I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Other than IV bags, all those items could be found at every SAG stop on every organized bike ride I've ever participated in.

Blue and yellow pie chart. The key shows blue is "no." Yellow represents "no but in yellow."

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I've joked that I have an infinite appetite for donuts which is why now only eat a donut if I've ridden my bike to get said donut.
