There is now a Costco in Rochester... so a possibility for this year's picnic... While we aren't members, I know that other echo members
expected are...

Good! A fun expedition quite different from most
of the echo ones in the past, and there should be
enough members, as you say, to get people in. Even
better, a lot of the food courts are outside, and
anyone can go.

"As someone that used to work in the food court at Costco, I will
tell you that the frozen chicken bakes they sell are not anywhere
near the same as the ones that we made at the food court," wrote a
user going by ricecracker420. "Food court ones are superior in every
way."

For sure a subject for investigation.

Interesting possibility... :)

That would involve eating the food court
ones and having me or someone buy a batch
to take home and test out.

Kidneys need that second round of butter but I wouldn't want
to eat the fish that did!

So there was a memorial dinner for Nicholas at
No. 9 Park with a menu dictated by him before
his death. It featured kidneys (his main complaint
was renal failure). I wasn't invited, whether by
his direction (what did I do?) or by Lee's faulty
execution I don't know.

Just from what you've said in the echo, I'd guess more likely the
latter....

I'm imagining so, The sour grapesy thing
would be "kidneys are not that great, anyway
[sniff]."

... Bread can lead to harder stuff like baguettes and croissants?

If your croissants are hard, there's something
wrong there.

If the metal bits had dragged on the pavement
and had made sparks, and if there was any kind
of further damage to the gas line, there could
have been a substantial kaboomy experience.

True... thankfully they weren't dragging that low... and I made it home
from MD safely... :)

The longer the risk is taken, the bigger the
chance of problem. Not to mention that whatever
is holding the things up is going to get more
and more fatigued, further increasing the risk.

But my responsibility is more an oral contractual
one with my father, unenforceable (as no
consideration) except perhaps morally, and that's
because of the promise to my father, otherwise,
it's a case of am I my brother's keeper, and the
answer at this point is no.

I'd say you are at the point where your obligation should be merely as
one sibling to another.... to a certain extent we look out for each
other and help out as need be... but are under no obligation to be fully
each other's keeper... advice as wanted, a helping hand where needed
(and possible)... but not really anything else necessary....

There's just this little pang; and, as I said
before, what if there's a major disaster that
befalls him or is caused by him. Bonnie said
there are a few positive signs, but his level
of self-loathing is such that nothing is safe,
mostly not him.
