      I grew up on the Farmer’s Market. My dad had a wholesale produce business there, year round. One fine day in the summer, the truck farmers would start rolling in and back up to the curbs, staying there on the market until all their produce was gone. This picture was from 1957, the year before I was born. And it didn’t change at all, looked just like that in my memories.

      Sometimes Daddy would buy a crop of peaches and rent one of the stalls, it would be my job to man it and sell the peaches for however long they lasted. I was probably 10ish when this started. Maybe a year older. Reckon that might be one reason I got good at math.

      It was locally known as the Curb market because of those long concrete curbs. The wholesalers had buildings on the end of the market and all these stalls would mostly be empty but for a few months a year. It was a crazy few months though.

      I know that farmers markets are popular again. I find most of them full of upscale expensive stuff, with little actual produce. Back then, almost all the wives came down, husband and kids in tow, and man, they ran the show. The husband would tote bushels of corn, 30# tomato boxes, and whatever bags of squash, okra, green beans, field peas, onions, peaches, strawberries, melons, and any number of other goods, the wife could pack into their trunk, pickup, or station wagons. When they left, you knew that woman was going to be busy for days. And the family would eat well throughout the winter. It was just how people lived, back then.

      Okra was the hot ticket item. Didn’t last long, down here.

      The Purple Heart: America’s Oldest Medal

      Aug. 6, 2025 | By Claudette Roulo 

      Did you know that the Purple Heart is America’s oldest military award? In 1782, although the Revolutionary War was basically over and peace talks were happening in Paris, Gen. George Washington needed a way to quell the talk of rebellion. Congress was running out of money after years of war against England. Troops were hungry and unpaid and there was talk of mutiny.

    Hope you all have a nice day.

    From Chicks on the right:

    Mueller gets subpoenaed—then shipped off to a memory care facility. No, this isn’t satire. Meanwhile, Candace Owens and Alex Jones turn on Trump, who’s too busy donating his salary and teasing a bromance update with Elon Musk to care.

    Also in this episode: Oklahoma rolls out an America First test for new teachers, Apple brings manufacturing back to the U.S., and Democrats lose their minds over “gerrymandering” again. The AP sympathizes with terrorists, Rolling Stone blames Republicans for the Sydney Sweeney meltdown, and a WNBA game is interrupted by flying green dildos.
