President Xi Arrives To Inspect Newest Chinese Colony

Sometimes I wonder if the writers at BB know things about the future that we don't.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

They're just observing the present.

I don't get it.
Chick-Fil-A is notorious for long drive-through lines. So if you're going to be there anyway, you may as well get some work done.
Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Long lines, but Jesus Chik'n moves those lines faster than anyone else.

We had a fire drill at our one office the other week. Had us outside for quite awhile because they were doing inspections, as well.

When we went back in they had CFA chicken and sausage biscuits for us.

I'm still not sure why CFA biscuits are so freaking popular. They're OK, but they're no better, really, than the ones McDonald's has.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera

Chick-Fil-A is notorious for long drive-through lines. So if you're going to be there anyway, you may as well get some work done.

At work, we currently have an application from the local Chick-fil-A to replace the canopy over their drive-thru window. The work will require closing down the drive-thru for the duration (unspecified) of the construction process. The line, especially at lunch time, is always insanely long and the restaurant is on a very busy road that is a numbered state highway (not limited access). So we asked them to submit a traffic plan so we could have some assurance that the line wouldn't spill over onto the state road and create more of a traffic headache than we already have.

After two MONTHS of silence, we finally had a response last week that said (paraphrased), "We're not adding any parking so what's the problem? Can we have our permit now?"

Ummm . . . no. How about answering the question?
