Flourtown doesn't sound very paleo...

It's one of the suburbs just on the edge of north west Philly. You still get some Philadelphia drivers though. A woman in a yellow Beetle tried to teach me a lesson by cutting me off (from behind, she was turning right), so I smacked her car because she was inches from flattening me. Here I was thinking it was a sleepy little suburb with a flour mill :-)

I did a final check of my tempo loop. I think it's going to work okay.

if you hadn't included the flourtown link, i would have thought you were subtly making fun of sugarhouse.

did you flash a thumbs up to joe torsella?

flourtown has the advantage in that the words are actually squished together, whereas sugarhouse is actually sugar house. i plan to change that via duress as soon as fritz becomes mayor.

Sugar house and Flourtown. I'm not sure what kind of recipe we are building but if it's cookies or beer, sign me up.
