I thought today was Tuesday. Not sure how I confused the day considering I saw two trash totes in front of the house this morning.
Normally Tuesday is take out the toters day and Wednesday is pick up the trash day. My confusion was probably due to Christmas and New Years Day as they both fell on Wednesday. The trash collectors get both days off, so we were picked up on Thursday. Now it's as clear as mud.
To compensate for their off days the guys had to work two Saturday's.
It's a damn shame the majority of households here generate so much trash they can't go a week without pick-ups.
The Cragel is a hit in Brooklyn, N.Y. A cross between a bagel and a croissant it's starting to gather a following, even at $2.95.
I grew up just a few blocks away from the Detroit Bagel Factory. I loved salt-stick bagels. About the size of a small baseball bat loaded with kosher salt, they cost a nickel. I've always considered bagels Jewish and I've always thought of croissants as biscuits with an attitude.
The Cragel: It's half French and Half Jewish. It's a satisfying treat that will make you feel guilty for eating it. How rude.
Chef Grant Achatz starts Twitter debate: Should babies be banned from high-end restaurants?
I think it all depends on how they are prepared.
Are you kidding me?
A little league coach in Roseville, Ca. filed a civil law suit seeking $500,000 for pain and suffering, and more than $100,000 for lost wages and medical bills.
One of his players hit a game winning home run and was so happy and excited he tossed his batting helmet on the way to home plate. In the law suit his coach claims the boy "carelessly threw a helmet, striking Plaintiff's Achilles tendon and tearing it."
A legal expert in Sacramento told a reporter that California does not allow children to be sued for their actions. However, he said on a baseball field where there is inherent risk of flying baseballs, bats and even helmets in the course of every game, proving the boy intended to injure, or knew his actions could cause injury, could be difficult.
"If he deliberately hurt somebody, then it's a stronger case and a stronger case that his parents could be held liable, but kids playing a kids' game in a contact sport--and baseball is a contact sport--that's going to be a tougher case."
I'll sum up this up in one word: Bull-shit (guess that's two).
The boy's father says he's already spent $4,000 and the case hasn't gone to court yet.
And while I'm on the subject of the law I'm sure you've seen the television ads for class action suits. Drugs, hip replacements, vaginal mesh and Bayer Cipro are but a few.

Just so you know they're not all killers.
A class action settlement has been reached, resolving allegations that FitFlop Footwear was deceptively advertised as providing health benefits that they did not allegedly deliver. If you purchased eligible FitFlop Footwear in the United States between Jan. 1, 2007 and Jan. 8, 2014, you may be entitled to receive between $25 and $100 from the FitFlop class action settlement.

Buying a product called FitFlop Footwear should have been enough to let you know there were no health benefits...they're shoes for god sake. The Flop case generated approximately 473,022 pages of documents. A consumer who fills out all the proper forms will get between $25 and $100. This settled for $5.3 million. I think someone is getting rich and it's not the people wearing the shoes.
This is one of many and I just had to include it. It was dismissed, now what do you know about that.
A proposed class action lawsuit accusing Wrigley Sales Co. of misbranding its gum, mint and hard candy products — including Eclipse gum, Orbit gum and Life Savers candies — as “sugar free” has been dismissed after the federal judge overseeing the case found that the claims are preempted by federal law.
California resident Phyllis Gustavson alleges in the Wrigley class action lawsuit that she began buying the sugar-free products because she was trying to commit to a healthy diet, but that the package labels did not meet federal requirements for foods labeled as “sugar free” because they contained too many calories to state they are “low calorie” or “reduced calorie,” and do not “bear an express warning” adjacent to any “sugar free” claim stating that the product is “not a reduced calories food” or “not for weight control.” Gustavson additionally asserted that Wrigley mislabeled what types of sweeteners the products contained.

Who am I to say what some people spend their time doing isn't fulfilling and important, but it's my blog and I'll say what I want, what a waste of time.
Last Sunday was "No Pants Day" so you may have missed it. Officially it's "The No-Pants Subway Ride" and began in New York in 2002. It's now "celebrated" in 60 cities and 29 countries around the globe.
Today is "National Hat Day," its not too late to participate. So, put a hat (or an eye patch) on your head and go out and greet the world.
