Hmmm. ...No one else commented on your dam opinion? Hmmm. I'm a believer in man's meddling doing as much harm as good in most instances. Seems like the "fix" for one problem just leads to a new problem to fix on down the line when man interferes with nature's plan. However, beavers make dams but certainly on a much smaller scale.

Jim needs some help diagnosing a brake light problem;-) We thought about you the other day when we were in Eugene, near AM Solar. Hope you can get on with your summer now and be trouble-free.<br />We had a bike rack break on the PA Turnpike. It was supposedly tested in the Australian Outback. Think they should just do their testing on PA roads. Although I still have family there, we just can't bring ourselves to go back very often. <br />Happy travels!<br />GayleJim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-68707223403715410212014-05-30T09:23:06.579-04:002014-05-30T09:23:06.579-04:00Forgot to ask....

I had to Google Scrapple and I think I would have passed on it as well, but then again I like Spam, so I probably would have liked it too. The picture I found looks like how I remember liver pudding. My mom loves that stuff. <br /><br />I didn't know Whole Foods had bulk spices, but I'll certainly check it out. I know how much you love Whole Foods, but I prefer our little local Nutrition S'mart. Whole foods is so big that I get overwhelmed and don't find all the good stuff they have. Just don't snack on the freebies while you're there!!<br /><br />I sure hope your solar saga is ending and you'll be on the road again. I bet they wish they had never started the new business with blogger Sherry! They haven't gotten any good publicity, have they? If I ever considered solar power, I am over it now!

I was talking to someone in New York, recently, and they said all the roads in the northeast are worse than they've ever been because of the snow, ice, sand, and salt this year. Pot holes everywhere. Hopefully, there's enough money to fix them. When I drove through Pennsylvania last year they weren't that bad. I've noticed, while not as bad, that even our road suffered from the weather last winter.<br /><br />I'm feeling a bit under the weather - something disagreed with me or a bug, but I did want to see how you and David made out.
