has a very distinctive enjoyable taste, Wild tends to be lean and demands more careful cooking. Popular wild caught are Coho, Sockeye, Pink Chum and the most expensive but very good King Chinook. I like Coho but would eat any of them
One of the current ongoing arguments around DC is the status of the US weapons Stockpile. Defensive weaponry like the Patriot Missile seem to be in the weakest condition. That's something you don't like hearing when global tensions are high. But, Russia must have a bigger problem because Ukraine missiles don't seem to have problems hitting targets throughout Russia. These missile assorted longdistance weapons are reallly expenseve some into Millions per. If we can possibly have a missile shortage after a relatively small skirmish in Iran think about the massive consumption of missiles in a WWIII scenario,
A grizzly walks to the checkout line with salmon and honey. The clerk says, "Gotcha. Just the bear necessities."
Too many companies and institutions are asking me to for things online, and I can't tell the difference between legitimate and scams. So, I don't do anything.
Next Tuesday's Primary in Minn seems interesting. One of the six Repubs is Mike Lindell, But he is languishing. The other big name in the race is popular Dem Amy Klobachar and she seems solidly in front. The events of the last year have made the Land of 10,000 lakes a spotlight state for politics, and I'm sure a focus of the WH. I prefer to think of it as a good place for ice fishing and Mary Tyler Moore.
Tonight I made salmon for supper. As it was gently cooking in a warm bath of garlic, herbs, lemon, wine, and onion I got a visit from a Fish and Wildlife officer. He said “sir we have reason to believe that salmon has been poached”
If the admin didn't talk so much, there wouldn't be so many questions.
The Answer:
The most expensive is the LGM 35 Sentinel at $168 Million per. Next is Trident (Navy Subs) $86M, NGI (Next Generation Interceptor) $111M, Standard Missile 3 (SM3) $28-40M, THAAD $13M, Patriot $4-7M, and Tomahawk $3.7M. What do you think a progressive takeover would do to the defense budget.,
For me this rocket is worth waiting for:
