The Garlic Epiphany

You know how they always tell you (you know, the old folks), "You'll just know"

As in, "You'll be running through life a hundred miles an hour, and she'll just stop you in your tracks"

That happens. It happened. But its gone now.......until it happens again. (As I have also learned from all of my 50 yr old comrades, this is bound to happen several times in life. Halving of your fortune each time is optional)

On a more pertinent note: 



I bought two heads of garlic the other day. (From friggin Hy-Vee) They were in a bag.
Printed on said bag: Product of China.

Not the bag, not the label, but the GARLIC was grown in China. Fucking garlic gets shipped across an ocean and half another continent before I try and eat its tasteless desiccated (look it up) hull.

Talk about a Slow Food uppercut!

I'm the hard-core Ron Paul Republican who has his entire yard planted to vegetables. Sort of a hippie exterior with a Kruggerand (look that one up too) core.

I sense my Land Rover driving yuppie-ass self is about to revert back to being a self sustaining pioneer again, heating my house with wood, owning more guns than yesterday, and having better functional strength than you.

And no, I'm not joking.
Stay Frosty!
