We were talking about large numbers and one person remembered this.
"A phrase from George O. Smith of Venus Equilateral fame: "Congressional numbers". You tell them by the hollow whooshing sound of all of the zeroes going by." Sounds like it may need reviving.
When I was in college, I worked in a dive bar in Times Square. It was pre-Disney and I wore leotards. I was working on Christmas day and one of my customers brought me a cup of coffee and then bought me a shot of Sambuca to put in it. I didn't usually drink at work, but it was Christmas and the coffee/Sambuca combo was divine. It might make a nice Italian coffee
A story about Irish Coffee should mention San Francisco, The Buena Vista, and Toscas. So I did. It's a perfect starter for a chilly morning in San Francisco.
In other words any morning in SF, except the 3 days that are randomly warm. I love that city but you better bring a windbreaker and/or fleece jacket. It is ever so often cold and damp.
We don't have anything like that going on in the United States right now, where Donald admitted the Afghan man who shot the servicewoman and now is all Goebbels Miller
"all asylum will be paused indefinitely"
but hopes people don't hear the whispered
"Except for White South Afrikaaans even though the government in charge in South Africa has vehemently denied any repression of White people"
Of course - in teh mind of any racis, "repression of White people" means "White people can't just beat on anyone else without punishment or take everything they can from people who are other than White without any consequences"

The passivity/complicity in this country can be really upsetting at times
Not everyone is passive or complicit. Today I saw a delivery guy chase a car, blowing his whistle, pounding on the car, trying to tear the windshield wiper off the back window. Then he started yelling that the car was ICE. I took out my phone to start filming, but the car took off with the delivery guy in pursuit. I wish I had a whistle...
I did a substack page this morning - there's a lot of cat for Caturday, plus, the world's largest loaf of bread! There's a horse in glorious slow motion and a thoughtful buzzard, letting us know what's on his mind. There's even more stuff than that! You should go look!
The paragraph about the coffee (where it starts with "Coffee: Use your favorite. It should be good coffee....") can be used again with one word substitution. Wherever the word 'coffee' appears substitute the words "mommy blog".

The best (and strongest) Irish Coffee I've ever had was at the Demel cake cafe in Vienna.
Sadly, it's an extremely rare drink here in Japan. Have only found it once, and it wasn't very good. Guess I need to try making it at home.

Ta, Hooper. I didn't see this earlier.
Mmmm, yummy!
I like...well, liked, mine with Irish Mist. I had the glasses/cups and all. A favorite at many a party, once upon a time. Thanks for the memory.

Layers were the key for me. A light leather jacket is perfect for SF fog.
There's a demonstration in Paris

Also, I think this is where the guy and the ICE car came from: https://www.mediaite.com/media/watch-anti-ice-protestors-arrested-for-throwing-planters-and-chasing-feds-in-new-york-city/
This was the go-to for New-Year's in Bagels' house. One of the first times a very young Bagels was very drunk, also, too. *eyeroll*
What about Tullamore Dew? I didn't know if it's a good whiskey, I just like the name.
It's a decent whiskey, yes. I like Jameson better but both are quite drinkable.

He might come to regret the name change. No such thing as Defense Crimes. lol
I saw that gif on Betty Bowers page
That's much better

Elon Musk’s dad, Errol Musk, says the U.S. will go “back to the jungle” if white people become a minority.
BTW, I always hated that song/band
They’re only 34% in California, so…

Irish Mommy Blog is best!
