"Rat Droppings Found At Airport Food Establishments"

When a busy traveler grabs a sandwich or has a sit-down meal at the airport, he or she should think twice.

US Today reviewed the food safety reports at airport restaurants and found hundreds of food safety violations.

Among them -- sandwiches were stored in refrigerators warmer than they should be, raw meat was contaminating ready-to-eat foods and rat droppings were found in establishments.

I personally worked at the Atlanta Airport a few years ago and know for a fact it is infested with rats. Big critters, too. The size of cats.

Caveat emptor, eh?

"Dominos Changes Pizza"

I ate many Dominos pizzas especially when the kids were younger. 30 minutes or less and all that.

And then came Papa Johns, Cici's, etc. With the economy in the tank pizza delivery sales are down 6%.

Dominos is fighting back and not only because of sluggish sales. Seems its pizza is last in taste tests. So in celebration of its 50 years in business, the company is introducing a new better-tasting pizza.

And for a one topping pizza at $5.99 who can resist?

"Lucy, What Happened?"

My blog has lay dormant for a few weeks now. A lot of stuff has happened which has turned my world upside down. Life can sometimes be a bitch.

I did talk to hoots the other day and found him to be enjoying his retirement even tho' he's still working.

So it's time to resurrect Golden Pond. After a brief hiatus.

Full speed ahead; damn the torpedos.
