Timing: This is Rich

I'm on the Organic Consumers Association email list. Frankly, I do not share some of OCA's concerns, but I do share in the Association's hatred for Monsanto and the Big Monsanto (and others) - Big Government collusion. So I skim the emails just to keep up looking for a good laugh.

Today, at 12:11pm Central Time, while I was stewing over other things, I received my weekly newsletter. Here is the lead story in its entirety.

One (or two or three) liners

I spent more time than I otherwise might have today learning a bit about Warren G. Harding, the 29th American President. Lest you think that's all there was to my day, I present a few lines about a few other things that would have been post-worthy, had I not been learning about President Harding. 

I saw a pair of birds on the side of the road yesterday. I am not an ornithologist-- heck, I'm not even a serious birder-- but I once spent a year learning how to look at birds. The birds I saw were remarkable. I described them to Mr. Big Food as having feathers with a herringbone pattern, and a red spot near their heads. This description matched perfectly the photograph and size & coloration description of Spruced Grouse in my National Audubon Society Field Guide to Birds (Eastern Edition). There's only one problem with this identification. 

Lunch at High Noon

Late this morning, someone at High Noon Café in Jackson, Mississippi made me one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches-- I chose the real cheese option-- I've ever had.
