Then, finally, the pilot got on again and said that everyone on the flight would be following the federal requirement and that if there was anyone who could not wear a mask, for whatever reason, for 2 hours and 20 minutes, the door was still wide open and that all passengers would either be putting on a mask right then or getting off the plane. At that point a man stood up, thanked his fellow passengers for their patience and apologized for the delay and then he GOT OFF THE PLANE!!! I mean, OK, I'm glad he made that choice instead of causing a worse incident, but wow. What an idiot. This was a direct flight TO BOSTON!!! No idea what someone who couldn't bring themselves to wear a mask on an airplane thought he was going to be doing once he got to Boston.
The figure skating was worth trip, Nashville, not so much. Nashville may be even worse at dealing with snow than Durham. I have decided to start rating places I visit on a 1 - 10 scale. I will grant that I probably saw Nashville at it's worst, but it only rates a 4 for now.
Glad you had fun!Quote:

While I am down on Nashville in the main (having witnessed first-hand its issues during a multi-month stay), I will not criticize it for its snow removal results, because ... well, there are just too many things broken about Nashville to worry about something that only happens a couple times a year. The main roads are not majorly affected by snow because they are dysfunctional at the best of times, so how much worse could snow make them? Traffic will only get worse, because Nashville is still on a growth spurt and refuses to consider any kind of mass transit solution. One of the most advertised modes of entertainment here is "transpotainment" (that's a "real" word here), where open-sided buses (some of them pedi-buses) full of screaming inebriates ply through the downtown streets causing noise issues for those that rent or live in the area. I won't belabor the point ... but when it came to trying to decide where to move to while staying at my MIL's house in Nashville, we decided on a minimum of 60 miles from the city. Of course, that puts us smack dab in the middle of Trump country ... but that's a whole nother issue.Quote:

I'm not criticizing them for snow removal results either. The city did reasonably well with that. What made me mentally score Nashville as below average has more to do with the parts that are, to borrow your term, broken. The city's priorities were on full display and from my point of view, those priorities are wankered.Quote:

My parents live not far from Myrtle so we get down several times a year. One of those times, we ended up behind a gentleman and his well-derriered lady astride his crotch rocket, which was blaring rap music. The lady was wearing a thong bikini and so most of her ample backside was exposed and she was dancing at each stop. It was 2 PM.
They pulled up next to this older couple in a Cadillac at a stop light. Those poor people were doing everything they could to look but not look. Unfortunately, the lady caught them and when she saw them, she pointed at them, yelled something unintelligible and started vigorously twerking and yelled at them some more. The older couple stared straight ahead and you could just sense their desperation for the light to turn green.
It was positively delightful. I love Myrtle. It knows what it is and leans into it. You can have a family friendly time but you can also have one of the messiest most chaotic times in America there.
Thanks for sharing!

Red Beans and Rice
1 pound dry Red kidney Beans
3 bay leaves
7 cups water
1 pound kielbasa sausage (sliced)
1 ham hock
1 celery stalks (diced)
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
3 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama Creole Seasoning, plus more to taste
1 bunch green onions (diced)
several dashes hot sauce, to each bowl
8 cups cooked rice (to serve)
In an extra-large stockpot, add red kidney beans. Fill water to top then place in fridge. Let beans soak at least 10-12 hours. I soak them overnight.
Drain water from beans. Stir occasionally.
In a large stockpot, add diced celery, green pepper, garlic and diced onions. Brown over medium heat in oil (until onions are translucent), stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add beans, bay leaves, parsley and 7 cups water. Bring to boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer covered, about 8-12 hours, stirring occasionally. Beans should thicken in the pot. You may need to add a little water the longer you cook.
With 30 minutes remaining, slice the sausage and brown in a separate pan (you can skip browing and) add to pot. Add more or less Creole Seasoning according to taste preference. Continue to cook until the beans are tender and creamy. TIP: The texture should not be soupy or watery. If it is, simply keep cooking until the mixture is very thick and almost paste-like.
Remove from the heat. Remove bay leaves. Use a potato masher to crush most of the beans. Pro tip: consistency should be almost like a gravy and not soupy at all.
Serve with cooked rice. Spoon beans into a dish. Add chopped green onions. Add several dashes of hot sauce (I like Cholula, but any hot sauce works). Serve with rice in the same bowl.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 6-12 hours
Total Time: all freaking day but not a lot of prep time
Yield Servings: a bunch
Can of red beansQuote:

This recipe is years worth of tinkering. When I first started making this I put the sausage in early and the sausage loses its sausage consistency. The key is to mash the beans up so that it isn't soupy, but has almost a gravy consistency. I use a potato masher. The actual masher and not the German grenade from World War II.Quote:

I avoid my attic except when absolutely necessary (had bats up there once), like a year ago when I had to replace the smoke alarm battery. That is when I noticed my vent hose lying on the floor of the attic just venting away into the air. It had come undone. That is how I learned the roofer had done what he did. I called him, and he said that venting to the ridge vent was acceptable (it really is not) and he tacked it up again.Quote:

But being upstairs, where else can it go, especially without a ton of demo? That is why I wanted to run it across the attic floor and down through the soffit. Otherwise, I have no idea what to do, unless I drop it straight down to the crawlspace and then who knows where?. Also, it is in the middle of the house, not near an outside wall. The one thing I did not like about the house when I bought it was the closet upstairs hallway W/D setup.
