    no longer can afford to live

    You didn't mention the item that inflated 7.6% in a week. If it was not a life or death choice, why buy it? Most things we buy, is because we want not because we can't do without.

    WAR DECLARED in Israel

    Have not both sides of this conflict practiced acts of terror since the 1930's-40's? Let's face it, there is no easy, quick solution to the mid-east problems, maybe not a solution at all. I know for sure that I don't have the answers, and I dare say nor does any one. one

    Thunderstorm in NW Arkansas last night

    "I woke last night to the sound of thunder. how far off I sat and wondered". I find most of my night moves consist of trips to the bathroom between 1 and 3 A.M. But, as the song goes, I remember!

    Head Cheese

    My mom made both head cheese and minced meat. Her minced meat pies contained real meat, unlike today's store bought. Rendered lard and I would eat my fill of cracklins, again not like today's pork skins. Back in the day I had several meals of pickled pig feet and beer.
