The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Happy Saturday!!! Guess who went grocery shooping yesterday and didn't buy eggs and salsa. If I think effectively enough, I might recall something else that I didn't buy, too. I also noticed that supplies were down, but I was out of a lot of stuff, so I needed to go regardless.


The USSR was like invading Outer Space for the Germans going in. Fuck the politics, I'm talking about just guys in the army, trying to do as they're told and not get blown up doing it. Everything the Germans had heard about the Soviet Workers' Paradise didn't compute based on what they experienced. It was a shitshow right outta the gate.


And the Mosin is a shitty rifle in every sense. Old design unmodified, ugly, clunky to operate, difficult to reload correctly, possible to jamb it up on a reload and render it useless . . . but it worked as a general rule. Very indicative of the old Soviet system, as is the AK that followed. The US military in that war was blessed with the best individual soldier arms available, bar none. They weren't perfect, but they were much better than the standard arms of the enemy, and generally were better than their experimental arms, too.


We have standard issue coffee this morning, and it's getting the job done. There's going to be standard issue laundry to do later. Living the Dream here, kids!!!

I have been to buc-ees once..... I loved it. They are apparently opening one in ohio
I’ve never been, she’s stopped at the one in Crossvile. I’ve heard they are building one here in Murfreesboro. I honestly don’t see the appeal? Don’t hate me. Too many people in one place. And do you really need that many gas pumps?


All the pumps are about keeping the flow of people moving. It's fast paced. Not too crowded early in the morning. They just opened one Out West maybe 25 miles from the farm. It's an interesting business model. The food is pretty good, there's always a place to pee and the bathroom cleanliness is unsurpassed. Hey. Mom likes it even.
