What's up with tomato prices? Ate at a restaurant we frequent "Nikki's" in Richardson and a sign said "No tomatoes served until further notice". Seems they are on such a close profit margin that they can't serve tomatoes on burgers. Stopped by Tom Thumb and saw that tomatoes were $3.69 per lb. Have contacted Bill Riley, VP Sales and Marketing at California Sun Dry Tomatoes to get the skinny.

Kmart buying Sears
K-Mart never had appliances and had no reputation for service," said Kurt Barnard, an independent retail analyst. "That's an honor that belongs to Sears. And Kmart has reputation for low prices, which Sears never has had."
Does this mean now K-Mart will now have appliances and still no service, or will Sears still have appliances but now no service????????

Clinton's library
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Whether Bill Clinton's presidential library breaks the mold by drawing more than 300,000 visitors a year and driving central Arkansas' economy, only time will tell.
I can't wait to see the "Blue Dress" " exhibit.

Larry Powell's "Pets"
Since Larry Powell's unexpected exit from the DMN, his enjoyable "Pets and Leisure"column will no longer appear, see: Changes in your newspaper . You can still find some of his enjoyable features at Read Larry Powell .
I intend to start, although without the same skill as Larry, a similar fun-reading "Front Page News in 19__" as I make a weekly trip to the archives at the library. Larry is sorely missed from the Metro section. Also, since Bill Deore, the award-winning editorial cartoonist, has also met the same fate, anyone with any kind of drawing ability is encouraged to send their creations to me so we can have something other than non-relevant syndicated crap.

Dazed and Wondering
Watched a DVD of "Dazed and Confused" last night and am wondering if the 70's is when everything started to go to hell. For those of you who haven't seen this film made in 93', it centers around "The last day of the school year for the Class of 76". Mindless babble from incoming freshmen and seniors who spend their days and nights getting dope, getting drunk and not getting laid. There was no plan for tomorrow.
For those of us who grew up in the 60's, although we did some of the same things didn't we at least have some sort of direction. Even in the great classic "American Graffiti" the days and nights were spent getting drunk and trying to get laid (grass hadn't quite made the "hip" scene yet) but they all had jobs and although disenchanted they were at least motivated.
I guess my rant is "bad behavior is acceptable as long as you have a plan for tomorrow, even though it might just be to get high, get drunk and try to get laid".

Head of world's largest gay church resigns
By STEPHANIE SANDOVAL / The Dallas Morning News
Michael Piazza has resigned as dean of Cathedral of Hope, the world's largest gay and lesbian church, to lead a nonprofit, social justice activist group sponsored by the church.
"As a gay person who has been in love with the same man for 24 years, I am sick and tired of my relationship being used as a threat to turn out right-wing voters," Mr. Piazza said in the letter. "The fight for justice cannot wait."

Cheney Visits Hospital for Tests
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a history of heart attacks, went to a Washington hospital on Saturday after experiencing shortness of breath but later left for home and said he was fine.
According to sources, Cheney later issued a statement through his spokesman Sen. Patrick Leahy saying, either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself."
Cheney would not confirm using the word.
"That's not the kind of language I usually use," the vice president said in an interview.
When asked if he had cursed at Leahy, Cheney answered, "Probably."
"Do you have any regrets?," Neil Cavuto asked.
"No. I said it," the vice president responded.

Krystal's
Many of you in the Midwestern States and the South may have taken an institution for granted over the years. This week, a Dallas suburb opened the first Krysal's in Texas. As you can read in the following paragraph from the Dallas Morning News, Krystal's has been accepted with open mouths. (For those of you who don't know about Krystal's it is the cousin of the great "White Castle " burger.)
"Some drove 45 miles to wait nearly two hours in line for the famous bite-size burger, and others drove off after waiting awhile, but nothing was going to make Carol Gill budge and forgo the chance to taste her beloved treat at Carrollton's first Krystal.
"Are you kidding?" said Ms. Gill, 54, when asked why she drove from Fort Worth to Carrollton. "We've waited 12 years for this."
Ms. Gill waited in line for more than an hour at lunchtime. "

Many times on my ventures back to Dayton, one of the first stops I made upon arriving was to the White Castle to get my fix. Now I can sit back and enjoy them in my own backyard.
Yes, I think we have finally achieved perfection in Texas.
