Fresh tomatoes! Great for a late night snack.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone! Hope you all had a good evening, and also hope you all have a great day today.
Coffee, juices, tea and lemonade are ready to go, and on the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, fresh cantaloupe and watermelon chunks.
Well, it's time for me to go get ready for this morning's Tuesday Produce zoo of people. See you all later.

Story (maybe a repeat) - My father enjoyed sliced tomatos with sugar on them (pretty tasty - I like 'em that way, too). As a result, the picnic table usually included a salt shaker with sugar in it. It was different from the salt and pepper shaker set, so we didn't mix them up.
My uncle was a sheriff's deputy. If he was on patrol in our area around dinner time on Sundays, he'd sometimes drop by for a burger, etc. On one occasion he grabbed what he thought was the salt shaker and liberally applied the contents to his hamburger. It was OK until he took a bite....
He gratiously ate the hamburger, but always checked carefully from then on....
I'll be in the corner with my bearclaw and tea.

Since it's going to be a very warm day, lunch is going to be:
1. Tuna salad sandwiches w/your choice of chips or fries
2. Tomatoes filled with tuna or cottage cheese
3. Open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, and choice of cole slaw or garden salad
We ended up with 99 people at Produce this morning. On the truck today was lettuce mix (iceburg, romaine, green and purple cabbage, grapefruits, and watermelons. They only brought us 35 watermelons, so the first 35 were the only ones to get a watermelon.
Taking requests for supper tonight. If any of you have a request, please let me know what they are, no later than 4 p.m. EDT, so I can get it prepared. Thank you!
....Anyone watching GM's CEO, Wagner being interviewed this morning....and then watching the President's news conference, must have similar feelings I seem to have right now. Where to next......?? How far is all of this going.....??
Uncharted territory.
Perhaps we're all looking at any sign of hope as to when we might start to get out of this.....Just a bit scary.

A poster on a non-railroad forum I'm on is forecasting doom-and-gloom. I've no doubt we may be in for some rough times, it's just a question of who's gonna get hurt - the risk takers who put us here, or the little people who are simply trying to get by.
I've come to the conclusion that $4 gas may be taking a chunk out of my life, but that $5+/hour that's gonna be running through my oil-fired furnace this winter will be a bigger factor.

Quentin, I can't see things getting better until the troops come home. The economy should get a boost when the Guardsmen return to their regular jobs.
The Canadian dollar is back above the Greenback, so we're seeing fewer US tourists up here this summer. There will be more Canadians cross-border shopping or touring the USA, which should be good news for communities near the Canadian border.
....It is NOT a pretty picture right now....
afternoon
headlines in the paper at the babershop.GM more cuts...Food stamp demand increases... Larry I'm worried about how much more it will cost to heat our home this winter too.(we have natural gas).We saw the maw waddle some cars to the csx siding and The Y101 for csx has to use the crossover at FC to get the switching done.The crossover by the yard needs work.Cw thanks for supper.
Since no one had any requests for supper, here is what I've come up with:
Small scale Mexican Fiesta:
Tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, Spanish rice, beef &bean burritos, beef burritos enchilada style, tamales,
Joe, a container is fixed for your supper tonight at work, and is waiting in the fridge for you. Hope you have a good evening at work.
We are also wondering how these fuel prices are going to affect us this winter, as far as heating and cooking goes. And our local gas & electric company keeps wanting to raise prices, yet again. They just raised them not too long ago, if my memory is working correctly, along with the water bill.
You all enjoy your supper, and have a good evening.
Somehow I don't think fiesta food will make a good bedtime snack...
Just got done teaching a CPR class. Time for bed.

