Hmmm! Interesting! I heard good things about Rhode Island cuisine. In all my travels around I have NEVER had as good Italian food as I have right here. I did go to a few Italian restaurants in Florida, the only thing they had in common with Italian restaurants here was that the sauce was red, but that was where the camparison stopped. MY favorite Pizza place here started in 1914. It has been in operation for 93 years. It is in it's 3rd generation. http://http://www.uticapizza.com

I stopped drinking soda pop since they went to corn syrup. It leaves a slime in my mouth. At first, I thought it was me. But, my daughter, when she was a little girl, would rather have a diet soda, not even knowing anything about corn syrup. Until this day, she probably never had a soda sweetened with cane sugar.
Wanna talk about canned sauces? They dump corn syrup in then too. I happen to live in town that has the best Italian food you can imagine. The only time they used sugar in their sauces was when that particular batch of tomato's was a little bitter, otherwise, it was never used. Now, it is a matter of course to use sugar by manufacturers.
But, don't be fooled, they use sugar because the other stuff they put in is junk. Sugar covers up bad stuff.

I vent too because it pisses me off dumping corn syrup in everything. Salad dressings are just as bad as ketchup. Pick up a bottle and you will see corn syrup near the top of the list of ingredients. I don't want f**king corn syrup on my salad.
How did that happen anyway? The basic recipe for a dressing is vinegar and oil and herbs. It's not vinegar, oil AND corn syrup.
The Atkin's diet guy says they dump sugar into everything to make crappy ingredients taste good.
I did find ONE salad dressing that tastes good and is without sugar. It is Ken's Steak House Itailian "Dressing and Maranade". Not any of the other Ken's Italian dressings, just the "Dressing and Maranade" one. It boasts one carb per serving.

I once did a blog on how much sugar was in ketchup. Then, the second and third ingredient was corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup, both of which are sugars, highly refined sugars. That made ketchup almost as sweet as the equivalent amount of cane sugar, table sugar.
Good news! Heinz now makes a Ketchup that has 75% less sugar than their regular ketchup. Now, in the ingredients list, the very last one is sucralose, which is Splenda.
I bought a bottle and guess what? It tastes more like ketchup than their regular ketchup. When I eat it, it doesn't feel as if I stuck my tongue in and licked a sugar bowl.
They, food producers, will sell you what ever will sell. If I had my way, I'd buy the reduced sugar Ketchup, and take the rest of the sugar and turn it into bio-fuel and put it in my Westy.

I have a suggestion for you. There is going to be a campout near you this coming Memorial Day weekend in Northern New Jersey. Why not stop by for a day and talk to the folks there, especially the ones with the New jersey license plates. I'm positive you will get some solid leads. Check out this page to get all the details http://http://www.limbobus.org/witw07.htm

Buses by the Buoy 2007 will be held in Lubec, Maine September 7-8-9 at the Southbay Campground. That is 580 miles from my house. Quite a trek to get up there. That is definitely NOT a weekend trip for me.

I remember once, for some reason or other, I tossed my old sneakers into one of those half moon shaped gym bags at the end of summer. Man, when I opened that gym bag, my eyes watered and I think I lost my sense of smell for a week. A maggot would have puked sniffing that.

When I was a kid I used to get them every summer. I'd wear them ALL summer long. By the end of the summer they were torn, dirty and stinky. Hell, the smell of those things could kill a rat at 20 paces.

 These men of otherwise good character have succumbed to the social pressures of high fashion placed upon them by a small section of the limbo club. The fear of social stigma was too much to bear. Lacking will power they caved in to Chuck Taylor's fashion standard.

There has been some talk of a certain member of the limbo club who resembles a gnome. Through careful analysis, I determined that there are more gnomes in limbo than meets the eye. This photo analysis reveals the truth.   This photoraphic evidence reveals that some members may be hiding their gnome-ship by taking growth hormones. But the truth is finally revealed. So WHO is the real gnome?

My best guess is cruise control. I installed them in my cars and trucks since they first came out. Being tall, I loved them.
Anyways, they had beaded ends on them for length adjustment and some models attached right to the gas pedal. There was also some wiring to the brake pedal light switch that would disengage the cruise control when pressed. And lastly they ran on vacuum. I remember tapping into a vacuum hoses for this vacuum cylinder about 3 inches in diameter or so that did the actual pulling.
I also remember attaching a magnet to the drive shaft and mounting a little pickup sensor over the magnet.
Good Luck... Phil

Rich promised us pictures when he goes to pick up his Westy. I'm pretty sure he will follow through, there are too many folks who want to know the outcome of all his work and effort.
I've seen it all. There were spammers making posts about cosmetic surgery. As if I would pick a Doctor from a spammer and have him slice open my face and fill me full of drugs. Yep, that is who I would chose, a Doctor from spam.
