Thursday, Aug 18, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller * Every year, there’s a breakout food or drink at the Illinois State Fair. I hereby nominate the blackberry slushy from the Illinois wine outlet in the Village of Cultures…  What’s on your mind today? …Adding… Sen. Duckworth has her own nomination…

That looks good. But is there any good beer at the State Fair or is it all just Budweiser?
- Amalia - Thursday, Aug 18, 22 @ 8:58 am:
wine? slushy? yes please
- Rich Miller - Thursday, Aug 18, 22 @ 9:00 am:
Hot Taeks, yes there is. The Village of Cultures is the place to be.

On my mind is how delicious that slushy would be for breakfast right now.

Can never go wrong with a good wine slushy. And blackberries are also a healthy breakfast item.
And I’m missing the Jamaican booth and maybe some pancit from the Filipino booth.

Ms Duckworth’s smile is infectious. It always makes me smile.
- Amalia - Thursday, Aug 18, 22 @ 9:58 am:
Tammy D’s nomination sure would taste good for breakfast….

Drove to Ohio to take kid to college yesterday. Gas prices in Indiana are about 30 cents higher than in Illinois. How did that happen?

Can I count the wine slushy as a serving of fruit on my diet plan? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Sure looks delicious.

Isn’t everything better deep fried with whipped cream??

=Drove to Ohio = had the same experience driving to Columbus a couple of weeks ago. Cheapest gas we saw was here in Springfield. With the upcoming holiday weekend, maybe Rich needs a question about the gas prices people see when traveling.

I drove to Arizona recently and the gas in every state along the way was substantially cheaper than Illinois.

… and yet you foolishly and ignorantly came back.
What, *all* those states with *all* that greatness… could you find a house, job… you came back?
I’m not saying I’m laughing…
Thing is, gas has been dropping for two months…

Child 1 moved to Arizona with 2 kids and Child 2 moved to Texas with 4 kids. If child 3 with his 4 kids move out of state I will also as that is the only reason I remain.

So you are staying… On purpose.
It’s a free country.