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Going to be another hazy, hot and humid day today. Larry, remember that there's plenty of cantaloupe and watermelon in the fridge, that makes a good bedtime snack, along with a bowl of cereal, or a bowl of ice cream.
Coffee, juices, tea (hot and iced) and lemonade are ready, and there's also plenty of Gatorade. On the breakfast bar this morning: cantaloupe, watermelon, fresh sliced pineapple, cold cereal, bagels and bear claws, and homemade muffins. Several different flavors on the muffins, including blueberry, strawberry, etc.
Could somebody give me a couple of suggestions for our noon and evening meals today?
....A warm start this morning....74 plus, so it will be a warm one today.
Willy - 20% here too - and we got 1.35 in rain. Some wind, some lightning - doesn't look to be too much damage so far. Nice 20%. 60% for Friday - wonder if it will rain at all?
Heard trains running overnite. Really have missed them. They weren't real busy, but sounded like a few loads of coal left town.
Tree - are they still using Annie for the CPR? Wasn't there a move afoot to only do chest compressions?
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw

Annie (or one of her counterparts - there are several) still attends every class.
There is a school of thought that doing just compressions is better than doing nothing, but proper CPR still requires ventilations.
Research has shown, however, that the old 5+2 ratio was next to useless - it takes about 10 compressions to even get effective circulation going, and when you stop to give a breath, that 'counter' resets to zero. For a while it was 15 compressions before giving a breath. Now we're up to 30.
Looks like a mid-morning shower - better go close the back-window slider on the truck.
Supposed to be 97 here today. Will gladly take some of Mookie and Willy's 20% to get rid of the red flag warnings.
Got our first tomatoes off the vine last night. Guess we keep an eye out for Uncle Pete's steam kettle tomorrow (know copcar will be out there somewhere, I will be working at Sand Creek)

The grand total at home was 3.41 inches. That matches up pretty well with what some other observations from my area were.
Friday will probably be sunny, hot, and dry.
Well, did a fast trip to the grocery this morning, before it gets too hot outside around here. We were running out of fruit punch, and I had run out of coffee (got myself a 1 lb. can of decaf.
Here is the menu for today:
Turkey sandwiches with your choice of the following cheeses: cheddar, provolone, and American
BLTs w your choice of potato chips or fries
Steak burgers
Side dishes: fresh red sliced tomatoes, your choice of green beans or green sweet peas w/carrots, apple sauce, cole slaw, potato salad, and cantaloupe and watermelon chunks.
Desserts: Dutch apple pie, chocolate cake, pound cake w/strawberries & whipped cream, and peach cobbler.
BLT & fries works for matt and I. The triple H's are here in nw ohio.staying inside and doing chores.Time to get stuff for work.
Mawnin'. I'm in early, so I will have a try at opening the place. On the counter, there are buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, link or patty sausage, grits, scrambled or fried eggs, some ham and cheese croissants, sausage and egg biscuits along with danishes, bear claws, jelly donuts and apple turnovers. Of course, juices and soft drinks or coffee as you may desire. Waffles are available by request.
Joe, what are the "triple Hs" ? I assume heat, humidity and ?
Everybody enjoy.

Good Thursday morning, everyone. Tom, thank you so much for fixing breakfast this morning! You really laid it out this morning: think you have just about everything anyone couldwant to eat this morning. Eerything looks so good, I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to have on my plate.
Tom, I don't know what Joe will say about the third "H" today, but I say it's for hazy! Think we'll be staying inside, as much as possible.
You all have a great morning, and see you later.
another Hazy,Hot and Humid one today here in nw ohio.(those are the triple H's Tom).Mamma and Matt are going to make a run to the store before it gets too warm.I'm sure most on here know to drink plenty of water on days like today.After a nap have some errands to run today and tonight its friday !!!! Keep cool.
Joe
....73 plus as I first check the instrument this morning....so that means another hot one. It is a bit hazy this morning with the sun shining thru the eastern neighbor's trees, and that means....Humidity.
We will gather up all the humidity and send it to Sir Chicken. Had another apartment fire - this time a fan cord with clothes piled on top of it - overheated. It rained on that fire, too. I guess if people are going to inadvertantly start fires, it sets off the overhead sprinklers in the sky. Neither apt bldg fire had sprinklers! Duh.
Had some coffee - you know what really sounds good this morning - dark chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Really! Maybe the heat is getting to me!
Mookee, would you settle for red velvet cake with strawberry icing? If so, coming right up. Joe, I couldn't figure out the hazy part. Thanks for the fill.
At present, 71 in Carolina with haze, expecting to get up to 92 today with thunder late.
Everyone stay cool and blow for crossings....
