In business from 1913 until 1958 at 2420 N. Broadway, Ptomaine Tommy&#8217;s was the most prominent and best-known chili parlor in town.

Storyline: Clint Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man who is ninety years old, broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that requires him to drive. Easy enough, but unbeknownst to Earl, he&#8217;s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well, so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn&#8217;t the only one keeping tabs on Earl.<\/p>\n<p>The mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging D.E.A. Agent Colin Bates (Bradley Cooper). And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl&#8217;s past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it&#8217;s uncertain if he&#8217;ll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel&#8217;s enforcers, catch up to him.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE MULE - Official Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N_QksSzK7sI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After the movie, we went into the swim spa and sta there for an hour just talking.\u00a0 MAry asked about the bright &#8220;star,&#8221; and I pulled out my iPhone with the SkyView app and determined it was Venus!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57801\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57801\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-57801\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-650x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-650x300.jpg 650w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-150x69.jpg 150w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-768x355.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-1536x710.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monday1-night-sky-2048x946.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57801\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Moon and Venus were very bright tonight.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We went inside about 9:30 PM and attempted to watch a movie, but Mary&#8217;s eyes went closed, and mine soon followed!
