SANATOGA PA – Recent jottings from a reporter’s notebook:
Creamed Chipped Beef Vs. Scrambled Eggs
The ugly start of an uglier conversation, overheard Friday morning (June 18, 2010) at The Sunshine Cafe on West Ridge Pike in Limerick:
- She: “See, we have different ideas about eating out. When I eat at a restaurant, I want to have something I normally wouldn’t cook at home. That’s not what you do.”
- He: “If you cooked it well at home, I wouldn’t have to order it when we went out.”
It seemed wisest not to stick around for the rest.
Playing Catch-Up
There are never enough hours in the day, it seems, to accomplish everything on a to-do list. That’s particularly true in the news business, in which the pressure of current events keeps reporters and editors moving at a fast clip. Some things, consequently, slip through the cracks, and for that reason The Post today plays catch-up.
If you were unable to attend the formal flag retirement ceremony earlier this month (June 6, 2010) at Memorial Park in Pottstown PA, you missed a stirring and emotion-laden event. Old or tattered United States flags – no longer in appropriate shape to be publicly displayed – were formally sectioned and burned, and their ashes buried. The Post reported on it with a story and photos, but lacked time then to produce an accompanying video. See it above.
Today (Monday, June 21, 2010) is the first day of summer, with temperatures expected to reach into the ’90s across southeastern Pennsylvania. All kinds of flowering plants are in bloom now, and more will be soon, in the Universal Accessible Garden on the south side of the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension and 4-H Center, Route 113, Creamery PA.
The Universal Accessible Garden is one of several demonstration, or learning, gardens Cooperative Extension operates at its county headquarters. It’s intended to show that anyone – kids of all ages; people who don’t have a lot of space; or those who suffer from physical or developmental limitations – can enjoy the relaxation and beauty of gardening. There’s something interesting and pretty to see there almost any time of year; footage in the video above was filmed last August (2009).
