Rick and Dave went head to head this morning on the issue of health care workers' right to strike. Dave supports the Premier fully, but Rick thinks the Premier is only doing this for political gain and thinks it's leading the province down a slippery slope. I was listening to them both all hour and agreeing with one and then agreeing with the other and then going back again! I guess it's pretty much a non-issue until Stephen MacNeil changes his mind and decides to support it. It's actually pretty much a non-issue until the legislature is called back!!! They need 30 days notice, so hmm...who's taking bets that the leg won't sit until 2008?
Did you see the picture of the minivan on top of the car on the front of the Mail-Star this morning? I was reading the police report in shock. Here is what it says:
At 11:57 AM A 57 year old male was backing out the parking lot at 5 Dentith Road in Halifax when his foot got stuck under the accelerator of his vehicle. He went backwards across four lanes of traffic, jumped a curb, which sent him air born into the South Center Mall parking lot. The vehicle came to rest on top of an empty vehicle in front of Canadian Tire. A second vehicle also had some minor damage. The driver of the run away vehicle was taken to hospital for treatment of non life threatening injuries. The matter remains under investigation but charges are not likely.
Now, I asked Rick about this, being new to having a car and all. Last time I checked, if I were to put my foot under the gas pedal, my car wouldn't start accelerating. And, since I have two legs, I would probably take the other leg and put it on the brake. Is it just me? What a bizarre story and thank goodness no one was hurt.
I'm in shock over this Sobey's day-old thing. Rick thought it would have been a bigger issue on the show today! The stuff that is a day old is now getting thrown out instead of being marked down. That's a shame. I know seniors buy a lot of this product, along with students and I've even bought day old bread. It's great for croutons or even to make some garlic bread or something. Who doesn't like a deal? Given the fact the grocery store competition is so fierce here, hopefully Sobeys will change its mind on this issue.
So, Rick loves the Ryan Duffy's caesar salad! He raved so much about it, I'll have to check it out myself. Bill Spurr and Rick go way back, it was fun to listen to them razz each other and talk about one of my favourite things - food!!! Rick was over the moon when he heard about not one, but two places in N.S. to get goulash soup! He says he's planning to go to the Colby Alehouse this weekend, so a big "danke" to the man who called with that information.
Rain tomorrow....but then Cindy Day tells me Sunday looks a bit better, so don't despair!
Have an excellent weekend!!
Talk to you Monday,
Amber

Good evening Amber...
Yeah its Saturday evening and raining..good nite to be at home enjoying the peacefullness.
One of those days where you sit around watching TV or a movie , read a couple of newspapers and think about all that is going on in this crazy world.
Should a person be concerned about all that is going on from wars to predictions of wars, and the fear that our time on earth is limited due to environmental disasters created by governments and affecting climate change?
Should we be worried about the food we eat and the water we drink and where it comes from?
thats an easy answer'YES"
Be very worried...from "Mad cow" "bird flu" "salmonila" on veggies from the use of "raw sewage" sprayed on farmers fields to the use of "high metal fertilizers" from sewage and other sludge used by municapalities because federal and provincial give their approvals??
Be afraid indeed.
Be very afraid.
By and support "organic " farmers. They are our only hope in getting good quality foods right now.
Just because something says " government approved" doesn't mean it is safe to eat or drink.
Our governments have a reputation of screwing up on many issues. Farming is one of them. Government inspectors are useless. They will do as they are told and will turn a blind eye to various infractions made by manufactors, and processors of various food producers.
I was a Federal Inspector for the Federal Dept of Fisheries sometime back , so I know what I am talking about..
And Goulash soup is known in CB as hamburger soup. And a great ceaser salad can be had at Goodies in The Cambridge Suites in Sydney...the best I have ever had outside of my own creations of Ceaser salads...chicken cearers being my best....drop by sometime and I'll feed you Rick....but NO WHITE SOCKS pls...
I'll even throw in a free tour of Boularderie Island..
Come see it now before Rodney MacDonald and his Tory puppets allow it to be completly destroyed by STRIP MINING.
I'll be listening on Monday for hopefully another great show...
Hopefully there will be nothing if not very little about " CAT BY -LAWS"
Open your eyes folks...there are far worse things going on in this world than a Cat By-Law.
And if you do own a cat, a person has to worry about what is being fed to the cats as well..
The whole world is being poisioned by the very things that we need to sustain life..Food , water and the air we breath..
And its the governments ,farmers and food processors that are doing it.
Rick, think about that beef in your goulash soup, where it came from and what it was raised on..even the pasta and tomatos could have come from fields sprayed with human waste or grown in fields where sludge is used to increase productivity. or beef cattle is injected with hormones and anti-biotics, right down to the hopps used to make the beer grown in non-organic fields.
Please enjoy your meal.
