Step around the poop, if you can

My blog, I have missed you, my friend-feels good to write something, anything, here especially.

This made me think about home and comfort:
The Route 66 Cookbook: Comfort Food from the Mother Road by Marian Clark, Michael Wallis

No wonder we run to grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup,a pint of Chunky Monkey,1970's toys and classic rock

Im guessing what is done for the 20 and 30 year olds that are in need of comfort- Eat some Sushi,drink some Red-Bull,do some shopping at Saks for Prada and listen to old 1990's music?

I recently did some research and found that there was one last Farrells Ice Cream Parlor left in California, in was in the San Diego area since 1968. It just closed in June of this year.



I also have been contributing stories to an online newsletter,I did well as far as being marked a favorite, however, these are non-native Los Angeles snooty,geeks that have absoultely NO sense of humor,not the best place to find comfort for me or to contribute stories to, so, after a series of public,anonymous comments accusing me of plagarizing, I will gracefully take myself off the contributor list for this newsletter and go back to my blogspot where I am comfortable and not judged so harshly in public

Comfort is the key here.

A 78-inch-long model of the Starship Enterprise-D, featured in the title sequence of Star Trek: The Next Generation and used in other episodes, sold for $576,000 today at Christie's "40 Years of Star Trek" auction. The estimate on it was $25,000 - $35,000.

From the Associated Press:
Other top sellers included a replica of Capt. James T. Kirk's command chair from the bridge of the Enterprise-A on the original "Star Trek" series.

The painted wood chair was only a re-creation for a 1996 episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" that mixed action from that newer series with old footage, but it still sold for $62,400.

Yom Kippur is considered a most important holiday of the Jewish year.
Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and/or attend synagogue services on this day and no work can be performed on this day.
You are not supposed to eat or drink (even water)-beginning before sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and ending after nightfall on the day of Yom Kippur.

The name "Yom Kippur" means "Day of Atonement," and that pretty much explains what the holiday is.
It is a day set aside to "afflict the soul," to atone for the sins of the past year.

Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man and God, not for sins against another person.
Righting the wrongs you committed against another person with the other person must all be done before Yom Kippur.

The Talmud also specifies additional restrictions that are less well-known:
washing and bathing, putting on cosmetics,deodorant, wearing leather shoes (Orthodox Jews wear canvas sneakers under their dress clothes on Yom Kippur), and having sex are all prohibited on Yom Kippur.

Most of the holiday is spent in the synagogue, in prayer. In Orthodox synagogues, services begin early in the morning (8 or 9 AM) and continue until about 3 PM. People then usually go home for an afternoon nap and return around 5 or 6 PM for the afternoon and evening services, which continue until nightfall. The services end at nightfall, with the blowing of the the shofar.(a rams horn) Then, you leave and pig out.
