Changing demographics put Jewish delis in a 'pickle'
Ii will note that the LA TIMES used the pickle pun. I didn’t like the pun but went with it, couldn’t think of anything else. I thought “Changing Demographics put Jewish deli buns on the run.” I also thought “You Say Tomato, I say Schmaltz-spread.”
The 'church' of Scientology the subject of tonight's Coast to Coast AM
John B. Wells is set to interview Jenna Miscavige Hill tonight on Coast to Coast..
Hill was the niece of a leader in the Church of Scientology.
She left in 2005.
Her website goes more in depth about her story and other ‘ex-kids’ of the Church of Scientology..
The show should be one worth listening to.
Even more so because George Noory is not hosting..
LINK TO THE SHOW HERE
START TIME 1AM EDT, 10PM PACIFIC
Giddy up
We are told by experts that Americans are not eating horse meat—most likely. But who’d a thunk that folks in the great UK were devouring Mr Ed?!
Nothing to see here. Despite 6 nuclear plants leaking toxic waste.
No danger.
Of course it may reach groundwater.

The Vatican is denying rumors of gay clergy, money scandals and sex.
….Because we have come to believe everything that the Vatican tells us regarding scandal clergy, money, and sex.

A new kind of lake monster has been found, in the depths of Lake Tahoe: gigantic goldfish. Researchers trawling the lake for invasive fish species scooped up a goldfish that was nearly 1.5 feet long and weighed 4.2 pounds.
I don’t think this one would be flushable. But I love to see someone at a county fair trying to swallow it
A pretty rough morning in the coal region
It happened on West Coal Street in Shenandoah, PA. The fire broke out at 330am … no one was killed, but there were injuries. Multiple buildings were destroyed.
Fires happen every day every where. But when you hear of an entire block being torn down by flames, it’s a reminder to me of why I don’t want to live in a row home setting.

Face your fears.. drown them away.. take comfort in tea.
I enjoy herbal tea. I drink green tea as a matter of fact.. sometimes nighttime tea.. sometimes tummy tea. All that.
But watching horror movie icons, such as Pennywise the clown, drown in a hot cup of Herbaria is alarming.
Whatever happened to rustic pastures filled with green grass and purple mountains of majesty? Or the birds flying calmly over a sea of golden water as the sun sets. I can think of plenty more relaxing images than watching Pennywise die of drowning.. in your tea.
I get the concept. The ‘drown your fears ‘thing means to let go and just ….relax.
But relaxation and brutal images don’t go together well.
Horror movie fans may be fine with the concept. As for me it is not offensive at all. But for Herbaria’s marketing technique, I just don’t know how well this will work. A video of Pennywise dying on camera……and the message telling you to just relax. It just does not seem to work.
Advertising folks out there, or even tea drinkers, I’d love to hear your thoughts?
As my wife watched yet another movie on SYFY--this one called THE STORM
My wife: What kind of movies?
Me: The movies that don't look real.
My wife: I just want to see what James Vanderbeek looks like now.
Me: You like the actors that don't look real, too.

Date night
Weather permitting, my wife and I are going to have our first date night in about a year (seriously).. And if it’s dinner and a movie I have the eatery in mind but need help on the movie. So fellow internetters, was IDENTIFY THIEF funny?
Friday at 32
I cannot relieve myself of the tired feeling I have on a Friday evening.. The weeks can be so long.. I recall being in my 20s and the week truly just began on Friday night. Now I’m wishing I could sleep for 72 hours. I cannot even fathom how I’ll feel at 4/, 52, and beyond..
Staring at the ground
No one looks up anymore.. People just stare at their feet when they walk, or gaze lovingly at their phones.. There could be a military invasion in the sky and hardly anyone would notice. The fact there are still UFO sightings surprises me..

Don't drink the water
There is an absolute horrific story.. tourists were drinking water filled with bacteria from a decomposing body..
It’s not the plot of a movie. It’s real life.
Elisa Ham’s corpse was identified in the water tank on the top of Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. According to reports, Ham was missing since January.. Detectives are now investigating the matter as a suspicious death.
According to CNN, a maintenance worker was on the rooftop trying to ascertain why water pressure was low.. That is when he came across the decomposing body..
Read on if you want to be horrified..
Not only did patrons complain of low water pressure at Cecil, but according to those interviewed by CNN, the water also ‘had a funny taste.’ One person said she and her husband used it for eight straight days.. According to another account from a patron of Cecil Hotel, water from the shower would turn black at first use and then evolve to ‘normal’ .. According to the CNN piece, the hotel has not closed at this point, it’s open for business but they are advising patrons not to drink the water..
Whether there are health risks posed to the persons who partook in drinking and showering in water filled with bacteria and germs from decomposing water..? Well. We didn’t get that answer yet from officials, either law enforcement or heatlth.. But.. common sense would advise…….. THERE IS.

Social media profiles are replacing resumes
I’m pretty sure I predicted this would eventually happen, but I’ve written too much to readily find it..
