Oatmeal has a long tradition in the state of Vermont which originated with the Scottish settlement in the state. Although there were many variations, most of the oatmeal recipes began with steel cut oats. The oats were soaked overnight in cold water, salt and maple syrup. Early the next morning, the cook added ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon and if desired, ground ginger. The pot was then placed over heat and cooked for approximately 90 minutes and then they were served with cream, milk or butter.

Vermont leads the United States in per capita consumption of cooked oatmeal cereal.

The Quaker Man is one of the oldest advertising mascots in America. He was registered by the Quaker Oats company as the first trademark for a breakfast cereal in 1877.

My mantra. I don't get to do it often enough. Matt, I have protection. I'm just thinking something a little smaller. Concealed weapons guys, tell me where you can't take a concealed weapon. I know I've read it but I keep forgetting. Is their a list? It doesn't really vary much from state to state, does it? I know there are many states I can carry that have reciprocal agreement. Some states are so liberal that Florida doesn't recognize their carry laws.


Matt, I won't know more till I get the juice from another source, like a next door neighbor or media outlet.


Brad, National Cat Day DOES NOT MEAN A PURGE.

In case you missed it.

Record breaking parachute jump.

In Florida

WHERE carry restrictions exist. Thought it might be helpful to post this here, even though we have (mostly) all seen it before.

Possession Restrictions
The following is a list of places where you are restricted from carrying a weapon or firearm even if you have a license. Please note that this is a simplified list. The places marked by an asterisk (*) may have exceptions or additional restrictions. See Section 790.06 (12), Florida Statutes for a complete listing.

any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05
any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station
any detention facility, prison, or jail; any courthouse
any courtroom*
any polling place
any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district
any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof
any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms
any school administration building
any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption*
any elementary or secondary school facility
any area technical center
any college or university facility*
inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport*
any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law


The first one states any place of public nuisance therefore at no time should a weapon be on your person while in this forum.

Funny, I think Matt looked a lot like Jon Bon Jovi back in the day ............



I have to quit fu..oolin around and get some work done.

A crisp 29 degrees this morning...and so it begins. How about them Royals.....only one more to go tonight and lets hope nobody named Madison will be pitching for the other team but if I was a betting man I would bet there will be at some point.

Today I will do some work and then a nap at noon and then more work....work is the curse of the lazy class....

Have a wonderful day Guru's.....

SUNNY AND CHILLY IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, 37 IN TAHLEQUAH, 44 ON MY FRONT DECK, 70 PREDICTED HIGH. NO FLIES ON THAT! NEED TO CHANGE OUT THE STRAW IN THE DOGHOUSE, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD DAY FOR THAT.

ROYALS DID MAKE A NICE COMEBACK, DIDN'T THEY.

great weather here enjoying it

Game 7 = barn burner. Should have us sitting on the edge of our chairs. I'm a Royals fan for the series. I have no connection with SF so my mojo goes regal.

Stupid question here but... what is "place of nuisance" other than my office....
chilly here this morning, on the south end of town very heavy fog but clear on my north end. Not sure what happened over there. Highs this week will only hit a max of about 70. Quite a change from our summery upper 80s this past week.
What I wouldn't give to be at the beach somewhere.
Had a cop get ran over last night while directing traffic. The day before the city scored a HUGE pot bust, maybe someone though that was the one that took his weed or something.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.




"It's places like drug houses, houses of prostitution, etc... there is some ambiguous language about morals in (FL)823.01 but it's the kinda places your momma would tell you to avoid.

ETA: if the activity there is illegal, stay away whether carrying or not."

Speaking of places of nuisance ..........

Howdy! We're off shortly to go eat more, just what we need. Great whoopin' the Royals put on last night, hoping for more of the same tonight. Meanwhile, Halloween is right around the corner:

Have a good day, Gurus!

Filled an loaded 30 15 gallon buckets of soil, plants for tomorrows job and dug a 50 to 60' trench from the electric box to the pump pad. When I was finishing the trench I had a childhood flashback of the old saying "You better get a good education if you don't want to end up digging ditches.". What's that tell you? The crew is booked solid for the next three weeks so if I don't do it, it won't get done. Now I'm off to fill up my S-10 with buckets of dirt and mulch for around the house. Cruise starts in just over 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to it but till then I don't think I'll be seeing any nap time.

For a shallow 60' run call me the Ditch Witch or the SOB. I got a workout today. After digging the ditch I planted two trees. After the first 4" it was solid limestone. Tons of fun in the sun. Planted a Chocolate Sapote and a tangerine tree. My neighbor stopped by and told me it looked like we are building our own paradise. See, someone gets it.

Been a really busy day and watching the game has been a little stressful. The Bum is pitching and has us stifled. We're still in it though. It ain't over 'til it's over.

Well, we couldn't quite pull it off.

I'm not hanging my head. WE had a great season. We'll be back again....and I'm thinking we won't have to wait another 29 years.

Crap crap crap crap crap
