After mulling it over last summer, and again this summer, and going positively green with envy over our friends’ baskets of produce, we’ve taken the plunge and ordered a weekly delivery from Layman Farms. Minus the cucumbers, of course (Spouse has a real problem with cucumbers, which is just beyond unfortunate).
Also, that deposit I never got back from my apartment-dwelling days in Tallaght, well we may be on to something now, since they’ve figured out where and how to use my ABA routing number. We may be seeing money by the end of this week or the beginning of next.
And in spite of my elation over the prospect of recouping my deposit and eating my weight in locally-grown fruits and vegetables, I’m experiencing great angst. It may have something to do with the fact that the guys who are remodeling the neighbor’s upstairs bathroom are blasting Rush Limbaugh while I’m trying to listen to Diane Rehm. All I want is to get some work done, learn a little more about consequences of privatizing public services, but noooo! I have to hear some random bitching about Mormons instead. Harumph.
Fresh fruit and veg!

I for one, would be glad to listen to Rush bitch about the Mormons. Its about time if you ask me. You know anybody can go off against gay people (or Democrats). They’re a bunch of wussy sissies. It’s not like they fight back in anyway beyond barbing criticism of what you are wearing.
But nobody hardly ever says anything about the Mormons, who fundamentally commit scriptural abominations and are probably where gays got the original inspiration for “redefining marriage”. Their apostasy is far more abominable than any dirty man sex. Yet we still allow THEM to get married and raise and indoctrinate kids into their sorry, hellbound, wicked lifestyle.
Anyone who would want more than one wife has got to be a little off in the head anyway. Michael Savage ought to write a book about Mormonism being a Mental Disorder.
But as for fresh vegatables, if only our local subscription farmer delivered like yours does! That would be sweet. With ours you have to almost get an appointment and go pick it up every week, and only on a Tuesday or Thursday. They do have fresh eggs though.
Such a shame your produce people suck the way they do. Also that you don’t have room for a garden there. I wonder if there are any empty lots around that could be bought and used as community gardens? I wonder if anyone would participate…
