DSM419 I'm so frustrated that every time a disaster occurs every celebrity is telling their fans to text the Red Cross. Have we not learned by now that the Red Cross isn't doing all it should. If you really...
DSM419 A usually beaten down simple Jack skips away knowing he finally did a good thing! If only he had some idea of what his mother was talking about.

waltberingson I'm glad you feel that way, honey. I just traded you to that giant for three tomato plants.

Alan Reiter Hi Nicole, I don't know why there aren't national standards for food trucks. But are there national restaurant health standards? I don't think so. It's left to the states and local municipalities...
Nicole Ferraro Hi Alan: Interesting about the lack of standards. I wonder why that is? Seems like standardizing what's sanitary and what isn't, across regions, would be a good thing.
Alan Reiter Hi Mary, I don't have a favorite food truck because I try to pick different ones. Washington, D.C. has a fair number of food trucks, especially near the famous museums and other attractions, although...
