fruits

COLUMBIA - Columbia’s Farmers’ Fresh Market will kick off its 16th year Saturday, offering area residents the opportunity to buy locally grown fresh produce, fruits, flowers and other items.

Not since the Tinky Winky and SpongeBob SquarePants scandals has the world of children's entertainment been rocked by such controversy. If the Christian fundamentalists weren't pleased when NBC removed religious references in VeggieTales, the following revelation is sure to have them beating their Bibles: Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato are actually big ol' fruits!

This makes me very unhappy. There won't be any local tomatoes available for probably another month, so I suppose I will just have to do without for a while (or buy those Canadian hydroponic tomatoes--ha!).

Yesterday the wife and I trekked out to Kroger for a fun time of grocery shopping. We spent a lot of time in and around the produce area prodding the guavas, poking the grapes, sniffing the bananas and squeezing the melons. (I think that sounded sufficiently dirty enough, son’t you?)

If the goal of a communications shop is to get publicity for its organization, then the TNGOP has no equal. They did it once.

Ok.  I know.  I’ve been remiss in posting.  I just haven’t seen anything that really excited me enough to tell you about.

Until now.

FYI... The City of Knoxville has a new Law Director - Debbie Poplin - the first woman law director in the city's history. I have known Debbie since she took an honors Political Science course I taught at UT more than a little while back. It is very heartening to see outstanding students such as Debbie as they progress through their careers. She is a most outstanding person.
