Okay, here was my score. I got .17 pounds of ginger
at $2.99 a pound rather than $3.99 a pound. Money saved:
26 cents. I hope the store doesn't go out of business.

Is your poster up on the post office wall yet among the other top ten
most wanted? If so is there anyway to get several 5 by 8's sent to me?

(laugh!) I wouldn't do that to you, Alan.

I have no idea. I bought a piece of ginger a few minutes
ago, when I looked over the receipt, I saw that the cashier
rang it up as garlic. Next time I'm in the store I'll check to
see if one costs more per lb than the other.

Neat! Now don't spend it all in one place!

In some places, she would be in the top ten most wanted. Take a look at the top
ten in Sumter County, Florida:

Maybe her crime was not quite as big those, but where are the murderers,
rapists, and bank robbers? ;-) If those are their top ten, it must be a much
safer place than where I live.

But I'd love a sketch, crayon or otherwise, painting or photograph of
you. Sent a skulpture if all else fails. Bronze Placque? Image in silly
putty? Plaster Bust?

LOL. I'm sure the store has more than made up for their loss by now by
(accidentally?) overcharging some other customer for something.

Now that you mention it, once I complained in writing about a
couple of things, one of them being that the nuts they sold were
rancid. The store manager told me there was a $25 voucer for me
at the desk. I didn't pick it up. Consider this episode me getting
my 25 bucks a hundredth at a time. (laugh)

Perhaps the murderers and rapists aren't stupid enough to get themselves
photographed. Actually, non-payment of child support is a darned good
reason to be "wanted". You got to pay to play (so to speak).

I suppose if something truly needs bashing, it's O.K., just as bashing
people's taste in food is O.K. on usenet. But I was pretty sure that
column was innocuous. If anyone wanted to bash it, it would be for its
off-topic quality, not for anything worse.

I agree it's an important issue, I was just surprised there were NONE of the
really big crimes that scare people in most communities. That's quite a contrast
to the most wanted list here in Washington, DC. There's not a single child
support case in the bunch. Also, we don't have a ten most wanted. Ten is too
small a number! ;-) Instead we have on the most wanted list:

10 homicide
4 sexual assault
8 aggravated assault
2 armed robbery
1 burglary
3 theft
1 carjacking
1 cocaine distribution
1 fugitive
1 scam artist
1 child abduction
1 kidnapping

That's because the list is *all* about child support payment. This is a
fairly well established tactic in the field of child support, to publicize
the names and other information on the guys (usually) with the largest
amount of back child support due. No other crimes are ever going to be
on that list.

Actually that's not true. There have been other crimes on the list, but not as
often as child support. In the same newspaper, there's the most wanted list for
the adjacent county, and there is not one child support case currently on it.
The second county (Lake) is much more developed than the first county (Sumter).
One would expect more serious crimes to occur in a more urban and higher
population area than a rural area. Not that one can really use the term "urban"
in either of these counties.

I first got into this because a good for nothing relative of mine is likely to
appear in one of those two lists eventually, and it won't be for child support.
I don't depend on the newspaper for except as another source of information.
It's amazing what you can get with online police, court and criminal records
these days.

short-weighting is discussed in the torah and the old testament as
well. (they disapprove it.)

I just hate when it weighs out just fine, but is loaded with
stems and seeds.

i think both the torah and the o.t. are mute on that subject. their
