Brief pre-work memo to myself

re: Martha Stewart. We've all known for some time that the woman is mental, but it's hard to get everyone to chip in for an intervention when the patient is richer than Croesus. Is the answer a telethon? She needs help ( Read more... )

The irony here is too funny. Still, plenty of other formerly simple and quaint small, Western towns now cater to yuppie-dom. Stewart's exposure could very well nudge Lakeside in that direction.

I am ashamed to say that if that happened, I would consider moving back. Aside from being socially mired somewhere between Blue Velvet and the swamp, there are inadequate resources of Szechuan food and independent bookstores -- two things I have required, on the molecular level, since zygote-hood.

As someone who moved from the midwest to the San Francisco Bay a number of years ago and appreciates the food, book, and other options here, I think I can identify with what you're saying.

I don't deny that Martha has a gift, loads of talent, and extraordinary skills. But she's mean as cat shit and uses her powers for the forces of evil. I have seen her make little old ladies cry. And, like a cockroach, she consumes huge amounts, and creates waste in even greater amounts. It's one of the miracles of science. Not to mention EVIL!

Yes, the local IGA...we had one of those when I was a kid in Wilsonville, OR. But it closed down, and now they have a 24 hour grocery that has a very decent wine department, and good French brie...strange things happen in small towns sometimes. Probably due to the proximity of the river, or possibly because the Trailblazer's all used to live in the area.

Though I agree with you, it would be deeply entertaining to see people demanding gourmet goodies in most parts of Montana. When my sister was working for a posh ranch/hotel in the Bitteroot mountains, the only place to get gourmet food was the hotel. Everywhere else was hot dog central.

Do you remember the signs that used to be near the Oregon border that basically said 'thanks for VISITING. Now sod off.'? I'm not sure if they have taken those down, or not.
