Peatle, et al

For those who may not know, Kippers are split, smoked, salted herring. Herring are high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. You may want to limit the amount of Kippers if from larger Herring, as they may contribute a greater amount of mercury or PCB's (an environmental contaminant). Sardines are also high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Since they are much smaller fish, they contribute much less mercury to the diet. So then, which is better? I would say go with the canned sardines. You have a lower exposure to mercury and less salt as well. Throwing in some Kippers once in a while won't be the end of the world though.

as for me - when I was in college I used to eat sardines on crackers but now I I won't either - nor would I eat anchovies they remind me of eyebrows)

Now I do like to eat salmon, cod, halibut, catfish, perch, sea bass, clams, shrimp and scallops  .  but that's about it. 
So many rivers are contaminated -

AS for Texas - I only been there about 8 times - loved it. It is huge - Me and a friend  hitch-hiked through it once right after I graduated college. A semi truck picked us up one evening and told us we we were crazy for hitch hiking - we told him we weren't too scared - (we were thinking he was talking about getting robbed since we didn't have more that $45 between the two of us).  Then he told us no, not that  ,,,,,,  then he said " the sun gets the pavement real hot during the day - and when it gets cold at night - all the rattlesnakes come out and travel on it -   and because so many rodents and other small game so the same - it was prime hunting area.   as we traveled farther up the road - sure as anything - we saw probably over a hundred huge rattlesnakes as we rode through the night.

Also, Buddy Holly was from Lubbock, (West) Texas and used to drive to a recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico.  He and his mates used to drive about 105 miles an hour to get there - trying to get there before they left !!   That was because the time zone change ran through west Texas - so they would leave at 9am  and get there at 8am

As for Breakfast In America - 
1) great group Supertramp - listened to them a lot in college  my favorite song was Bloody Well Right
2) My breakfast is a cup of coffee -and sometimes a blueberry muffin or a yogourt with cheerios and fruit.   
3) Too many Americans pile on pancakes, pastries, tons of bacon and sausage, french toast eggs  etc.... all good stuff once in a while - but I also think its why so many people are overweight. and I get it, if you work at a very strenuous job - that is ok because you burn it off, but so many eat that much and then just sit at a computer all day - not good!

Thank you Brian for the really cool Blizzard - felt good for two weeks in the heat of our summer. Hope it continues.
I was trying end it with another song I wrote - but just haven't had the time.  Soon I hope.

Nice one EB - I have listened to Pogues quite a few times.  This was great bc it included history.

Here is one I like  - Billy strings - what and awesome guitarist he is. This is when he was really young - sitting on a couch playing for some guy that was obviously blown away (by the music and likely some smoke)

Peatle - that made me smile !

strange times indeed. A poem I used to read to my daughters from the book "Where the Sidewalk" Ends reminds me of the people in the world now.

this is the poem

    Smart

    My dad gave me one dollar bill
    ‘Cause I’m his smartest son,
    And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
    ‘Cause two is more than one!

    And then I took the quarters
    And traded them to Lou
    For three dimes — I guess he didn’t know
    That three is more than two!

    Just then, along came old blind Bates
    And just ’cause he can’t see
    He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
    And four is more than three!

    And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
    Down at the seed-feed store,
    And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
    And five is more than four!

    And then I went and showed my dad,
    And he got red in the cheeks
    And closed his eyes and shook his head —
    Too proud of me to speak!
