It’s the End of the World for sure this time.

image0-1.jpgWow, is it ever nasty out there. 

The snow is still coming down, and unlike the storm of three days ago, this snow is wet, dense, and heart-attack grade in terms of shovelability. 

My next door neighbor was just out in his full heavy-weather gear, looking like the Gorton’s fisherman as he wisked his driveway spotless with his massive snowblower. I thought my best course of action was to sit tight, keep the shades drawn and hope that he would take pity on me.  However, it soon became clear that I was on my own, so I just went out and stepped up to the plate myself.

Now I am back inside, relaxing, and waiting for the crushing chest pain to fade a bit.

In the same aisle as “NotPoison”-brand mushrooms.

Vineripe

After slicing into these alien orbs while making a sandwich today, I find myself embarrassed by my own naivety. 

Here I was thinking that “Vineripe Tomatoes” would have at least some loose association with ripe, or vine. Or even with tomato, for that matter. 

From what I can tell, the brand name probably just means this comes from a distributor named Sheldon Vineripe.
