Food and Politics

It’s “safe” to talk about those two things together…

It might make you fat

but your Soul won’t be

threatened

Cool.

my friend Al sent this to me…

“Over here in the blue states… it’s chicken…

not good old fashioned tasty fried chicken… oh heck no… we’re talking about some free range granola eating no artificial anything chickens…

thing of it is, we’re only allowed to eat skinless chicken breasts out here in the PNW.

Don’t know what they do with the rest of the chicken, but I’ve never seen it make it’s way to a dinner plate. But good news is it’s only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday… Friday is Fish…”

and that my friends is another story…

Do you know what I’ve learned in the five months I’ve had this blog up?

That some people care so much about what you write that they’ll pay people just to check you out.

At first I thought it was creepy

In the long run these readers made me realize the power of the written word.

Gracias Amigos

and this one

is dedicated to you.

It’s All In The Game

A long time ago

my oldest son played soccer.

Most of the parents insisted outfitting the kids in high cost pro style uniforms, they bought uniform bags, even special water bottles.

All of this stuff was embossed with the team logo…and before the game they’d line this stuff up on the ground and then they’d raise a custom made team banner over it all.

The kids were six years old

Some people take this stuff way to seriously like these guys…

By Associated Press

LACEY, Wash. (AP) – The Black Hills Junior Football League says the parents who brawled after a game in Lacey won’t be welcome back.

Police cited two people for assault after the weekend brawl involving at least 15 people at South Sound Stadium following game. The players are second- through fourth-graders.

The fight between Samoan and non-Samoan parents began with a dispute over loud cheering by parents. One man was treated at a hospital for a neck injury.

The football league president says the penalties against fighting parents won’t affect their child’s status on a team.
