The big bang...

It looks like bloggers start out with a bang they it subsides. Just looked at a few. First year many posts then they dwindle down to very few. I hope I can keep my interest up. I kinda like it.

I actually kept my mouth shut...

On the way to work yesterday, I stopped to get my lottery tickets. There was a young kid ahead of me. He was looking for some tobacco product. I wanted to say, "Save your money, save your life". I didn't. Pretty good. Then he asks the young girl behind the counter if she wanted to see his ID. She waved her hand and said, "No, that's alright". After the kid left and while she was scanning my tickets, I wanted to tell her that she made a poor decision not to check the ID. A few years back, I was on the Board of Health of a small town. One of the constant problems on the table was the fact that a local gas station was not carding kids. They would send in young kids to see if the gas station was following the rules. They never did. They were shut down a few times. It kind of bothered me, but hey, they were trying to protect the kids from tobacco. Anyway, I could not tell this clerk all this and I actually kept my mouth shut. Who am I, the tobacco police? If I see her do that again, I might say something. And not be able to actually keep my mouth shut.
Now I 'm going to begin to prepare a pork tenderloin. I will fumble around with recipes, but end up with the same basic ingredients, garlic, bay leaves, etc. I'll let you know how it turns out.
(Just did the spell check and no misspelled words, pretty good)
