Sharpies are the worst for that, bled right through a napkin once and ruined a forklift path drawing I was working on. Looked like some weird Rorschach test by the time the ink soaked through. Had to laugh and accept it was a complete mess.

Lean times weren't romantic for me.

Are we saving the bees or just starting neighborhood wars? My grandma's perfect grass lawn looks nice, but it's basically a green desert for bugs. Let the flowers grow and save the drama for something that matters.

Totally agree, bone-in makes a huge difference. I tried making boneless ribs once and they just dried out and stuck to the grill, no matter what I did. The bone seems to keep everything moist and adds that deeper, meatier taste. Once you taste a proper bone-in chop or thigh, you really get it.
