    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and
    taste good with ketchup?
    Do not mess with me, for I do not taste good
    with ketchup.
    The likes of us would poison anything trying to eat us.

    Indeed.

    Were you born in 1964 or 1976? Those are
    dragon years.
    Horse - 1966. Now how the heck I even know that is a good question.

    So one needn't worry about you in
    regards crunch and ketchup.

    The problem is that most people have been
    cowed into thinking so. There is a most
    Emperor, meet your new clothes.

    Lots of everything appreciation is like that.

    famous 19th century architect called
    H.H. Richardson, who designed dozens if
    not hundreds of buildings most of which
    I consider blights on the landscape, though
    after living among them for fifty years,
    they have not exactly grown on me, but at
    least I don't notice them anymore. He is
    widely regarded as one of the holy trinity
    of American architecture; one of the otherw
    is Frank Lloyd Wright, and the other isn't.
    There are some of those around here too.

    Yeah, the guy did some stuff I've seen in
    Hartford, but I can't recall exactly where.

    so that the creatives get squeezed out. And thus
    a real estate boom is born, but the original
    justification is gone.
    The creatives then get forced out into another area and doing it all
    over again. The small percentage who've been successful or switched
    careers and are earning a few bucks may stay put.

    Exactly so.

    My Big Y sells some of the better stuff; there may be a place up
    near
    you too.
    Though the Big Y may have a partially upscale
    clientele along the line of Wegmans's, it is
    vanishingly unlikely that it ever sold any of
    the best of the better stuff.
    Mine has displays of ageing beef, mold and all. We don't have a
    Weggies to compete. It probably isn't the absolute best, but it's
    better than the drek Stop & Plop sells.

    You need a disruptor.

    Yay, an hour to the North Pole.

    OTOH some folks eat horses. The Greek zodiac isn't any help; I'm
    also a Pisces. Fish dinner. (sigh)

    Yeah, the guy did some stuff I've seen in

    A house down the street from me is one of his designs. It's dark-
    looking from the outside; what it's like to live in is a good
    question.

    Mine has displays of ageing beef, mold and all. We don't have a

    Sounds like a good idea to me too! They're moving a mini Target into
    the area but they don't count. There's an Aldi farther away, but the
    Big Y is about as far as I'd go for refrigerated stuff and raw meat
    in warm weather.

    Yay, an hour to the North Pole.

    Feels like it sometimes.
