Avoiding Pink Discs

Insalata caprese, made from mozzarella, tomato...

We went out for dinner Saturday night with another couple.  They, like me, are big carnivores and since I don’t get a lot of support on that here at Rancho Deluxe, the chance to hit a Brazilian Rodizio place is a big plus.  If you’ve never been, most of these places, sometimes known as churrascarias,  feature people walking around with various grilled meats on large, sword-like skewers.  They come to your table and slice off whatever you want.  In addition, most of these joints have fantastic salad bars which can serve as meals all by themselves (and in the case of the vegetarians in your party, do!).

As I was at the salad bar, something stuck me which I’d like to share.  No, someone didn’t toss a roll at me – it’s more about one dish that was there. Continue reading

Tin Ear

Current logo was used since 1986

Sometimes you just have to say you can’t make this stuff up.

As I’m hitting the computer this morning, Twitter is buzzing over a big aftershock that hit Haiti. Horrible breaking news that affects millions of people and, now, thousands of relief workers as well.

I read in the Times online about the election result in Massachusetts and how it could affect the lives of millions by impacting the health care legislation.

As I’m getting ready to go to some meetings today, I flipped on The Today Show thinking I’d learn a little more about these topics on the 7:30 news update. Right?

Not so much. Top Story? A rumor that Tiger Woods is at a sex rehab clinic in Mississippi, complete with a live stand-up from a reporter NBC sent there, a story that impacts 2 people directly.  Frankly, I was so shocked by the choice of stories that I didn’t really hear what the guy was saying other than that the clinic is becoming a tourist attratction.

NBC News is a respected news organization that ought to know a lot better.  Or maybe I’m the one with a tin ear and not their producers.  What do you think?

The Rules of the Road

Stop sign used in various countries. The shape...

How many near disasters have you had on the road lately? I’ve had a few although from chatting with friends it sounds as if not as many as some. But I’ve seen a few accidents of late as well as a dozen more near misses and I’m pretty sure I know why these things are occurring. It’s reflective of other things going on away from the road too.
