I see ads for businesses/restaurants in Georgia. Sometimes I see ads
for shops/restaurants in Charleston. None of the ads I see are local.
It would take me at least three hours to get to Charleston.

But hey, there *is* a Golden Corral in Beaufort. I simply have no
interest in going there.

Hey thanks for this idea, sf. I almost forgot to respond. I looked at
the recipe and also googled images for it. Noted that it's a very
popular recipe. I see no reason why I couldn't substitute blueberries. I
might not even use lemon zest...that doesn't sound right to me. Just
cook blueberries in some sugar?

Regardless of what I do, thank you for the nice sounding idea. Like I
really need to be making dessert food right now.. ;-o

Put them on raw, no need to cook first. You don't even need to press
them in, because they'll sink on their own. I learned the hard way
with plums - I pressed them partway in and they sank too low to look
as pretty as the picture... didn't show at all on the top.

I was thinking the lemon zest could be combined with the sugar
sprinkle, replacing cinnamon (which I don't think will work with
blueberries). I wouldn't use very much sugar, just a light sprinkle.
Lemon and blueberries go together very well, I used to make a nice
lemon sauce to go over slices of blueberry quick bread/cake.

of course cinnamon and blueberries go together!

also try lime zest -- as good as or better than lemon

I call bullshit. Show stats for this claim.

Louisville has had deep cuts in funding for the homeless recently and
steep drops in numbers.

The homeless are nomadic. they move to wherever they can get more of
whatever they need. There are homeless everywhere, not just in the
urban centers... there are more homeless now than there were just a
few years ago in the very rural village where I live... they are not
burdonsome but they are here. Some here are living in cars. They use
the bathrooms in supermarkets to clean up as best they can. Many are
Veterans with severe health issues who the VA won't/can't help... they
refuse to live in the sub par crowded conditions the VA supplies and I
don't blame them, they are safer living on the streets. The few who
congregate here will be gone as soon as winter arrives, there is
nowhere to escape the bitter cold.

The high price of housing and our balmy tropical setting makes Hawaii the perfect home for the homeless. Things are just nuts here.

Nomadic in the sense they have no permanent home and are rousted
regularly?

Otherwise, nonsense. You think they just pull out the frequent flyer
card and bop off to greener pastures?
