First, It Was Pizza Ovens. Now, It is Ice Cubes!

On June 26, I wrote about Big Climate's attempt to outlaw pizza ovens to stop global warming. The fact that it would take 849 years of a pizza oven's emissions (Big Climate says, b-a-a-d) to equal one year of emissions from John Kerry's private jet (good!) is irrelevant. This, of course, is after they went after your gas ovens. As I have written many times, this has stopped being about science years ago. It is now solely about authoritarianism and money.  Now, global warming dislikes .............. ice (of all things). The only way this is ever going to stop is to defeat these people in consecutive election cycles over at least a dozen years. And, defeat them hard!    In the meantime, if your newspaper or other news source promotes this sort of nonsense, cancel. But, first, write a letter informing them the reason for your decision. 

Beyond Absurd

Because NYC pizza ovens are causing global warming. 🙄 This stopped being about global warming years ago. This is solely about control. The more we give in, the more authoritarianism we are going to get. 

Sunday Fun: Wisdom From Blackwell

From Cicarella's Super Pizza in Blackwell, Oklahoma.  Excellent advice. And, their pizza and salad bar are quite good!

Frank Carney, Rest in Peace

One of Wichita's favorite sons has passed away. Frank, with his brother, Dan, was the co-founder of Pizza Hut . In 1958, they borrowed $800 from their mother to open a pizza restaurant in an empty building. Of course, it was a success. They started the first pizza franchise (Topeka). They also, for the first time, delivered pizzas from their Aggieville (near Kansas State University's campus) location.  WeatherData, Inc. did a major project for Pizza Hut, Inc. when it was starting its national delivery business. We correlated weather, city-by-city, to orders for delivered pizzas. Some of the results were surprising.  How did they come up with the name? It was all the letters that would fit on the sign! They later moved the very first Pizza Hut building to the Wichita State University campus as a symbol of entrepreneurship. From time to time, Frank and Dan taught business seminars there. Both spent their lives in Wichita where Dan still lives.  Rest in peace, Frank! Additi...

Sunday Fun: "The Best Pizza in Every State"

Here is an article about the best pizzeria in each state . In Kansas, they picked Ziggies . Since Wichita is the founding home of Pizza Hut, you would expect our entrepreneurs to make great pizza and they do. I like Ziggies and have been there several times. However, the best pizza in Wichita and Kansas is Picassos . Amazing.
