      Just look out for those sneaky ‘farmer’ truck venders. We had a fewcthat plied the bent-nose neighborhoods with farm-fresh produce. Got to know a few who worked by places where I did details, my being there helped lowrr their chances of getting robbed. Turns out many of them bought their stuff at the same wholesalers the grocers did, they just put it in homey baskets, put a little straw around their displays and viola, the sucker shoppers ate it up. Now we have Whole Foods.

        Our farmer’s market is pretty strictly regulated. Everything has to be grown locally (in Wisconsin) and no re-selling is allowed. If you get caught you get tossed out and can’t come back. I know one of the main enforcers and he takes it very seriously. He is a big lib and takes it personally that someone would try and corrupt “his” market.

        We have a lot of Hmong farmers who start their crops early and people have gone out to their farms so that they can prove that they really already have produce. They bring without a doubt the most beautiful flowers that I have ever seen.

        We once had a verbal brawl because some poor guy who was selling farm fresh meat and some loon was insisting that he prove that none of the animals ever ate any GMO products. She was shrieking <<< probably too kind of a word 🙉. Thankfully she was asked to leave and said we could all go to hell because she was never coming back to our "Poison Market" again.

        I think it is a good market and I've gotten to know some of the vendors which is really nice.
        Lot's bakery (one amish woman who is probably the only terrible Amish baker in the world 😕 also sells her baked goods.

        It's fun because i see a lot of people that maybe I haven't seen over the winter and we can sit in the grass by the river with fresh cheese, fruit tea, icees and just enjoy the the morning.

            Sounds interesting Lovely, If I was in the wholesale produce business, the “Strip District” in Pittsburgh in the place to go. There are retail shops, everything from seafood, meats, fresh vegetables, and breads.

          My daughter’s on the board of the farmer’s market in Oak Park, IL. They do allow farmers from Michigan, I know, but they are strict about what they allow at their market too.

          The GMO thing is out of control. Ridiculous, if you ask me.

          Ahhh, Hmong, had the privilege to work with Cham Hmong many years ago, begore the US turned tail, ran from VN and allowed Vietnamese and Russians to spend years slaughtering the Hmong. Bet You’re seeing some veggies they grow that aren’t regularly seen in the bg-box stores.
          Our urban ones are well-controlled too, usually the same sellers each time. It’s the truck vendors selling on the streets that are questionable. Even then they serve the crowd that isn’t all that keen on mixing with the Great Unwashed shoppers, so they do serve a purpose or two.

      Thanks Wooly, love this song. Have played several times, forwarded it, bought it and blasted it for my daughter this morning on the way to school.
      Prince had a great style, great passion. Sorry to see him go so early. Too soon, but then again, sometimes it takes these “suddens” to make you cherish what is here and now.

        Well the progressive and proactive state of New York is on top,of this violence thing, providing for the collective safety. The state legislsture is, st this very minute, oreparing a bill thst would declare the machete a dangerous weapon and outlaw its sale, ownership,or possession. Tske THAT potential Islamic machete wielders who cannot get theirvhands on explosives or guns due to the diligence of NY legislstors!
        Then again, what will they do if rhere’s ever a flood of Rwandan refugees who declare it part of their ciltural heritage to carry a machete?

          Hey, I am not alone! I’ve been shown how to do it several times by frustrated men. I told my husband we just need two weed eaters, both full of that gawdawful, possessed orange string every day, and that’ll hold me until I stop before I’m too tired to lift my glass of undiluted Jack.

          Now I’m gonna go see if I can figure it out by watching YouTube.

      I’m painting the living room from hell. I’m wore flat out. I’ll show a picture tomorrow of the one damwall I’ve got done if I don’t kill DH and have to go in for questioning. I paint very carefully, precisely, and don’t sling paint either from brushes or rollers. HE does not give a rat’s that it MIGHT get on the carpet or furniture.
      I hate taping crap off. Especially plantation shutters.

        Hey, I’ve done that many times. Only I’m the one doing the slinging. My ex was a great painter and had done it professionally for a while. He tapes e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. He could empty out the local Home Depot of tape to do a room. I hated taping, but I thought it was fun to pull it off. 🙂
