Lake Mead could do with topping off ;-)

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Did you see John Stossel's report on Detroit? Kennedy's piece was interesting. What a leap from her MTV days.

I missed that :-(

Detroit is the scariest place I ever had to drive thru... even back in the '60's. ...Jim Thompson

So what happened in those places - excessive Uncle Sam financial "incentives"?

Houses being consumed by nature. One street that looked like people decided it would be the new garbage dump, piles and piles of garbage (including a dead body). She used the term "urban survivalists". Small groups in neighborhoods banding together. Raising chickens, bees, other food.

Here's a link to the video:

Yet across the street from Detroit, things look considerably better. The surrounding area is booming while Detroit dies. I wonder why that is?

Pamela and I were discussing that. I have already seen places that put in touch screens for the customers to order your food. Give it the typical card slot, go no-cash and the ordering side of things is there. Heck, make it voice response so it can actually say "Do you want fries with that" and it is done. A couple of Baxter robots to cook the food, and you are done!

Certainly more sanitary.

We had a case here (in Tempe) where a burger drive-up-window server spit in a cop's burger. It was caught on the security cameras, and the cop (actually the son of a marketing guy I knew at MicroRel) had to go thru all kinds of TB and HIV testing; and many preventative shots :-( ...Jim Thompson
