Out of My Mind on a Dreary Friday Morning
Loading ...The barbeque gods did not pay attention to my request for a sunny day today. Hopefully the rain will hold off as we celebrate our first TNG barbeque of the season today, Cheeseburgers in Paradise. On the menu we have Black Angus burgers, salmon burgers, baked beans, BUB coleslaw, and our signature waffle cone station. If you are nearby between 12-1:00PM, stop on by!
As the stock market sinks below 10,000 again and the worries in Europe continue along with all the other lousy news, the possibility of a “double-dip” (not ice cream) has raised its ugly face. The thoughts of that happening are nauseating at best and in Michigan, devastating. The question is, what will turn everything around?
Can the news in Detroit be any worse? Even Mayor Bing stated the obvious yesterday, “We have no idea how to stop the violence.” What hope is there when your leader doesn’t have an answer?
CND’s new Shellac has proved to be a hit and good news for the nail industry. Seems everything is soak-off gels and acrylics are mostly dead. BTW: We have more Shellac on the way.
I don’t know about you, but does road construction this season seem more unbearable that usual? Telegraph is a disaster for 9 straight miles and you never see any crews working on all 9 miles at the same time. Perhaps it’s because the government is in charge.
Speaking of which, can you believe the Obama administration gave out a permit to BP for it’s leaking well (33rd day) without any verifications or tests? Heck, you have no idea what we need to go through with the city to get a sign 12” bigger than code.
It’s not really Memorial Day weekend next week, is it?
How did Smoothies get to be so hot?
Does anyone eat at Ponderosa?
Have you heard anything from anyone about the smoke-free ban since it was enacted on May 1? Not even a whisper.
Happy Friday!

Interesting bit of information – Learned from the head of MDOT a few years back the reason roads are marked off with no work started is the marking off “officially” is considered start of work. If they don’t mark off the roads they loose the funding to do the work. Thus, making all of us drivers crazy. You would think there would be a better way to keep funding.
As for the smoke-free ban, wait staff are complaining about the drop in customers. At some establishments up to 1/2 of the patrons are missing. But like in every state where it has been implemented, it takes about 2-3 months for the business impact to get back to normal.
Hope you have a great BBQ.

Hearing your description of the barbeque made my mouth water and made me hungry. As for your existing mayor, you need a new leader, one that can make decisions, how about …………….Mayor Gaynor!
