My old Sunday School teacher, Bulon Senterfitt was a merchant marine in WWII. He was quite a character. He once told me that he had a ring which he had been trying to get off his finger for several weeks.
He went to sleep on a park bench in Manilla and when he awoke the ring was gone (I suspect he was drunk). He was also a professional fighter and a good one. I know he boxed in Madison Square Garden more than once.
Several people claimed he was punch drunk but Daddy knew him when he was a kid and said he was the same way then.
I know everyone on FR declares Anthony Bourdain to be an Uber Liberal and ther is no doubt he has Liberal as well as conservative leanings, but how Conservative is this?
“I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.”
I taught my child the same way.
More from Bourdain:
“Don’t lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don’t do it again. Ever”
“What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?”
“We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts.”

Took the boy to St Elmo in Bisbey (for the history of it) where they promptly pointed to a sign that stated “unattended children will be sold into slavery”

Heavy equipment should be used under close supervision.
My Dad had me driving mining trucks with 15’ tall tires when I was a nipper.

I agree that cooking should be taught ti the young.
It’s an important skill.
Eating a meal that someone cooked with love for you is one of the nicest things on the planet.
The first thing I learned to cook was a grilled cheese sammich!
LOL
I I was hyst about to say dad taught me how to make a grill cheese on a coal fired Ben Franklin stove out there where he taught me how to drive the truck.
(they were GOOD)
Moms says Dad would have starved if it weren’t for her, Campbell tomato soup and grilled cheese LOL

Our whole town of Comanche OK lost power earlier this morning. It went out around midnight. It came back on just under an hour ago.
They're saying this was on Western Farmer's Electric Coop's end.
