Boxing Day

For our traditional Boxing Day Chinese dinner we all went to China Rose in Brunswick, ME. 

The last time we were there in late Summer the food had gone from mediocre to barely edible. We stopped going.

When we read in the local paper it was under new management we thought we'd give it another go.

We're sorry we did.  This time the food was not even edible.  When I tore apart a conglomerate of chicken slices in black bean sauce I found the meat inside to be raw.

When I pointed this out to the waitress she laughed and took the dish away.  Leaving soon after I told the management. 

They said "raw chicken!" &  laughed some more.  In the middle of this conversation a woman came in to warn of the icy conditions in the parking lot.

He laughed again and said "No much I can do about it. "

Then I told him he just lost business from 2 regular customers. 

He frowned that.

Things change by remaining the same.

Nine years ago I met a man who I thought held a certain position.  It took me three years to discover that he didn't.  As of today, he now does.  Amazing what can happen if you wait around long enough!

Does Scibefire for Opera work?

If you're reading this on Belltowernews.com, it does.  This is a much underused blogging tool I made great use of when Chrome was my primary browser.

Now that I've started up a new laptop and, in an attempt to keep things simple, I am using opera for browsing, reading and all my email, it's good to know It can be used now to also write to the blog, a habit I would like to more than I have been of late. 

A caution here:  I just went to my Picasa online photos and was very surprised to find a copy of picture I took with my EVO.  I thought I sent the picture, which was of a document, to Evernote only.  It surprised me to no end to find it sitting there all nice and exposed in my Picasa Gallery.  The good news is it was in my not public, but how not public these files are is anybody's guess.  I need to check settings on the phone and with Evernote to see that this doesn't happen again.  Taking pictures of information for later use is too convenient for me not give it up.
