The girl on the radio said coffee will no longer have to carry consumer warnings. This may be the best news yet.
It no longer causes cancer or heart disease. Well that is nice to know but even if it did, coffee is one thing this ole boy will not give up. I think I will have another cup before I switch to ice tea the rest of the day.

I also remember her promoting Hessmer's Barbecue... not sure what ever happened to them?

Activist groups are lining up to help Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms with a new plan to sell off the city jail. The facility has become a financial burden following a streak of criminal justice reforms.
The detainee population at the Atlanta City Detention Center has dropped dramatically. City Corrections officials say recently that up to about 150 people are held there on a given day. This time last year, that number was closer to 700.
About a tenth of the building’s capacity is being used to house inmates.
On Monday, the Atlanta City Council saw an early draft of legislation that would close the facility.
Marilynn Winn leads the advocacy group Women on the Rise. She calls Atlanta’s detention center “the EXTRA jail.”
“It exists in addition to Fulton and DeKalb county jails and houses people merely for traffic and city ordinance violations,” Winn told City Council members.
The building also holds a dwindling number of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees. Bottoms stopped accepting those detainees in June, in response to President Donald Trump’s immigrant family separation policy.

An activist campaign to close the city jail was born at the same time. Just months later, Xochitl Bervera, with the Racial Action Justice Center, has a proposal ready.
“So we come with a solution, and we have a policy brief here today that we want to share with you,” Bervera said.
Her group is one of a coalition of advocacy organizations behind changes to Atlanta policy like bail reform, reclassifying marijuana charges and pre-arrest diversion. She says the same model for community input can work to decide the jail’s future.
Operating the facility costs the city of Atlanta $33 million a year.
Activist Devin Barrington-Ward told the City Council that whatever happens must be a step toward helping the city’s most marginalized groups.
“Use the savings to invest in the communities who have been impacted by 20-plus years of using the police and the jail to address problems caused by white supremacy and institutionalized racism,” Barrington-Ward said.
He was one of several speakers who discouraged the idea of directing any sale proceeds toward Atlanta police.
Bottoms had introduced the idea of selling the detention center in a Fox 5 interview late last week. That news spot included the idea of reappropriating jail funds to city law enforcement. The mayor’s office has not offered any further details on any plan.
City Council is expected to start discussing next steps during its Public Safety Committee meeting next week.

The coffee story came out of California. It figures the land of fruit and nuts would consider such a thing.
It is heart breaking to see what Atlanta has turned in to.
Months after the Atlanta City Council began discussions about closing Atlanta’s city jail, advocates of the plan held a rally ahead of Monday’s council meeting asking the city to create a task force to repurpose it into a wellness and freedom center.
“Atlanta calls itself a welcoming city,” said Marilynn Winn organizer of the rally. “We want to be on the road of divesting in jails and investing in community safety and health.”
If the idea passes the council, a wellness and freedom center would provide residents with a one-stop shop for employment, healthcare and child care assistance.
Winn said her organization, Women On the Rise, organized the rally to create more public awareness of the discussion about ways to reuse the Atlanta City Detention Center. Winn said Bottoms had suggested a potential task force to decide the future of the jail would be comprised of 30 to 40 people selected by from the community and the mayor’s office.
“We want it that way because we want everything to stay transparent,” Winn said.
“Since Mayor Bottoms announced her intention to close the Atlanta City Detention Center last summer, her administration has been actively working with the community and stakeholders—including many of the social justice advocates who came to city hall today—to design a process to engage the community on how we repurpose the jail,” a spokesperson in the Mayor’s Office said in an emailed statement. “The administration expects to introduce legislation in the near future.”
Legislation proposing a task force could come as early as May 20, the next Atlanta City Council meeting.

Don that is what happens when the inmates run the asylum.
No, this is what happens when you have a mayor who wants to have a sanctuary city. Atlanta/Fulton County does not even have a Fugitive Squad.
Our news:
- Fire in Cobb County
- Shootout, 1 dead.
- Domestic violence man on front porch with a gun.
- Temperatures in the 80s.
- Gwinnett county Murder-Suicide. 2 kids orphaned.
Sounds like fun.
More news:Sounds like fun.
- Rain Wed - Fri (we need it)
- Man arrested for stealing stuff at an Apple store.
- He has 14 other charges (all for Shoplifting at Apple stores)
- Shoplifting is okay in Atlanta.
- Thieves happy.
- Lady fills up. Gets robbed.
- Young female runs over a police officer and does not stop. She is under arrest.
- Another shooting 1 dead in Union City.
- That is all.

