Fall BBQs
While the heat of summer is still blasting us, autumn is approaching and Labor Day is the "official" kicking off point - though seasonally its September 21st or 22nd that autumn really begins.
Around here that means it's Barbeque season with all the churches and local fire stations holding their annual or semi-annual (some participate in the shorter spring BBQ season as well) BBQ dinners. Most of the local BBQ is surprisingly good for outsiders coming in - we locals knew that already - and some plan their vacations around the local BBQ season, some coming from Canada every year. There have been overseas visitors who have stumbled on our BBQ and have made a point to come back the next time they are over here during the season and some have had it delivered via overnight air express to their home in such places as London, Edinburgh, Warsaw, (that I know of), and several other smaller towns around Europe.
That's some good eating ...

More Herbs, Less Salt
August 29th - today - is More Herbs, Less Salt Day.
One of the many holidays and celebrations we humans have invented for almost everyday of the year. Of those many this one is a better one for your health. More flavorful foods spiced with herbs and less sodium chloride ... yippie.
Having laid down salt (sodium chloride), for lent back when tricky-dick was resigning from the Whitehouse and not picking it back up since I support this 'celebration' whole heartedly and can do so with lower blood pressure than many of my contemporaries (without medications).

Go HERBS!
Chickenhawks
Chickenhawk - n - 1. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most particularly when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that person's youth. 2. A male who prefers sexual encounters with young boys.With the Gung ho let's go to war and stay there attitude of the GOP -most of whom definitely fall under definition number 1 - and the growing list of GOPers that are 'coming out' as falling under definition number 2, one has to wonder!
It is very appropriate that the National Park Service provide the proper signage in the sample above.
