Why would it? Bach has nothing to do with Water Music.

I was not able to find out which restaurant produced that kids' menu, but I've been able to find two within day-trip distance of me that had similar ideas -- Altoona's Deli at Mansion Park



and the fine dining on Fager's Island, over in Ocean City

Got some slides done... These things are like glass windows into a moment of time more than pictures....

This first one is 'the Golden Bridge in Ba Na Hills, Vietnam' (no idea as to the source on the rest)

That's a big fog bank...

Comment from the artist: “Indifferent Kevin 2” is so much better than “Indifferent Kevin 1”.

Did you know that The Non-Adventures of Wonderella is still active? Extremely irregularly active, but still.





Source - the last strip from 2017. As of this posting, there's only been one strip in 2018, though.

Wait until you're 35-55, when you realize you picked the wrong class altogether.

Actually I'm already in my mid 40s.  And I agree completely.

Regarding the salt one: There are laws in place in the Netherlands at minimum that notes that you can't provide a sell by date more than 3 years after production, and all foodstuffs need a sell by date. Including the ones that, quite reasonably, should not be capable of expiring, like sufficiently pure salt.

It's much the same in the United States -- Peg and I frequently joke about the spring water we buy for her coffee having an expiration date, and mock-worry about it "going bad". The law assumes that every foodstuff (and drug) goes bad at some point, regardless of common sense or scientific fact. I recall reading an article some years ago that mentioned that some medicines are so shelf-stable that they have no known expiration -- but the government requires a value for their shelf lives (and won't permit "infinite", or apparently any value over three or five years), so the drug companies just make them up, for lack of any other option. And because lawyers, most expirations you see on drug and dry food packages are actually somewhere around halfway through the actual expected shelf life.

So that salt should actually be good well through 2020, and maybe even into 2021!