Ate at KFC today. I think the last time I ate there a couple of years ago I swore never again. Well it was even worse today. Never again again. How could they take something that once was a treat and make it literally inedible? The fact that the Colonel hasn't come back raising hell proves definitively that when once you go you ain't coming back.

Tell us what went wrong with the food?
This my present modus operandi. More of a what did do than a how to. This Paddock>D-league is it for me and social media. Don't tweek, don't face, not linked in. I'm sure reading Austin's posts that he's forgot more than I'll ever know utilizing these various platforms.This is Win10 Pro & Google Chrome. Anywho here's what I do. It's very dynamic and flexabile if you are using a desktop (laptop) And you're in control. I like being in control. Not of others but of self.
This in my gallery because I did not want it to disappear.
- Created a dummy gmail account with google. Writing down address and password for reference saving an electronic (docx) and hard copy (print) for spammers to attack..
- Used that to create an imgbox.com account in the cloud where I could send and retrieve the imagebox password. Again saving both electronic and hard copies.
- In My documents>My images I created a "Cloud uploads" directory as an upload container in case the cloud (imgbox) evaporates they are not lost. There I put images from the internet or personal photos I wish to upload for posting.
- Logging in to your imgbox.com acount you are ready to get started
- I created galleries for emojis and others for photos.
- Save internet link to imagebox account with password on to your bookmarks bar. Now it's available for quick access
- Now when you click the Bookmark bar link, your imagebox account opens to your internet cloud imagery. After one upload from your desktop Cloud uploads, every time you click upload it connects to the Cloud uploads directory. When you upload you select the gallery to upload to. I'm still learning about the site.
- I create the emogies using google's search engine. Right click internet image and save as *.png, *.jpg, *.tif or whatever I've created and put into my desktop Cloud uploads.
- Any open image in google chrome can be searched for whether they exist or not. Google always creates the an icon (emoji) to enhance user experience. Right click icon to save as image. Navigate to the desktop Cloud upload and then image save image to the cloud uploads. Now all internet saves default to Cloud uploads by default
- From your imagebox.com upload the your downloaded icon into you emoji gallery at image.box. Ready to use.
- I can edit via Adobe Photoshop, MS Paint or Paintshop. I store these in my Cloud uploads uploading is easy. Removing gallery images is a simple deletion and you still have the images on your system.

Thanks Rooster. Seems simple.
I had a great day today. Picked up Dad and brought him out to my house so he could watch me build the other screen door. This time I measured properly and cut accordingly. He saw everything from cutting the pieces to length to measuring and cutting the finger joints. I used an acrylic hammer to fit the pieces together and then stood it up for him to see. I said "what do you think"? He said "that was like watching Yankee Workshop live"!
I didn't really know what to say about that but I was sure happy that he got a kick out of it. Another great memory of something we've done together.

Yes, The "pineapple" has depressed formation of the normal high centered over four corners. Will be interesting to see how close we get to the 120° mark centered around the soltice.
My father worked with KFC when the Colonel was still around in the early days of the franchise. John Y Brown had just purchased the company and he recruit dad to help expand franchises with a vision of going international. At the time their product and quality was as good as any restaurant. For those years the company standards were as high as any in the industry but eventually they got bought out and dad left with John Y to start up Lums restaurant a few spins offs. But the point I wanted to make was Colonel Sanders was very strict and would not put up with a store that messed up his chicken.
KFC has gone down, down in their product and quality over the years.
Good morning D League
It is 73 ° and sunny with a high forecast for high 80's. Another day without any rain. We are really dry down here. The girl on the radio said we have a 60% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. I pray it comes.
National Veggie Burger Day. I have never had one and probably never will. Meanwhile I am going to get out some Osborne Brothers and Listen For The Rain.
