Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism
My first exposure to this and supposedly just a two line change to the SSH server configuration.
Anyone set this up on their own servers yet? Just for kicks?

I love red beans and rice. Try to use real red beans rather than kidney beans if you can. As for the meat ingredients in this recipe, feel free to vary the ratio of meats and use more or less to taste.
Do you have a favorite RB&R recipe?

If you're not using chickpeas, it's not really hummus. However if you're willing to overlook that, other beans can be used similarly. One example is white beans.

At one point Fort Worth's population dropped from 3,000 to 600. Until the unified effort to bring the railroad to the town.

Dude was gifted a pocketful of 800+ year old beans by a ranger at Mesa Verde National Park. He took them home and managed to grow them, eventually turning the crop into part of his business.

The old Vickery Elementary School building, while dilapidated, still has nice bones. Hopefully the Beta Tau Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will have success in restoring it.
It's worth a drive-by if you ever get a chance. Walking past and around though is pretty dicey. There's a good supply of derelicts around and some use the place for overnight stays.
Comparisons of Grocery Stores and a few product offerings in Fort Worth
Shoppers tend to stick to a handful of stores they are comfortable with and don’t regularly compare prices. People are creatures of habit, he said, and retail stores take advantage of that.
The retail store can get away by offering you deep discounts on a few items, and they don’t need to offer you frequent discounts.

I would rather cook my dried beans from scratch. But this article has some arguments for when canned beans are superior.

The recipe look pretty good. Maybe it might be worth a try once the daily temps get somewhere below 100F.

And there's an effort to determine how to spend it. Seems you get a (small) voice. Sort of like how Dickies Skate Park off Hemphill came to be.

Bush's beans has a factory and visitor's center in Tennessee. You can't get into the factory, but you're welcome at the visitor's center. It's all in a small city in the country and probably a relaxing outing.

I'm not sure exactly where these are and Google Maps doesn't have an easy way to search by exit numbers. If you know, tell us.
- Interstate 20 from exit 443 to exit 449
- Interstate 820 from exit 33C to 33A
Also this is the first time I've realized 820 is an interstate.

Passport Fair in Fort Worth - August 6
There's a "passport fair" at the Downtown Fort Worth Post Office on Lancaster on Sunday August 6th. These fairs are described as "passport acceptance facilities such as post offices, libraries, and local government offices are hosting special passport acceptance fairs across the United States to help you and your family apply for your passport." More about them at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/passports/special-passport-acceptance-fairs.html.
This one doesn't require an appointment, but I'd still get there early. It doesn't make your passport free ($165 altogether) but does make obtaining one easier since there will be people to assist and walk you through it.
Hint. Try to park free at the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) parking lot. Technically you need to ride the railway to park there for free but if you act like you belong no one will notice. If that doesn't suit you, just park along the street near the station parking lot and use the tunnel to walk through the station and to the post office.
