Maybe you could buy and display a Ukraine flag?

I bought a small one that I mounted on my mailbox on the street.

"I need ammunition, not a ride."

New @AP reporting tonight: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. An American official tells me Zelenskyy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

I just ordered a small Ukrainian flag to mount on my mailbox.

Any fans of Chef John here?

He's on YouTube.
Hundreds of recipe videos.
We've used many of his recipes and never a clunker.

I'm old enough to remember when politics stopped at our shoreline.

We always presented a united front to foreign countries, friend or foe.
Neither party would never EVER criticize or attack a sitting president when our country was involved with foreign relations of any sort.

My, my how things have changed.

Router/modem help

We're getting c-spire glass fiber in our neighborhood.
Do I need a router AND a modem, or is there a combo like I have with DSL?
I'm 80 and not that computer literate.
Thanks

We got a smoker.

Electric.
Digital time and temp.
OK, I know...smoke is BAD for you.
I'm 80 years old so...meh.
I'm on the downhill slope anyway.


A turkey breast to die for.
Dry brined with spices for 24 hours.
Smoked for 6 hours.
Heavenly.

Pork loin?
WHOA!
