Would you take a $100 if someone picked it up off ground and asked if it was yours?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Would you take money?If you see someone walking towards you on the street holding out a $100 bill and asking if you want it, most people will avoid the person, say something like “I don’t come that cheap!” or “No, I do not have change…” We all know those people are wacky.

But if in any kind of minimum relationship and someone bends over and picks up a $100 bill and asks if it is yours…. what do YOU do? Do you take it? Then you can be bribed.

The article below is why to buy IMPORTED tomatoes and not buy from Safeway. And it is about BRIBES and TAINTED tomatoes. (more…)

Watsonville lunch: Monterey Bay Caterers.com

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Great place for lunch in Watsonville, CA. There is a small inside counter for about 8 people and a deck outside. Most people get sandwiches or the special to go.

The hot special changes daily. Good food. Decent prices. Fresh ingredients. Brownies to die for. They give you as much or little food as you want. Friendly service. And ONE copy of the Sentinel newspaper to share.

It will be closed on President’s Day. Next Wednesday the special is Chicken Fried Steak.

You can sign up and get the weekly menu sent to you by email.

Monterey Bay Caterers Deli staff

There are 2 Monterey Bay Caterers!!! One is caterers and the other catering.

The one I like is located in Watsonville. MBC CaterERS has a small counter that holds about 8 persons. Most people get their food to go.

The cook and owner usually comes out for a break around 1:30. He chats with staff and customers about whatever. G

Good, fresh food. They will give you exactly what you want. No over eating unless you choose. The place has to die for meatloaf and gravy. Try the brownies for a $1.00.

Below is the CORRECT link for MBC Caterers. You can find out what he lunch specials are ahead of time.

Blue & warm day tomorrow at Aptos beach? www.freedomOK.net/wordpress

Sunday, May 24th, 2009
Memorial Day weather?

Memorial Day weather?

Blue day tomorrow, Memorial Day at Aptos beach? Hope so. Nice day for a backyard barbacue? Hope so. Remember what Memorial Day is all about.

Remember to keep faith with those who died in Flanders Field, World War I.

“In Flanders field, the poppies blow…

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies blow
In Flanders Field.

A lot of young people have died to keep America safe and the world safe from terrorists. How best to keep faith with them?

Aptos Cafe Rio music: Beach Cowboys play 70’s rock and roll 8 pm Fri. 5-22 for more www.freedomOK.net/wordpress

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

On Friday the Beach Cowboys play at 8 pm at the Cafe Rio in Aptos. On Friday something called the Seventh Wave plays. Will the music be low enough so I can talk to someone next to me?! That is my standard. I want to talk to whoever I went out with and not be overpowered by electronic gizmos. Of the two choices, I’m going to try the Beach Cowboys. And the fresh fish special.
