The Contraction Czar, resistance is futile. You will be assimilated, strike that, contracted!

At home (WW) the ONLY choice is the ribeye sandwiches from our concessions. Often imitated, never equaled. All other restaurants are 15+ minutes away and can not compete with our sandwiches. When traveling to Paoli or Springs Valley I stop in Paoli at Porkys BBQ before the game. Springs Valley also requires a stop at West Baden Hotel for a hand dipped ice cream cone. Mitchell is a good excuse to go to Spring Mill Inn for the buffet. Perry Central I have to stop at Schwartz’s Amish Restaurant. Man I’m hungry, when does football start?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/30/politics/illinois-legal-marijuana-legislation/index.html Washington (CNN)Illinois is close to becoming the 11th state in the United States to legalize the purchase and possession of recreational marijuana. The state's Senate on Wednesday passed legislation on a 38-17 vote that would allow adults to buy and possess small amounts of marijuana. The bill is currently being considered by the Democratic-majority House, which is facing a Friday deadline to get bills passed before adjournment. The bill already has the support of Illinois' Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, who had campaigned for the legalization of marijuana. The bill would allow adults 21 and older to purchase and possess 30 grams of cannabis, five grams of cannabis concentrate, and cannbis-infused products containing no more than 500 milligrams of THC. Nonresidents will be able to purchase half of each of those amounts. And here we are in progressive Indiana - stuck in the middle again.

C'mon man, I've driven an hour to get my wife Krispy Kreme doughnuts!

That would be true, if travel does not impose a relative barrier ... which, I’m afraid, it does.

I believe FTWD begins Sunday evening. Does anyone even remember last year's cliff hanger? I'm UIC'ing this weekend, so I'm not sure if I'll even be home to see it and if I am I'll be too tired to watch. Thank god for DVR.

Exactly. Why do people wanna kill him again?

As Missouri's Last Abortion Provider Nears Closing, Neighboring Clinics Prepare: https://www.npr.org/2019/05/31/728566814/as-missouris-last-clinic-nears-deadline-neighboring-abortion-providers-prepare The free market in action.

Because there is not existing draconian government abortion regulation in a neighboring state like Illinois, so those women planning on having an abortion still have a choice.

Yes, but as with any good or service a market will be created to service the need for that good or service, with our without government interference. See the "War on Drugs".
