My first time at Quesabirria Jalisco, I asked Ventura Orozco why his tacos were halal.

He answered with a moving story bout how a Palestinian restaurant took him in when he was at his lowest & how making his own shop halal led him to success.

snoopy at the eclipse event is wild

It’s happening!!!! No clouds currently :) T-50 minutes to totality. Somewhere near Carbondale, Illinois.

Final update ahead of this afternoon's total solar eclipse. 😎

Clouds will impact the view throughout much of the totality path, but high clouds from Texas to Ohio and in parts of New England may not completely obscure the eclipse. Stay safe and enjoy!
