Ketchup tastes nothing like a tomato, much like cherry Jolly Ranchers taste nothing like a cherry.I know, but, I'm not afraid of you either.It's probably the guy that @JenniferS hired to back up her love for ketchup and hatred for tomatoes like they are two different things. In other words... just a joke.
I know, but, I'm not afraid of you either.
Try it without the tomato... it's suspiciously like vinegar. So take out the part that tastes like vinegar and you have... surprise... tomatoes.
Not debating that you don't need tomatoes to make ketchup - I'm just agreeing that the final product tastes nothing like the principal ingredient.Try it without the tomato... it's suspiciously like vinegar. So take out the part that tastes like vinegar and you have... surprise... tomatoes.
I have to take an expressway to get to work. If there's an accident blocking several lanes, my phone will have me get off and then have me get back on past the problem. It's lovely.
I hear ya, though. There's two main routes I can use to get to school, but if there's problems, there are alternate backroutes..
Adult coloring is supposed to improve hand/eye coordination and focus.I found a calendar for 2017, it's a coloring calendar. Can you say I'm going into my second childhood?
To bring in locals who would otherwise pass it up, Black Friday makes perfect sense. Some of those businesses also need to make up for when they have low revenue coming in.
It looks like summer there.
Great! I need to improve focus, I'm more scattered than usual. That sure is a positive for me. My hand eye thingy is not too good either. I love that you looked up the info. You are so helpful. A big thanks!
Good for you. We exchange Christmas lists with the kids on Thanksgiving . We have around one month to shop for the 4 of them. I'm so not a shopper. Hubby loves to shop. Sometimes I go with him and walk, while he shops!
Nice scenery.Cool!
The way this highway is set up (and, again, the other optional routes are sooo far out of the way - although I have used them before in a pinch when particular lanes on my main route were closed due to a bad accident, etc.), it seems to be more about aesthetics than actually moving massive amounts of traffic. It's definitely not a freeway/expressway. It has only 2 lanes running each direction, a shoulder, a large "natural" median, and traffic lights. No off or on ramps, no access roads, no clover leafs.
I think back in the day when it was first being planned, nobody could even imagine how much developement there would eventually be out that far west of Austin proper.
It is indeed a beautiful drive, but, when you're stuck in a traffic jam at night on your way home, and as far as you can see there are nothing but headlights coming from the other direction, and tail lights in front of you, it's a bit annoying.
To add even just one more lane in each direction, in the section I drive, would cost millions upon millions. The cutting through more of the hills, the widening of all the bridges across all the creeks and the river/lake, etc.
A $720 million transportation bond was passed by voters on Nov. 8th. All I could find in it for that section of road was a few million for improvements to one intersection. How they're going to "improve" that intersection beyond what they've already done, I have no clue.
Here are some pics of the section I drive...

And, here's a map. I drive approximately the middle 2/3rds of the section of the road highlighted on the left...

We do something every year for SIL. Last year, he got tons of left over Halloween suckers, it turned out very heavy. He didn't have a clue, it was a gift card. Thanks for the idea we have a left over T.V. box in the basement. I have several magazines I need to get rid of....
