My best friend took the photo and I've spent the past few days editing everything and making it perfect. Thank you so much @A.B Owings for you help and extra support reminding me it was good enough 🖤🖤🖤
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

I agree! Growing up we boiled our own maple syrup in a sap shack in Northern Michigan over a wood burning stove and a large, shallow evaporation bath. We also went out, sometimes twice a day, to collect the sap from a nearby maple grove. You cannot beat that flavor because it also had a slightly smokey hint from the wood fire.
Michael- That's an important highlight right now in the world of syrup. Because of reverse osmosis technology in the industry, big sugar makers can remove 90% of water without boiling! And then they finish it on a gas-fired rig. No smoke... That's pretty much an entirely different product.
There's also the carmalization that occurs with a 24hr boil on inconsistent heat that adds body. It's a similar concept to brewing a beer where both over, and under boiling the wort, especially if using industrially created malt extracts can totally change the flavor.
Fun fact, we used to boil hot dogs in the sap for a delicious lunch while boiling / cutting wood, etc.
