   What week the planting season starts has changed, too. So, between new varieties and (even more around here in the NE) with the planting season starting earlier due to climate change we ALREADY have 20¢ an ear local corn in grocery stores (cheaper in farm stands) and it is really good this year. The earliest used to be a month later here just a couple of decades ago.

   One thing i have noticed since CoVID was in pandemic stage is that supply chain problems still mess up availability of national and international products so they are less likely to be on sale than local products. Local products have great sales, and the ones which are not seasonal have their sales also happening more often.

   Friends in states scattered around the U.S. have encountered the same pattern. So, corn and tomatoes are cheap and great here, but those and celery and citrus, which are grown a lot near a set of friends thousands of miles away, are the reverse for pricing for our two families. Which varieties are available for produce also differs between us.

   It is very, very, very much how things were when we seniors were in our twenties and younger. Shades of the old days, all because of changes to the distribution industry.

   Many people have not revised their menu planning yet to reflect what is most available near them, but that is the best way to adjust to the distribution system having changed: cheaper and healthier and less polluting. Crave the old days? This was part of them! What was old is new again.

   Funny, but a better grasp of decimal points would have gone a long way to make it funnier. As written it is 0.8% or close to 1% of the vote. I SUSPECT that what was MEANT was either 0.008% or close to one one-hundreth of the electorate, or perhaps a number approaching one one-thousandth (8 in ten thousand instead of 10 in ten thousand). If the latter was meant then using the place-keeper 0 before the decimal point would be 0.0008%.

   I recall an interview Fred Sr had when he mentioned that Donald was on a transcontinental flight and then added that it would probably be good for everyone if it crashed.

   I do think that naming a Donald J Trump Federal Prison is a reasonable bid, though.

   They are not gold, but “Brassy Mustard”, a shade which needs to officially be labelled as “Trump’s Gold” just as there are specimens of Fool’s Gold.

   Not exorbitant. The fines requested were the amount he profited in saved interest by faking his evaluation level. He was finally fined 20 million dollars less than that amount, so he earned 20 million dollars, at least that will be the case if he ever pays and avoids interest on the fine.

   Yup, “These shoes were made for grifting”, a play on Nancy Sinatra’s “These boots were made for walking”.

    I put on my yellow lensed focus sharpening fitovers and enlarged the image and it does say “These shoes were made for grifting” which is good play on the Nancy Sinatra song, “These boots were made for walking”.
