Been to five of these: 9 Iconic Restaurants From Tucson’s Past https://tucsonfoodie.com/2015/09/17/9-iconic-restaurants-from-tucsons-past/ I've been to every one of those nine restaurants. I think its a stretch to call the Bum Steer a restaurant, but they had food and it wasn't bad. I guess it was ...

Since it appeared in the peanut butter aisle, it gave consumers license to regard Nutella as a food, as in Italy. That was Ferrero Rocher's explicit strategy over which it has been sued and forced to 'mend its ways' (oh, sure). It is close to 60% sugar and the number two ingredient is Palm Oil. The...

Lots of stuff absorbs mercury from water. The question is whether it will absorb a lot of mercury relative to its own mass, and those chemists didn't mention that.

Don't think so, RR isn't Larry (take the midnight train to sc) Smith. The Tucson to LA train left at 8:00p.m. I took that train several times.

Sh*t, RR at USC would be a nightmare for Arizona and the Pac-12. Imagine him running his Offense and the 3-3-5 with those type of athletes. This, I fear. I can't see that happening.

That is a pretty good list for expansion. Of the candidates that didn't get a mention, I would think that 'flying disk' would be the only other 'world' sport.

LAX is far and away the worst airport in the world - especially Tom Brady which is just a shit hole pure and simple. It has no competition.

Arroyo in SoCal Meh. In Tucson there are nuances within nuances. A 'wash' is a desert stream bed. A 'Dry wash' is a needlessly redundant formal term for the same thing. An arroyo on the other hand is a desert stream bed. See? They are completely different. A wash with water in it is a 'flash flood'...
