Just programmed a month's worth of chicken fried steak into the other social. Because I mean, IDK, I just really like chicken fried steak.

I have a woodpecker, just doing his thing, happily hammering away at 6:53. Every. Single. Morning. His clicking away is now my alarm.

My public page on the other social promotes local foodways and restaurants, with tourism both culinary and otherwise thrown in. Today, I've received numerous insults, a threat by a man who wanted to use his belt on me, and another whose suggestion "my dick would fix you." Blocked. Tired. Done.

I don't think I'd make a good congressperson. I like hanging out in my own state too much. Enjoy spending time with the people who live here.

On the other social this morning, people are arguing with me whether visiting local restaurants is politics.

LOL. Hunter's finally stuck at 1701 boxes sold in Girl Scout Cookie sales. Fitting! Sales end soon - $6 a box delivered anywhere in the U.S. #girlscoutcookies #startrek digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/hunter...

I am bothered that a country's elected leaders would choose to take such actions that would drastically affect the weakest, oldest, and youngest of us. Christ would be flipping tables.

Being flirted with is just such a weird thing. I don't usually catch the clues, but when I do, it's an odd affirmation that hey, this old girl has a little something left in the tank. ... though, frankly, it is weird more flirts come from women as I grow older.

Troop #6400 will be selling Girl Scout Cookies at the Kroger on McCain 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday and at the Indian Hills Kroger noon-4 p.m. on Sunday. These are the only two cookie booth days for our trio of OG Scouts. Cookies are $6 a box. We're selling ABC Bakery cookies this year.

So this is it. Constantino's Italian Restaurant was in the 400 block of Garrison Avenue in downtown Fort Smith. It opened in 1896 as a general store and eventually transitioned to a restaurant famous for hickory smoked ribs, spaghetti, rye bread, and beans. Menu - 1950s. Photo, 1976, U of A.

I'm having an obsessive compulsive, deep dive morning looking into the history of an Italian restaurant serving barbecue in the 1890s. It's quite the surprise.

I wonder how much people are going to argue with me if I point out the first known barbecue restaurant in Arkansas might have been in Fort Smith... better get four or five sources to make sure I have this right first...

I keep finding references (all post-2000) saying Fayetteville had no barbecue restaurants before B&B BBQ in 1960. And then digging through Library of Congress listings in old phone books, I find this, Fayetteville 1947. Man, I wonder if there's an extant menu somewhere. M&L Cafe listed until 1953.

I flirt too much for my own good. Or I'm not really flirting, I'm just really awkward and it comes across in a flirtatious manner. Who's to say?

USPS has lost eight separate packages I've sent since Christmas. EIGHT. UPS has lost a case of books. It at least worked with me and got a claim through. This is so damn frustrating.

Hunter's Girl Scout troop only has a single weekend of booths set up - this Saturday at McCain Kroger, and this Sunday at Indian Hills Kroger. We're hoping the weather cooperates. If you'd like cookies sent directly to you, here's that link. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/hunter...

February 19th is a National Day of Remembrance for one of our darkest chapters - the day FDR signed E.O. 9066, which lead to the forced relocation and incarceration of thousands of Japanese-American citizens One of the camps was at Rohwer, where @georgetakei.bsky.social and his family were held.

There's no pressure like peer pressure... unless it's pressure your own words put on you for later. Lordy, I got a couple books to write, like, yesterday. Onward.

Hope you're okay with free rambling tonight, Bluesky, because my level of focus has hit negative numbers and you're all sitting ducks for my pontifications.

My own aunt just likened PBS to a "misappropriation of funds." Glad to know the programs I've been part of with PBS are wastes of money and time. Thanks, Aunt Bev.

I have filled out my second grant application in two weeks. I mean, there's little to no chance someone would willingly grant me funds as an artist, and yet I persevere.

A reminder - Hunter's selling #GirlScoutCookies and hopes to earn enough to send the other two members of Troop #6400 to camp this year. Boxes are $6 each, delivered anywhere in the contiguous United States, and donated boxes are happily accepted. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/hunter...

sigh I know times are tough, but damn if two of my regular article editors didn't cut pay on the pieces they asked for before I turned them in. I need more gigs, better paying gigs, more book sales, or some public speaking. And soon.

If you have a Kroger account and are in the Little Rock metro, you should know that right now there's a weekly deal on the app for 18 large white eggs for $3.99 - but it's only good through this evening and while supplies last. Colony West was almost out of the eggs on special

If you're in Pulaski County and you need Girl Scout cookies, please consider ordering from Jayden. They can deliver, and they haven't been able to get a single order yet. Let's support them! digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/isabel...
