I love a good Reuben sandwich. This one from Mimi’s Deli in the Hixson community of Chattanooga is quite tasty. Paired with fresh cut french fries makes for a great lunch to power the day’s activities.

Daily Prompt – My First Computer
My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20 which preceded the popular Commodore 64. It was a Christmas gift to me in 1982. I loved that machine because you could learn to program and play games. It was an 8-bit system, and it used a cassette tape drive and cartridges like a video game. It was also at a great price point of under $300 at the time. Furthermore, it really did a great job of getting technology to the people. Thanks to my mom and dad for gifting it to me and making me a happy boy.
Resistance Birds
People have started using their state birds as Rebel Alliance–inspired symbols (from Star Wars) to say, “this is where I am, and I’m not okay with what’s happening.” This is the Mockingbird from Tennessee.
Cold
America is a cold place where ICE does things that freeze the soul. Nostalgia can be a dual-edged sword, but I long for days when there was warmth and sanity. There is so much going on that leaves a tear to the eye and a clenching of the heart. Life is hard, and the struggle is indeed real. It seems like Winter is everywhere and people are stuck out in the cold. Too many lives have perished in it. I wonder if the future is going to be frigid like the present. Friends safety comes from being out in from the cold. May no one else lose their lives and may they be safe. It’s cold, and I wonder when it will be warm again.
I Stand With Minnesota
Minneapolis and Minnesota did not ask for the crap it’s going through. The violence and murders have to stop. I hope for peace and safety for the people there.
It’s Cold Outside
We had a winter weather weekend with a wintery mix of precipitation and freezing temps. Today has started below freezing. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the week goes. Stay warm everyone.
