Due to it's marketing as "America's #1 Beer", Budweiser is actually the #1 Beer in other countries. Countries where they think it's good, because it's American. Sort of the same way that Americans like imported brands. We like our Japanese food, French perfume, German cars, Italian suits, and canned beans from England. In my opinion, Heinz missed the mark with the 4 pack. They could sell a lot more cans of beans in The USA, if they sold them in 6 packs. Americans like 6 packs. Soda and beer come in 6 packs. Beans should be in a 6 pack.

The news had a story about the Burning Man festival. At the end of the story, the reporter said that President Biden has been briefed and he is monitoring the situation. I am personally relieved, now that I know that The President is keeping his eye on Burning Man. Now I can rest easy, and get back to eating cans of beans.

So, how many men did they burn at the Burning man event? Oh wait, what happens there stays there. Never mind.
I'll never understand the hot dog to hot dog bun ratio. Makes no sense to me at all.

Billionaires, power brokers, and bankers ... working in tandem with the CIA and other sympathetic agents of the government, are the people behind the conspiracy. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns Kraft Heinz Company. They sell us Beanz. With a "Z". There is a letter "z" in Heinz. Kraft begins with the letter "K". There is a "K in a circle" symbol on the can of beans. In A Circle!! KHC. Kraft Heinz Co. There is a circle at the end. x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 !!!! Warren Buffett. Jimmy Buffett. Now Jimmy Buffett is dead! Jimmy Buffett shot JFK. And now he is dead.

The high today is predicted to be 92. So, we had two days of 80's weather, and now heading back up to high 90's.

DMV tells me everything is being held up pending the passing of a smog test.
Good news is the truck ran fine all the way there and back until I pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex. then it started acting up. Turned it off, and then on, and it ran fine again. Strange truck. Talked a mobile mechanic at my church, and he has a friend who might be able to do the timing chain swap instead of engine swap. He will ask him what he would charge. He thinks somewhere around $1,400. And with parts at $547 that is just over $2,000. Don't have that yet, but with one of my credit cards and what I have received from Go Fund Me, I am at $1,100. Will know more this Sunday. Talke to the mechanic brothers who did the work on the truck so far, and they requested a pic of the door sticker with the VIN on it. So they are still looking for an engine. Whichever option is cheaper, and/or lets me park the truck anywhere but here while waiting to get the work done is what I will choose. Don't need the truck towed from my own carport because the temp permit expires.
