    thats alot of money for soup but it does look good

    Plus the Ramen is a full meal. So the price is in par with what you would pay elsewhere for a good meal for 2.

    Taichi is a bubble tea, sushi, Ramen restaurant that is Consumer Square. 

    I absolutely love a nice bowl of real ramen. Something about the mix of flavors just puts a smile of my face. 

    My son and I each had a bowl of the spicy miso ramen and a order of green tea. The odd thing is when ordering the tea they charge you an extra $.50 for no ice. So we just chose less ice. 

    I didn't take photos of our food because I never think about doing that. The photo I attached is from one of the reviews. Credit to the owner.

    It seems like they started in Rochester in 2015 and have expanded from there. 

    For the 2 very good servings of ramen and the 2 teas it was about $46.00 including tip. You can order at a kiosk or the counter. The teas were $6.00 each and I want to say the ramen was $13 each. 

    They have padded chairs you can sit while having a conversation over your meal or standard restaurant tables. I prefer the padded chairs because eating good ramen is an experience to be enjoyed.

    **And their proclamation that Fred was being rehabbed to safely return to the wild has been swallowed whole, (because I guess it takes a middle school IQ to understand a six syllable word like "REE-huh-BIH-lih-TAY-shun").

    The entire paperwork shows they are being emotional about everything. 

    Also intending to take the rabies training and taking it is 2 different things. I intended to be a astronaut when I was younger, but that's does not count for anything.

    Also they mention Fred being an Internet sensation like P'nut and then say he was going to be released back into the wild. I'm pretty sure those 2 things conflict with each other. 

    It was mentioned the legal team is doing it pro-bono.Wonder what happens to the go-fund that was done to raise funds for the legal battle?

    Keep that pesky detail away from the WENY/TM and EiC Facebook pages, who all decide now is the time to post an update on this soap opera!

    I know, the overlords at EIC refused to post the story about it twice saying it was a retaliation from the govt,  and then when I posted it as a comment on another story they deleted it and suspended me from posting for a month. 

    I just left the group, I rarely went to it. It may have over 40k people in it, but it's the same 1-200 that comment on anything. This time of the year it's mostly people surprised Christmas is here and ask for everyone else to provide gifts for their kids.

    I do too. I’ll sometimes buy from companies just because I like to receive their catalogs. Vermont Country Store is a good example. I’ll also randomly order catalogs from various companies just because. Hell, I pay for the Lehman’s catalog because I enjoy looking through it so much.

    I do like magazines and at one time I probably subscribed to at least a half dozen. Now I’m down to two, Adirondack Life and Backwoods Home. Both have been Christmas gifts for a couple years though I think ADK Life might be replaced with something next year. It’s just not quite as good as it used to be.

    Once upon a time I had a Play it subscription and, believe it or not, I did get it for the articles. I’ve often wished they would compile the interviews into a book form or something. They were often really interesting.

    They did have good articles. A book compiled of them would be something I would like.

    Yeah NYS has very strict regulations and requirements for each and every driver. Honestly I can’t see a private company wanting to take on that size of a fleet and try to manage it. It’d be nuts.

    I think that's why they said it was to small unless they could get HHDS. I don't know if they ever approached HHDS about it. I also tried to get them to contract out lunches also. Lol

    When I was in the board I tried to talk the district into contracting out the buses. They did look into but the company they talked to said Elmira was to small by itself and would like to have HHDS also to make it worth their effort. 

    I told the administrators we should do it because then we would not have to deal with the shortage of drivers or the drama that happens at the bus garage. But they didn't want to give up control of who was hired.

    Don’t feel too old. I still have no idea what the hell cryptocurrency is. I mean, is it really as easy as making up a name and saying, “Hey, buy this,”?

    No, It's a process and costs at least a few grand to get it started, some articles say it's 10-30k. I own a few different types of crypto. None of them are worth a ton, but overall I am up a few dollars literally.

    I don’t think they kept him in NYS the whole time. 

    In an interview with WETM, he said he was living in CT and worked in NYC when he captured PNut and took him home (to CT), then brought him along when he moved to Pine City last year.

    Even assuming that his timeline is truthful, they should have known both the gun and squirrel were illegal when they came to Pine City 18 months ago. Ignorance of the law isn’t a valid excuse... yada yada.

    They absolutely knew the squirrel was illegal when they lied to DEC in January. And still hadn't bothered with a license 10 months later. 🤷‍♀️

    I did not hear the part about CT, so I apologize if I was wrong.

    CT does have stricter gun laws than NY, so it would have been illegal there also.
