When I went in to my local Dutch butcher this morning to pick up my
weekly order I was told that bad news that they are closing down. They
are victims of bureaucracy. He told me that the government told him he
had to put nutrition labels on all his products, and he cannot afford to
do that. Dang. There is no one around who sells bacon and other pork
products as good and as cheaply as his stuff.

The good news is that he is going to be working in a shop with some of
his friends and they will put me on their list for special orders.
