What climate change? If I was a younger person I'd be very worried. As
it is I'm still worried, but as I'm 83 and will be leaving no hostages
to fortune (children) behind ..... Still, it would be nice if it were possible to cool the planet down before it wipes out humanity and
cools down on its own.
It is cooling down, despite what the global warming folks say. Remember only 30+/- years ago when everybody was obsessing over the global
cooling? Can't win for notning.
My usual order is medium; Steve likes them rare. We ordered the same
steak but different sides recently at Texas Roadhouse; they brought the
2 plates and set them down, switching them. Took us a moment but
switched back and were happy.
Never eaten at a Texas Roadhouse (Founded February 17, 1993; 32 years
ago, in Clarksville, IN. Currently headquartered in Louisville, KY)
Good place to go for consistancy from place to place. Good variety of steaks and sides, food overall is very good. It can get loud at times
as it's a good sized place and only low barriers separating one area
from another.
It was several years before a TRH actually opened in Texas. Bv)=
We've eaten at them in several states, don't recall if TX has been one
of them. Do like that you know what you're getting there--they do have
a "pick your own steak" cabinet up front but we usually just order off
the menu. They used to have buckets of peanuts on the table, shells
could be tossed on the floor. Discontinued that with covid, brought in bagged peanuts (shells go into buckets) only a couple of years ago.

The core msay be cooling. But the atmosphere and surface are warming - caused by polllutants in the atmosphere. Global average surface temperature has risen at an average rate of 0.17°F per decade since
1901

The only steak place I have eaten in Texas is the "Big Texan" just off
of Route 66 (now I-40) where the offer a "free 72 oz steak" (4 1/2 lb roast cooked on the grilll). To get it free you must finish it in one sitting along with the baked potato and side salad. I managed it. But
an hour
or so further west I was getting hungry again. Seems all that food got
my stomach stretched out of shapen and when it passed on down the line
it left an rmpty feeling. Bv)=

We used to have a chain place called "The Ground Round" a family
casual place that offered the p-nut shells on the floor deal. The
chain, a part of the Howard Johnson's family went bust in 2004. Our
local store is now "The Dublin Pub" with not an Irishman in sight.

Whichever way it's going, we shouldn't need to obsess about it. I
figure I'll be out of here one way or another before the planet blows
into smithereens.

I've seen the signs for that approaching, then in, Amarillo. The place
is just off of I-40, and no, we've never stopped there. Only times
we've stopped in the city have been for fuel and visits to a (now deceased) aunt of Steve's. There's no way I could finish 4.5 pounds of meat, a potato and salad (especially if the salad is brought out first)
in one sitting.

I'll stop at comfortably full, like I could eat dessert but if I did,
I'd be overfull. Taking home a lot of leftover boxes these days.

Kind of my take on it. But, I can still attempt to leave something for posterity. Or before some whack-o politician decides to pull the
nuclear trigger.

There used to be billboards up and down Route 66. And since Route 66
has its beginning in Chicago and terminus in Santa Monica I saw
several near my town since we were astraddle of Route 66.

I had to finish the deal. If not I would have had to pay enough that
I couldn';t have made it to Califunny. I wouldn't even attempt it now.

Nope. They pre-dated Texas Roadhouse. G.R. began in 1969. T.R. in
2003. If anything T.R. is the copycat.

Just Guiness stout. They do offer one of the better bowls of chilli in Springfield.
