Yesterday when my wife and I rode out bicycles over to the corner coffee shop there was a young girl selling freshly picked peaches from their orchard. They were juicy and delicious. It is a real treat to be able to eat peaches that were picked at their prime and not to have over ripened and rotting bits in them. > |

I find it a little hard to enjoy on its own, though many people eat it that way. I usually have it with fruit or a tiny drizzle of honey. |

I've hat them ripen and be fantastic, but I've had mealy disappointments too. Local peaches this year have not been so good but I'm going to check them out today at the Farmer's Market. If I get good ones I may make peach ice cream. |

The amazing thing about being a blue collar worker is that you get to leave the damned job at the job. I found myself noodling around a programming problem while I was at home last night. Fella at work says he's going to be a Walmart greeter after he retires. He'll never lay away at night wondering "Should I have said 'Welcome to Walmart' just a bit differently to that guy?"

Did I do "real work" on that Silicon Valley bird-killing-glass-windowed 2nd floor? Yer damn straight I did!! (the stories I can tell!) Anyone sitting at a desk can do real work and usually does. Do they always? No. I learned stuff on my new computer and made some perato charts. They were data gleaned from a high frequency matching network --which I once operated-- but could have easily been the distance my paper boy hadda toss the paper, every morning. They stayed posted fer nearly one yr! IOW, bogus work-fer-show. I also learned to play a first shooter video game, but discovered I'm not really the video game type. Soooo yes, a carpet commando can be a complete waste of time/$$$$. OTOH, I eventually learned to be a CAD drafter/designer/engineer. Learning how to even use AutoCAD(TM) required special training. Plus, I usta spend 2 nights a week (my own time!) improving my education. IOW, I ended up designing the things I usta build. Without my desk-bound efforts, the production floor --where I also once worked-- would have nothing to do. Do both, then we'll talk. nb |

How many times do you hear I'm retired, how did I ever work, I don't have enough time to do all the stuff around here I need to. If I ever decided to work it would be just as you say, small pay, small responsibilities. I know it's a luxury not to have to. nancy |

Explain that to my shipper. He thinks he is the only one that really works. In spite of his short minded thinking he was a great worker. |

Well, even anti-social types can have work "pot luck" situations. The guy who'd bring in the cheapest and easiest possible contribution was the same one who never missed filling up on free food everyone else brought. There's always one. nancy |

The people on the mainland seem to like the food so I believe that Jollibee might be trending in a few years. It seems like America might be ready for spaghetti with no spices and a heaping amount of sugar. Amazing! The great part for some folks is that you can get a Spam sandwich as well as a canned corned beef sandwich there. I doubt you can find that anywhere else. Halo halo could be a big thing on the mainland. I have a good feeling about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_rC7WGBHw |

At the local golf course at the end of The Big Bash (a huge party/pig out by the lake) Ray the course owner insisted that folks take all the food and booze home or it would be dumped. I didn't take any but many would pour the left over booze into one bottle. I guess alkies don't care about swigging gin mixed with rum. I know that Ray would have thrown everything left over into the dumpster, he's in the same economic class as Trump, a very generous guy... he owns many high end golf courses and several other businesses, plus he's heavy into very expensive real estate, multi million dollar residenses with fabulous mountain vistas. Ray is also a builder, he carved out his mountain side golf courses himself... to find him look for the old guy in raggedy clothing operating monster earth moving equipment. He loves those huge machines, he maintains them himself. Ray is not pretentious, you'd never know he's worth billions. |

I think it would be different if someone who was putting on a big bash, paying for it etc. offered for people to do that, but I don't think it is especially good manners for a couple to do that in a sneaky way, but it got to be a running joke about Matt and Edna for years.

The people on the mainland seem to like the food so I believe that Jollibee might be trending in a few years. It seems like America might be ready for spaghetti with no spices and a heaping amount of sugar. Amazing! The great part for some folks is that you can get a Spam sandwich as well as a canned corned beef sandwich there. I doubt you can find that anywhere else.
