@thedisasterautist PS: Monroe is where The Swiss Colony is based. Remember the mail order catalogs for meat and cheese? That's them.

@thedisasterautist LOL. wow. Decatur is a co-op! I'found them back in....2006, I think. Back then, the store was a little room right off the working area, and the fresh curds were in plastic baggies with twist tie tops! Literally made the day before.

The gal there asked me if I had been to Monroe, and told me to go try Baumgardner's in the town square. I later found out it'd been on "The Best Of" on Food Network. I got a Havarti on pumpernickel, warmed. Best cheese sammich I'd ever had.

@thedisasterautist If you get a chance, I'd 100% recommend making a detour to Brodhead, WI. There's a cheese/dairy there called Decatur Dairy, and they have awesome (award-winning) baby swiss, fresh cheese curds, funky bleu cheese, etc. My fav is the Muenster - I slice it thick and make grilled cheese with it or the Butterkase. YUM.

Yes, I have driven 6 hours one way from St Louis to get $60 of cheese from them. Worth it.

@Gladari I think they're starting to realize that we arn't going to be smug and say "I told you so" to their faces.

Maybe in private, but not in public.

I see more "Thank you" and "Welcome" than anything.

#RIP Teri Garr. Yikes.

@mcfate yup

@peterquirk that's.....not the ISS.

@guinnessphil Arizona has a very large population of people from PR. I think that will help tip it blue.

@joycereynoldsward Happy birthday! 🎂 🎉

@sentientdessert I was out running an errand after work, and this odd set of headlights appeared in my rearview mirror.

Guess what the white line with the dots was!!! The stupidest looking vehicle I've ever seen!! LOLOL

@TomeReader anna's archive. if you are still using the kindle, ou can side load epubs to it via Calibre.

I guess I need to repeat my 'if you are giving a campaign speech/interview/presser, you are not there to say things that you later have to come back and claim were jokes.'

They ARE NOT JOKES. You are NOT A COMEDIAN.

Last night's streak breaker was for Wordle, tonight's streak breaker was for Connections. I am not having a really brainy weekend for games.

@pendrag ah well, sounds like most of the other Central teams lost too, so we didn't lose any ground

@pendrag not when you're already down by 2 on the road. Plus, the #stlblues have a horrible record when they pull the netminder.

@shallotpeelboo I'm so sorry.

I hate pulling the goalie at 4 minutes. it NEVER WORKS. EVER. #cososports #hockey
