    Could be. I've not heard about it, anyhow.
    And not worth asking about probably.

    Unless one were planning on a bit of backcountry
    hiking, which would for me be a possibility but not
    a great possibility.

    It's been noted that kids have distinct preferences,
    and the arch people outnumber the crown people. Nothing
    is ever mentioned about the pigtail people, so maybe
    they don't exist.
    What about the bell or cowboy hat? Where do they rank? Neither, not
    being burger places, probably don't rank as high with kids.

    Those places basically don't count - Arby's used to
    make okay food, I'm told by people who ought to know
    better, but it's tiny compared to the big boys. Taco
    Purgatory may be up there in size, but I can't imagine
    kids clamoring for its wares. I looked it up, and the
    clown beats the crown by many fold, and the crown beats
    the hat by a similar margin. Tacos do relatively well
    in this contest, with sales neck-and-neck-and-neck with
    the crown and (surprise) the pigtails, bumping up to
    Subway and Starbuck's and being chased by Dunkin. Wendy's
    might have kid appeal, but the others just mentioned
    probably not.

    Actually, a lot of veggies are very low carb, only 5 gms per
    uncooked > cup, 5 gms per 1/2 cup, cooked. Some, the starchy ones, are more so and > lentils would be in this group. I did a quick Google

    carbs. So, you could eat some but fill up more on leafy greens,

    Could but wouldn't, even for someone as glamorous.
    Not worth the bother?

    Not worth the fiber, perhaps.

    They just don't find it a-meow-sing
    That's so last week.
    I thought it was purr-fectly acceptable.
    Let me pan that.
    Litter-ally?

    Let me give you the scoop on that.

    Hi Michael,

    yellowstone.net has an interesting page on geysers
    but doesn'tlist any that fit your description.
    Must be a park secret.
    Could be. I've not heard about it, anyhow.
    And not worth asking about probably.

    Most likely a "nice to think about, but not actually do so" for us.

    It's been noted that kids have distinct preferences,
    and the arch people outnumber the crown people. Nothing
    is ever mentioned about the pigtail people, so maybe

    Kids get fixated on one place early on and it stays with them. Our
    generation wasn't brought up with fast food as a reasonable alternative (usually eat at home, eating out was at an actual restaurant) so we're
    more flexible with our choices. Our kids ate at fast food places at a
    much younger age, and more often, than we did; their kids consider it
    normal. I know both of our girls have taken their kids to real sit down restaurants so they do know that eating out isn't always a fast food
    place.

    Depends on if you think you need it or not. Publix had some lentils,
    split peas and great Northern beans on their close out table yesterday,
    still over a year before their best by date. I picked up a bag of each
    to use this winter.

    They just don't find it a-meow-sing
    That's so last week.
    I thought it was purr-fectly acceptable.
    Let me pan that.
    Litter-ally?

    Let me give you the scoop on that.

    Just don't box me in the corner.
