BTW, there's a sale on cucumbers at Shop Rite.
Bananas are half-price too.
Bananas turn brown and fall off! [haironend] And have you ever seen what happens to a cucumber after it freeezes and thaws again?! It becomes a mushy, gushy, sloppy, floppy mess. Very inappropriate!! :o Not to mention, well, just plain YUCK!!
Only a carrot????
Don't know about the carrots Shop Rite might stock, but the supermarkets around here often sell carrots that are up to four inches round. :D
Anxiously awaiting MB's snowman.
Well, don't hold your breath because you'll never see one posted on this forum. I'm afraid you and everone else will simply have to make do with a shot of my northeast view:

Between all the snow and the sky reflected on the water, It requires a bit of description, though, to tell what it is that you're actually seeing. And, yes, that house's southwest side IS practically buried in snow. (Lucky them!) And even though we live in New England, my other neighbor just recently put a terra cotta roof on his house. (I hope it made him feel nice and toasty to think he actually lived in California or New Mexico during the storm. I guess it might have worked so long as he didn't look or go outside. Even now the sight of it won't do him much good because at least three quarters of it is still buried under the snow cover. [lghy])
Oh, and, Rainey:
I live in a city that's surrounded by water on three sides...and we don't have any rat problems. Can't really say that I've ever wondered why that is, though...
They probably can't afford the taxes on that water-front property...[smrtasb]
If they chose to, the rats could build their little rat dens (or whatever the hell they live in) under the trees and have pretty much all the actual shore property to themselves without having to worry too much about taxes because there's a four lane highway that runs north and south between the narrow tree covered shore and the fenced off dead ends of all our streets in the northeast side of the neighborhood. But I suppose they're getting a better deal elsewhere because not a one has ever surfaced as long as I've been here....
