Pan-fried chicken breast and parmesan and herb couscous. First time eating couscous. Probably won't buy it again. Weird texture.

The profits of war
Oil companies this week are set to report bumper second-quarter profits, as they ride the swell of an unprecedented energy crisis. While share prices of global drillers like ExxonMobil and Chevron have ticked down alongside a fall in oil prices, the sector is on track for a $495 billion cash windfall this year, analysts said, double the prewar estimate.

Re: you can't make this stuff up
the U.S. president told a crowd at Wheeler High School, in Georgia, that communists want to destroy Mount Rushmore; Trump reached back to his July 3 address at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, calling it a beautiful place. "You know, the communists want to take it down," he told the crowd, which cheered. He pressed further, saying, "Try taking Mount Rushmore down, they want to blow it up," before adding, "These people are crazy."

Re: Stupid **** that pops into my head
Most everyone now has the little red triangle button on their dashboard (it is illegal to drive with it flashing). I wonder how many tires were punctured by the nail in the flare dregs.
Re: Whatcha smokin this morning?
These are interesting smokes. Pre-light I like to smell the wrappers of cigars. This one smells like parmesan and romano grated cheese. Odd but doesn't come through when smoking, fortunately.
