    I have heard too many horror stories about buying honey in the grocery store.  I had to give up my hives several years ago.  Does anyone know where the local honey is sold? I saw some about 2 months ago when I was out and about, but forget where...and alas it is now gone .

    You obviously know more about local conditions than I do. How do the homeless fit into that picture?


    They didn’t.  During the years I worked,  there was just one homeless case that stands out because it involved an elderly gentleman.  When he was arrested he was issued an appearance ticket and he actually appeared.  

    Homelessness, 10 to 15 years ago, was not as prevalent as it is today.

      Research shows that very, very few people fail to turn up in front of the judge.

     

    I disagree with that research, at least for this area.  I was a Court Clerk for 17+ years and the number of Arrest Warrants and  Bench Warrants issued for failure to appear was unbelievable and a PITA.   Often, warrants were issued more than once for the same individuals even if bail was posted.  The defendants didn’t care if bail was revoked, it usually wasn’t their money being forfeited for failure to appear.

    This might be considered in-patriotic today, but I have to say that the Nathans Hot Dog eating contest just grosses me out. 

    For one, soggy hot dug buns is just plain disgusting. But also, it feels to me like a celebration of gluttony. 

    I know, I'm probably in the minority on this one. 

    I agree with you on this.  I refuse to watch this disgusting display.


  5. Teleprompter readers (local news) who don’t check things before reading. 

    I can’t believe I heard this on a segment of WENY at 5am this morning.

    The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery paid $456,000.00 for a photo of former First Lady, Dolly Madison.  It’s believed the photo was taken in 1946, nearly 30 years after her husband, James Madison’s, Presidency ended.

    NY definitely screwed the pooch and the whole litter on this one. It should be 100% illegal to drive while smoking and I'm sure it is. Should be DUI and equivalent of open container in vehicle. 

    It is illegal in NYS, VTL1192-4, driving while ability is impaired by drugs.  Enforcement is the problem.

    The most recent lettuce harvest:

    Looks like we’re eating salad for a while!

    You could use some of that in a light summer soup like you would add kale or spinach.  Ask #1 son to try using some of this for making beans and greens.

  8. Ok, so we’re on episode 2, Hubby fell asleep but I’m enjoying what I’m watching.  I’m entertained and I’m not easily entertained.  For example, Deadpool bored me, as did the John Wick movies but I will watch all of the Acolyte.

     One sentence, drive-by posting may work on Facebook ( it actually doesn't, I'm just being generous ) but it's not much help here. 

    I’m guilty of that, I just did it in the article about extraterrestrials being already here in the form of ancient super humans.
