I believe beverages are just as important as main dishes. I like a
strawberry shake with real pieces of strawberry in it. I like a
butterscotch shake like Dairy Queen doesn't have on their menu anymore.
I like a cherry Mister Misty. I like getting hydrated from rocket/bomb
pops.

I used to love Orange Julius. You could even get one with a raw egg
cracked into it. A Orange Julius franchise was just up the street.
That was the early Sixties. I haven't had an Orange Julius since.
I just googled. There isn't one within twenty-five miles of me, and I
live in one of the larger population centers in Nevada.
Loved that stuff!

I think it was mandatory to have one in every shopping mall back then.

In 1987, the Orange Julius chain was bought by International Dairy
Queen, which was subsequently purchased by billionaire Warren Buffett in
1998; thus, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire
Hathaway.[18] All of the surviving independent Orange Julius stores were
rebranded into Dairy Queens.[citation needed] Dairy Queen added Orange
Julius to its product line at its stores. Today, Orange Julius is a menu
item available at Dairy Queen stores, called Treat Centers.[2]

We have a DQ, and I know where it is, which is unusual. I need to do more
research.

Maybe you'll see Old Joe there after 20 January, licking an Orange

NATIONAL REVIEW:

The Biden Era Wheezes Its Way to a Fittingly Deluded End

By Jeffrey Blehar - January 15, 2025

"Joe Biden just finished addressing the American people tonight from the
Oval Office, for the final time in his presidency...

And at the end of it all, with this humiliatingly garbled ramble that
read like the sort of delusional self-exculpatory fantasy his caretaker
wife might whisper consolingly into his ear, Biden concluded his career
much as he began it over half a century ago: as a venal, petty-souled
fool in denial about his own limitations and failures...

We learned nothing tonight that we didn’t already know. Nothing was
revealed...

In a thick, slack-toned voice, stumbling over his words from beginning
to end as he squinted at a teleprompter with vacant eyes, Biden slurred
through the single most incoherent speech of his life...

He is as hopelessly delusional about the way posterity will view his
failed presidency as he was about his fitness for the presidency in the
first place; the former is merely the inevitable byproduct of the
latter...

Good riddance to the useless old shell of a man, and this uniquely
loathsome chapter in modern American history..."
