I have put away my share of Nathans hotdogs when we were in NYC on Vacation a few years back, BUT I have no thoughts of eating upwards of 50 dogs in the short time allowed for the compitition, , dammmmm I could have been a contender hahahaha well we started out the day a little later than planed , the PORK roast is defrosting , YES PORK , I talked her into a hunk of Pulled pork today not her standard POTROAST , so it will get the "treatment " soon, & be in the oven , "Pulling the pork"will happen some time this afternoon, If I can get her away from the sunday paper hahahaha , if not I have a Masterpiece in the humi with my name on it , looks like I will be smoking it rather than "pulling the pork " with the wife hahahaha , her comment was , your to old well it was just a thought anyhow ! I pulled out the sunday paper & there is a story about the school district merger in Monaca ( the shop is on Penna. Ave in Down town Monaca ) & Center Twp, the residential /Farm area arround the town , well Center Twp has a 1% mercantile tax , Monaca has NONE , well the people of center want to add all the business's in Monaca to the tax , & the mercantile tax has been rulled illeagle by the state coart , BUT Center twp was grandfathered in to let it stand, well now thay want to include us in the tax after the state court said no more mercantile tax in the state but we will let stand what is in place right now, , & since the school board in Center is the BIG money behind the merger into the new district they want to control the shots, taxes 7 run the new board, well a few who are from the orginal Monaca school board are up in arms about it & there is a LOVE /hate , relationship between them, this merger should have happened years ago but the people in power didnt want to give it up, , its still the same , , the boards just cant get along , , kind of like the congress ! BUT I am getting away from the story on the paper & the tax, , , , it seams as the local news paper sent a potographer into town for some photos, Low & behold , there we are on the front page , , taken from a distance mind you, but the Stars & Strips , POW & USN Flags are standing proud in front of the shop as I am sitting in a lawn chir talking to a few customers outside , puffing a Don Gonzalezes Maduro Churchill, sipping coffee & passing away the time with TONS of B.S. hahahaha just like any other day ....... Last night we went to listen to a bunch of Student mucic performances , the Number 2 grandson has been playing the electric 6 string "GEETAR" so last night he had his " debute" in a bar with his teacher & a few other students, now the kid is only 11 & has been 'playing for a few months , but he was a dancer before this 7 his older brother has been playing Piano for about 7 years now & he has been paying close attention to the music & picking up bits & pieces over the time & , last night Page & Plant would have been Proud of the "Lead" this Kid pumped out , the songs were popular about the time his Mother was born hahahaha , so now we have a Piano & Guitar , anyone play base or drums? hahaha , Glad I got rid of the banjo or they might have forced me to learn to play that thing, Hummmm maybe I should take up the bagpipes, No chance of that getting into a rock band hahahahaha ...................... One of my Favorite "cheep "single malts a 10 YO called Spayburn is being discontinued by the Pa. state run , monopoly no nothing , not caring over priced under educated, "STATE " employees , well for years it has bennin the 25 dollar range & the price jumped a little while back , but it was still a bargain at the new price , IMHO anyhow, well the sales declined & now all stock is being sold out at 15 BUCKS a bottle, , I gave my brother in law 45 bucks & had him pick me up 3 from the shop he works near, & I went on a tour of the county & bought up all I could afford , Now I have a small storage space problem , BUT I will be sipping single malt for a long time to come hahaha .............. Coffee this morning was a fine pot of fresh ground Kona made in the press pot, with a little distraction it brewed a few minutes longer than the normal 3/3.5 minutes , more like 20/25 today, BUT it was still GOOD, a little cooler than I like it , BUT I did get the newspaper way from the wife for a few minutes hahahahaha ............. I was back on the radio last Monday , did ther Memorial day fill in spot from 6 am till 10 am , had a lot of Fun, talked to a few nice old friends & a few new friends & of couse the OLD CRABS that will always be there !! The Cigar crawl is a blur in my mind, check out the photos at www.cigarcrawl.com , maybe you can join in next time ! ..... if you dare, remember its a weekend of smoking drinking & eating , if you cant run with the big dogs , you better stay on the porch ............

I switched to a pot of moca java , the kona was grand but over powered by the partagas, as wll as the Moca jave being over powered by the same cigar , but I have a white lable monte ready for after lunch & the moca java will be fine with it , I just wonder if I will be able to taste it after the Partagas .................... we had a great week at the shop, got in a few new sticks , the Rocky Patel spring line with Pa. Tobacco in the blend is selling well, I did ENJOY ye ole Winter blend, that DARK wrapper with the bright band, it was a real smoke ! , the nice green band on the spring line is Ok, but not as Stunning on the Eye as the winer blend.

I stopped reading at "BVDs"


...i work with few people that HAVE jobs (obviously) AND they get welfare/foodstamps. those guys are the worst. I hate to work with them. they usually last less than 3 months. every single one was morbidly obese, annoying, overbearing, presumptuous, had no qualms about asking for freebies, no clue when it comes to etiquette or other social mores, and would not understand the vast majority of the vocabulary used in this sentence. I have very little sympathy for them or their situation.
im a jerk. who knew?

Man, any excuse to sip some wine, huh Geno? Just kidding pal. I'd agree with these points to a degree. But I think on these types of posts we fall victim to hyperbole sometimes. There are egregious examples of people who abuse the welfare system and it's probably a fair amount of them. And a fair amount of slackers. But it ain't everybody...a welfare system with tight and reasonable controls is necessary. Not everybody is abusing the system, some people are trying like hell to feed their kids for whatever reason (sometimes beyond their control) just can't for the moment.

I agree Luko (especially about the wine haha) About not everyone is abusing the system ...Thats my point that some people really need this help to get back on their feet but are made too feel like second class citizens because of the slackers and others and that is wrong ...

Yep, what I was trying to say, just not as succinctly. I've known a few families on welfare throughout my years and all the ones I knew were comprised of good, decent people in difficult situations that were (partially) not of their own doing. Without this system, they would have been out in the cold.

I agree there are some people who loose a job & need a little help till the next job comes along, what Ticks me off are then 2nd, 3rd, & 4th GENERATIONS living off the system & NO ONE HAS EVER HAD A JOB.
