This is just a few blocks (maybe 5 minutes drive and that counts the 3 where you are trying to make a left onto Chalkville Road) from my brother's home: [link]

For my second trip to England, I decided to shell out a little bit more and pay for Virgin Atlantic Business Class because it had wider seats. That paid for itself twice over, because on the way over, they offered me a complimentary upgrade to Sleeper Class, which had Very Recliney Seats, lights out, and complementary pajamas and blankets.
Then on the way back, once again I was upgraded to Upper Class, with the bar and the silverware and snacks and drinks and whatnot.
I don't know what I did to deserve it, but if I figure it out, I'll do it again.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Is that from today, sara?
All kinds of good thoughts headed their way.

That's what is left after the tornados last week, 1/23. Came through around 3 am. Leveled some neighborhoods in the Center Point/ Clay/Trussville/Chalkville area. My brother finally had a chance to drive up to the camp lake, and said some neighborhoods were just a flattened pile of rubble, not even apparent they were once houses. Not sure if he took that picture or not, but he pinpointed exactly where it is.

Wow, sara. That's scary.
Is Ruth's Chris high end steak?
Isn't Peter Luger in Brooklyn supposed to be a step above Ruth's Chris?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ruth's Chris is 80s chain high end, I'd say.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What price range is Ruth's Chris? It's not like I'm holding the reference against Patton--he has to name a steak house, costs more than average, and the audience has to be familiar across the country.
I turned the TV on in the middle of Something's Gotta Give. Is Diane Keaton supposed to be likable, or is she to learn a life lesson and become a less irritating person?
I can't believe a movie with Amanda Peet and Diane Keaton Diane's the naked one. Amanda's, like, always naked, once a movie.

Ruth's Chris is pretty pricey, I'd say. Classic upscale steakhouse prices. Like Morton's, Smith & Wollensky's, that kind of thing.
