Comment on Protecting American Citizens from Snow Globe Threats by Shannon Wagner

I think it’s important to keep in mind that these sorts of “possibly helpful” security policies are *not okay*. Just my two cents, but I’m stickin’ to them until I see a reason to believe differently. :-)

Oh, and my watermelon was just confiscated. This is the pits. ;-)

Comment on How to Open a Coconut by shyam

I followed through to this blog via a link on Bea’s blog, and couldn’t help responding to this coconut entry. Using a happer is a pretty bad idea (and I know because I grew up cracking coconuts :-) Best thing is to use the blunt edge of a cleaver (a type of knife) and hit the coconut along and around the belly. Several steady and strong blow like this will start to crack it and then you can use the same knife to open that up. With a bit of practice, you can have the coconut cracked in two perfect halves. Makes it easy to use a coconut grater like the one at the link below as well …

Pretty yummy!

We had beets with hummus and yogurt on a bed of escarole (sauteed with garlic) last night–beets from the CSA box. Also quite yummy.

I had my small Statue of Libery snowglobe confiscated at JFK yesterday! How ridiculous that they think we’re stupid enough to believe that it is for safety measures! The security guard gently put it in the trash, after telling me I didn’t have enough time to go and check the bag. If I had checked it, it would have been broken by the baggage handlers! I am so angry over this. Mine was only $15 (plus tax, of course) but my girlfriend had one too, and hers was around $40. The handler even told her she would mail it to her only to be shot down by security! Then I noticed that after we got through there there was stuff in glass bottles for sale like alcohol and perfume! WTF? It has NOTHING to do with security and everything to do with trying to force you to buy crap from the airport! If it was a “security” issue, then pretty soon they’ll be telling us that people’s glasses could be used as a weapon, and making people take eyesight checks to verify that they need glasses. The same thing goes with water- there is nothing in a sealed bottle of water that could be dangerous- but the Pro Active I saw for sale has chemicals in it that could burn your eyes, same as perfume!
This country has got to pull it’s head out of it’s ass and start taking back the rights we have as citizens of a supposedly free nation!

BTW, I am sending a bill to Delta, the FAA, and the White House. Maybe it’s time someone wakes up and realizes that they have gone too far! People need to start demanding that we quit being treated like terrorists and start being treated like citizens of a country that relys on it’s tax payers to bail their butts out every time we turn around!
