My wife was raised in a little town in the mountains south of Matagalpa. She never heard the word pavo growing up. And they commonly ate chompipe on special occasions, like celebrations of the...

Welfare by another name. In the US 52.2 million (2012 census) were on welfare (40 million on SNAP (food debit card)) which was 17%. 52% (more than half) of American kids live in homes with someone...

Wild turkeys (used to be the only brand of bourbon I'd drink) are all around this area. One hen with 4-6 healthy chicks wandered right up to our door. They've got a strong lift for flight, but then...

Hypnotic. Eine Donnerbüchse voll in Fahrt. My 5-yr-old son watched it with me. We put pennies and cordovas on the tracks near us to collect & marvel at them, squashed & stretched. Enormous...

Funny stuff. But the laugh track is laid on too heavy, IMO. For too many TV is a solitary experience. Laughing - without others, an audience, to share it with - is, in some ways, unnatural. ...

One of the best moves the FBI made was to located their newest headquarters complex in West Virginia. Though quite controversial at the time, they escaped the dull hangers-on who'd migrated from the...

Masochist. It's a done deal in the House. The only drama to be seen is how the Senate dismisses it, unless Don T totally loses his cool before then.

I was enpeached, by the fuzz. Picked peaches...

My ex-boss in Delaware always deep fried his stuffed, 15-18 lb, Thanksgiving turkeys in peanut oil, which takes a higher temperature without smoking. Seals in the juices, crispy skin - best I'd...

Returning to the 2019 origin of this 2017 thread pothole: “Voltz most likely didn't do it.” That was my impression at the time. His alibi that he was elsewhere, in Managua, at the time she was...

This discussion about the difficulties of ‘taming’ much of Nicaragua with modern machinery reminds me of the raw strength of Nature and of how much of Nicaragua is effectively ‘uncivilized’...

Eating pizza in Leon is a family affair. It may be a special night out or a 'feast' delivered. And it's eaten smothered in catsup or ketchup (the word originally referred to a paste made from...

Before Pizza Hut took over a prominent corner in downtown Leon, they forced the local Pizza Hot to change its name. The Hut has quality pizza and good delivery, but is a bit pricey and eating in the...

I'm myopic - I see all as if it were an impressionistic painting. Deductive reasoning then makes sense of the smear - elementary.

El Camino Chileno The Chilean way, once held to be an economic success story for all of LAm to emulate, is deteriorating - that's my WAG
