He was going to kill her.

Was he? Henry was in jail, not yet out on bail.

He was meeting daily with the authorities who were trying to convince him to rat. He knew Jimmy and Pauly would know about the meetings, so he played it like he was fighting the meetings and telling them to frick off. He was using the meetings to try to get the government to show their cards so he could figure out his options.

Point being, Henry is locked up and they know the government is trying to flip him. So why would Jimmy kill Karen during this time? Henry finds out Karen is gone and he tells the govt he will talk. That’s stupid as frick for Jimmy to do.

The smart plan was to get Henry out on bail so he could be killed. Henry purposely told them he needed to stay in to sober up, so Jimmy wouldn’t bail him out to kill him. And that’s what Jimmy did. As soon as Henry was ready, he had his in-laws bail him out so he could try to collect money and see if he needed to run away or not. Jimmy wanted to meet the day he got out but Henry told him he had a thing with Karen and he would meet the next day for breakfast.

That’s when Jimmy asked him to go kill the confidential informant who ratted on Henry (a small time teenager who was a CI each time he got arrested for selling drugs to save his arse). And Jimmy said Henry was to go with the 2 guys the feds were telling Henry they have on tape talking to Jimmy about killing Henry. Jimmy told him to meet them the following day at a bar he never heard of. Henry drove by and saw the bar was exactly the kind of place Jimmy uses for hits.

Henry wanted to run, not rat, but once the feds heard he was out, they arrested him again that same day (arrested for the airport heist). Henry said they told him he either talked or went to jail for the airport robbery. He couldn’t get back out to run.

I thought it was another band of brothers with the Hanks kid and Spiers. Then I realized the Hanks kid in BOB came after the battle of the bulge and then realized that wasn’t the same actor who played Spiers.

We did this for a family trip and it was one of our favorite trips.

DAY 1
Flew to Phoenix. Rented car. Stopped for lunch at InNOut. Stopped at Cave Creek Park to see the cactus. Drove through Flagstaff and stopped in the South Rim of Grand Canyon. You go from desert and cactus to mountains. Crazy drive.

DAY 2
Sightseeing and hiking in the morning. Then we drove to Williams and went to Bearizonia (great place). Then dinner at a diner on Route 66. Kids did the zip line.

DAY 3
Sightseeing and hiking.

DAY 4
Drove to Sedona. Stopped at Sunset Crater Volcano Park. Rented an Airbnb and relaxed for the rest of the day.

DAYS 5-7
Horseback riding. Jeep rental. Hiking. A trip to Jerome. A trip to Montezuma Castle Park. Shopping and dinners.

DAY 8
Drove to Phoenix and flew home.

The building is awesome. I’m sure it needs major repairs, but I hope they make the right repairs and keep the old spirit alive. A shitty building is part of the charm, let’s just hope the kitchen is clean.

I’m hosting a graduation party at the end of May. It will be outside and warm.

I’m looking for a cocktail/alcohol drink I can serve in large quantities. Something semi-refreshing and not too strong for men and women outside in the heat. I will have wine and beer but want some type of cocktail. I’m happy with just one, I don’t need a full bar.

My only experience with this is something like jungle juice back in college.

My idea is to have a beverage dispenser (like a lemonade jar) filled with the cocktail. We can have garnishes and ice on the side if needed.

What would you suggest?

Bumping in case anyone else has suggestions.

I’m thinking of heading to Little Havana to eat, probably at some of the places mentioned above. Then I’ll sightsee South Beach. If for some reason I don’t eat in Little Havana, I’ll check out Joes Stone Crab.

Manta looks like a great experience, but doubt I’ll have the time.

So, I won’t lie, I had an issue with supreme rice. I noticed small gravel/rocks in the rice. I poured it all into a container and sorted it. There were a lot of these small hard rocks.

I sorted the rice and pulled out all I could find. I emailed the company just to tell them what I found. I said I wasn’t looking for any reimbursement, I was just informing them of the issue.

Their response was the rocks were natural with rice farming (maybe so) and they were safe to eat (I disagree). I was at the least expecting them to say they would check the problem out. They did not.

I went back to Mahatma. Never had an issue and it’s the rice I have bought forever. I have no interest in using Supreme.
