The World Potato Congress just appointed three new directors to its board.  Two of them seem…perfectly suited for the job.

The World Potato Congress seems like the perfect thing for Julian’s America to have beef with. Reason TBD.

เพลง ทิ้งไว้กลางทาง
คำร้อง/ทำนอง : เหมือนเพชร อำมะระ
เรียบเรียง : POTATO,เกียรติยศ มาลาทอง

มันดีแค่ไหนกัน ที่เราได้ร่วมทาง จนถึงวันนี้ก็เนิ่นนาน
มันเป็นเพราะฉันเอง ยังดีไม่มากพอ  ทำที่เธอขอไม่ได้เลย

เมื่อเธอจะไปก็เข้าใจ เมื่อเธอเจอใครดีกว่ามากมาย คงไม่ต้องรอ

ทำถูกแล้ว ที่เธอเลือกเขาและทิ้งฉันไว้ตรงกลางทาง
เมื่อตัวเธอ พบคนที่ดี ที่เธอวาดไว้ในหัวใจ
ปล่อยมือฉัน ถูกแล้ว ให้ใจของฉันปวดร้าวแค่ไหน
ยอมฝืนใจ ให้เธอเดินจากฉันไป เมื่อรู้ว่าเธอ … มีคนที่พาไปถึงปลายทาง

ความจริงที่ฉันกลัว กลัวการไม่มีเธอ  กลัวถึงวันนี้มาเนิ่นนาน
เพียงคำว่ารักเธอ มันคงไม่เพียงพอ ให้รั้งเธอไว้ไม่ได้เลย

@45thabsurdist
I know protest moms said to take the night off, but we did that last night. The potatoes are returning to downtown portland. The earth is healing.

The website of the Idaho Potato Commission is an uncharted gem on the internet. The site includes:
    [li]Ask Dr Potato, a melange of potato experts ready to answer all your potato questions, with 762 questions already asked and answered[/li]
    [li]A profile of the [email=https://idahopotato.com/big-idaho-potato-hotel]Big Idaho Potato Hotel[/email], a 6-ton promotional potato that has been repurposed into a 2-guest exclusive AirBnB near Boise, ID, for just $250 per night.[/li]
    [li]Tater Talk, a long-running monthly e-mail newsletter, including archives dating back more than 7 years[/li]
    [li]And finally, the results of this year's Idaho Potato Lover's Display Contest, which may be what you'd expected, but may not be what you wanted.[/li]

i have a new mission in life: taste one of those lumpy potatoes.  that purple'ish one at the top left and the red'ish one just right of the center-most potato ARE CALLING ME.

also, given their resemblance to a coronavirus cell, they are appropriate for these times.
