I avoid Google products as much as possible. I've found them very intrusive and have never cared much for them as far as useability.

RE: An interesting local wildlife story
Just heard an NPR piece on pawpaws. There are festivals in Ohio, but the reason they are not more widespread is they do not hold well.

RE: That's some expensive balsamic vinegar
You can get a great balsamic for $25-30 at a specialty oil and vinegar place, and a balsamic fig glaze at Kroger for $4. It’s as much as you’ll ever need.

John Legend was born in Springfield. He had something to say.

Yep. He went to my high school. Saw him with the symphony Tuesday night. Fantastic show, and a truly amazing talent. He had a lot of family there and a dozen or so got up to sing with him.

DeWine is an excellent governor and a good man. I used to know the family.

It’s good to have pets you could eat in a pinch.

RE: Sheetz
Interesting. I tried to get Janet to stop at a Sheetz Sunday when we wanted a bite, but she declined, and we went to an Arby's with an overwhelming sewer smell and a young lady ralphing in the bathroom.

RE: Branzino
I first got it at an Italian place in Arlington Heights. Same little strip center as Retro Bistro. It became my goto spot for dinner there. Delicious fish. He served it whole and I'd bet cooked like wtg said. Vite Via I think was the name of the place maybe?

RE: Raised garden bed (add: and other cool garden stuff)
I'm having a use crisis with my herbs. I'm finding I might not use enough of them to make it worthwhile. This year I only grew basil, thyme and rosemary, and used really very little of any of it.

I can appreciate it more than love it.

RE: Like a vulture...
@wtg said in Like a vulture...:
Like people, vultures get set in their ways and have fewer friends as they age
Older birds tend to have more selective friendships with stronger bonds and may know better where to find food
This vulture is hungry. Anybody have any good restaurant recommendations?
Vultures like roadside places. Me, I’d kill for a good Italian Beef right now.

RE: What are you doing for Labor Day?
We plan to blow our noses. A lot. It's following the consistent pattern - two days feeling crummy, a couple weeks of feeling fine but lots of runny nose and coughing.

RE: Knee replacement surgery
@wtg said in Knee replacement surgery:
@Mik You probably have seen a ton of disasters in your line of work. I think I remember you saying that you encountered some real problems when you yourself were hospitalized some years back.
It amazes me how many holes are in the system.
Yes. You have to have the backbone to be your own advocate.
