Yet another reason to loathe Rupert Murdoch

Heaven forbid that New Jersey Governor Christie actually praise the president for doing a good job: Murdoch warns Christie that if he doesn't say nice nice about Willard, the next four "dire years" will be Christie's fault.

But then, I didn't need any more reasons to loathe Rupert Murdoch.

Unexpected pleasures

We went off to a wholesale club today to get some of the usual things one buys in mass quantities (because they don't go bad): toilet paper, napkins, batteries, and so on. In our area, that's a choice between BJ's and Costco. This time, we opted for BJ's, since Mike got a temporary card there last month. (We needed large bags of chocolates for work, and Costco didn't have any for some reason.)

Today, wandering through their food aisles, we both spotted, perhaps simultaneously, Bob Evans breakfast sausage links. This is the first time we have *ever* seen Bob Evans sausage products east of the Ohio border. It was farking *amazing*! We can have really good sausage in the morning without importing it ourselves! Woo hoo!

Now, if they start importing the bulk sausage, ideal for biscuits and gravy, we'll have a damned good winter.
