@spike382 Jao is currently in my custody, so behave yourself.

I love homemade taffy, or fresh made from a good mom and pops shop.  There are several excellent salt water taffy shops on the Oregon Coast Hwy.

There's some great shops that sell good old fashioned salt water taffy in Cali as well.  That has always been my favorite growing up.  There was this place we'd always stop at in Morro Bay (where my great-aunt used to live) and it was a requirement to pick up a bag of delicious salt water taffy every time we visited.

@raven1 Hey, Terry!  How are you and Aod?

We're doing well.  I'm working on more poems, doing some reading, attending a meeting and mailing off my taxes.  Then there are some other chores to take care of today.  I also am thinking of make a pot of potato leek soup for dinner tonight.  I made a beef stew last night.  It was full of root veggies and a thick savory broth.

You leave my baby Jao alone!  He's the most precious cutie-pie ever, with those adorable chubby cheeks, and that kissable belly.  Seriously how could you even want to threaten him?

There's only one place I know that sells taffy year-round in Traverse City, and that's a chain store which also sells soda in glass bottles, and funny vintage signs. They have so many different flavors of soda, 120+ if I remember correctly. Apart from that, there's a seasonal farmer's market store, and The Taffy Barrel in Charlevoix.

That's more like it!

Sounds tasty. I might make that next week.

Who said anything about threatening him?  I am merely notifying you of his stay at the imperial palace.

Well then you treat him like a prince, and keep him away from that Vegas riff raff!

Don't worry, Vegas is too busy teaching the imperial police how to better perform enhanced interrogations to bother Jao.  And of course he's being treated like a prince, he's even staying in one of the best suites in the palace!   But for security reasons, I'll have to move him to a dank dungeon if the rebellion acts up again.

The Texas Resistance now supports taking off or leaving on whatever toppings you do or do not want on your pizza.  Because variety in food is freedom.

Oh don't you try to hold my precious Jao as a hostage.  Them's fightin words!  Remember our ceasefire...

Ugh... fine!  I won't stop my imperial guest (not hostage) from leaving when he's ready. Happy?

Poor @Bucket1, he’s survived the trials of murder chickens, having Melbourne exist, and now he has to deal with your low key hostility.

I've been reliably informed by my friend 😉 that he has informed J.A.R.V.I.S who is now keeping a close watch on Texan airspace. J.A.R.V.I.S will reprogram and return to sender any none civilian flying objects, he has a fair chance of repelling any launches not authorised by The White House. 🤞

I’m so happy you’re bros with Iron Man.  Depending on the situation he can double check anything authorized by the White House as well, they’re only marginally less scary than Drew.

I could always ask him to call in the full crew
