Not a bench pic, but a couch pic that I posted several years ago. Even Botto approved of this one:

I could post a pic of the bench that my wife and I have in place for a gravestone but that would be morbid. It is pretty, though, and has the Irish blessing engraved on it: "May the road rise to meet you..." with a pic of a winding road.
Like I say, sort of morbid since it's near the roadway and I ride by on my bike a few times a week.

Damn, I'm in a bad mood, today.
Had to see my eye doc this morning and that always makes me grouchy, not to mention, he was running way behind.
Heating/AC guy was supposed to service my AC unit at 11:00 and didn't show until 12:30. Grouchy.
Went to pick up my pancreas meds and the pharmacy was closed for lunch. Wut? Had to wait until the pharmacist(s) returned. Grouchy, again.
Grouchy old man problems.
I apologize in advance for any and all posts that I make in the future.

I have been a vegetarian for 38 years.
Personally, I have low interest in “fake” meat products and prefer ones that taste good to me.
I do understand why some vegetarians might want to try these products, whether it be curiosity or nostalgia. I suspect they have more appeal to recent/nouveau vegetarians.

My wife is not vegan but recoils at the smell and sight of cooking meat. She only eats disguised meat like in spaghetti sauce if it's chopped fine. if it's cubed, she picks it out. She has no trouble with fish or seafood.

Not eating meat substitutes is not inherent in veganism. Lots of vegans eat "fake meat" in various forms and don't feel any aesthetic or philosophical reason to avoid it. I wonder how much of it has to do with when they made the switch, or if it was even a switch - that is, if you were raised vegan and never ate a burger, you might find no particular reason to want a burger, whereas if you grew up eating meat and then went vegan later, you might be drawn to fake burgers.

(I assume you're referring to the old joke about the bear who's answering the age-old question when a rabbit comes hopping by?)

Not me. I want MY burgers to be not only possible, but downright PROBABLE.
