Tim’s!

One of the things I miss most about Seattle is Tim’s Cascade style potato chips. I’ve regularly had them in Boulder/Denver, and our local Albertson’s carried them for about a week here in central OK. My dear wife brought back from Border’s tonight two snack-size bags of Tim’s. Awesome!

I know they can be ordered through their website, though I’ve never done it.

BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW……..I didn't

May 14 came and went and I missed it. I missed celebrating C.A.L.E.A. Day. That is the day that broadband and Voice over Protocol providers must be in full compliance with the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. The law aims to create an instant switch to turn on and collect data about suspicious types. Think I will have a beer anyway.

Sometime between Tues. and June 1st Generation XIII (Brood XIII) will make it’s appearance in parts of the Mid-West and East. That’s when the Periodical Cicadas, after 17 years sucking on the roots of trees, will

appear, do their thing, and die after 30 days. The sound they make is quite annoying I understand.

Meanwhile in Washington D.C. bookies are taking bets whether the head of the Justice Department will last 30 days.

Sorry ‘Bout That…..

I’m referring to the lack of posts lately on my part…… I’ve had an serious illness in the family and things have been quite turned upside down lately….. Now that all has seemed to stabilized somewhat I plan to get back into the groove….. At least, that is the plan……. Of course, any posts from any of our other community members would be welcome…… Just a subtle request from MR Central Command……
