My wife and I went to a winery by our house. We were a bit early(not open yet) so we kept driving in the country roads. So beautiful. Tons of alfalfa, potatoes, peaches, pears, onions, apples, TONS of hops, corn, barley, grapes, mint, everything! We love it. There is nothing but fields west of us. I'm sure there is more.

Btw, the winery was very cute and had a cute little picnic area.

Yes.

I need to take pictures next time. It is so open, and such a salad bar.

But it wasn't a cute little cute picnic area? That's too bad.

hey, that's not true at all!

the baud rate of parallel ports relied on sequentially sending individual 1's and 0's down 8 wires because the 1's and 0's of the time period weren't as cheap and didn't compress like the 1's and 0's of today.

let me tell you, a broken parallel port cable is a drippy faucet compared to a bad usb 3.0 cable....

No, what's ironic is that you bothered to point it out.

Shouldn't "isn't It Ironic?" be "isn't It Ironical?"
