Subj : Repairs [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Mon Jun 10 2024 11:23:49 Hi Dave, DD> I do even the junque mail. The stuff I get to my alias (Salms Grilnek) DD> goes into the waste bin or recycling pile unopened. Bv)= RH> Sometimes we open it to verify that it is indeed, junk stuff since some RH> non junk stuff is sent bulk rate. DD> I've not seen anything labelled "bulk rate" in years. I think (bot not DD> sure) it is no more as a category. I believe it's now called DD> "Presorted Standard". It's still bulk mail and junk but the DD> marketroids have tried to put a pretty face on it. I know, just old habit to call it bulk. It does add bulk to the shredder or recycle bag. (G) DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8 DD> Well, fresh from being shorn of their sins their diving would, DD> naturally, be somewhat subdued. Bv)= RH> Yes, but there's a lot of it. Trying to make a left turn coming out of RH> our street onto South Main can be a problem certain times of the day. RH> We have a STOP sign, S.Main has nothing. Town is going to have to put RH> in a light eventually, probably when they re-do the intersection some RH> years down the road. Steve recently saw a long term plan for the roads in this area. We live off of West Holding but East Holding is a block or so closer to town. He said that the plan joined the 2 but wasn't specific enough for him to figure out how. We're just far enough off of the main road that we may not have to move. DD> I knew a guywho was the traffic engineer for my town. His take was DD> that other than intersections of two arterial streets a 4 way stop DD> would bt DD> more efficient at moving traffic and giving all a "chance', Seconf DD> place (and on more busy intersections was called "Treadle Operated" DD> traffic DD> signals. They no longer use treadles but an induction coil installed DD> in/ under the pavement. The latter would probably work well in this area. Some years ago when a new housing development was put off of one of the bypass roads, they reconfigured the intersection of the bypass and another road so a road could be put in from the development. They made a rather convoluted left turn from the bypass to the older road; a traffic circle would have worked much better. Told my sister who's a civil engineer (road design/construction in Phoenix area); without seeing it, said there wasn't enough room for a circle. That's not true as we've seen (this area and other parts of the country) where there are circles that would fit well within the space available. DD> Title: Snap, Crackle & Pop Crunchies DD> Categories: Five, RH> Chocolate, Grains, Snacks DD> Yield: 12 Servings DD> 2 1/2 c Rice Krispies cereal DD> 8 oz Chocolate DD> 2 tb Light corn syrup DD> Cupcake liners RH> Looks good and easy, something to maybe make up for road snacks RH> (munchies when we're travelling). DD> Or if you get Trick-or-Treat visitors on All Hallow's Eve. RH> Some years we have quite a few, other years, nobody. Had about 30 last RH> year but none in 2022. One year when we were living in the rental, we RH> had about 60, mostly from the nearby Section 8 housing. DD> I keep a small supply of orange habanero chilies on hand. "Here y'go, DD> miniature pumpkin." (evil grin). I also have a supply of "fun size" DD> Mars candy for the littles. Haven't seen many T or T kids out for many DD> years - even before the pandemic. We usually buy a couple of bags of candy, something like 3 Musketeers and Milky Way in the mini bar size. Any left over is enjoyed by us with one bar being just big enough to satisfy a chocolate craving. DD> Title: Crispy Chicken Skin Tacos w/Habanero Salsa DD> Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Fruits, Citrus, Salsa DD> Yield: 4 Servings DD> 1/4 c Chopped cilantro DD> More chopped cilantro and DD> - green onion for garnish DD> 4 (or more) tortillas (use DD> - corn tortillas if cooking DD> - gluten-free) These make it a no go for us, especially the corn tortillas. Flour tortillas and no cilantro would make it work-able. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
