I was supposed to pick up my Mom from Harrisburg airport (which is 12 minutes from my house, where her car was parked) this afternoon around 4:30. Her flight from Raleigh-Durham was delayed by mechanical issues, and she was going to miss her Philadelphia connecting flight to H'burg, and have to stay overnight in Philly for a 9am flight. I decided to pick her up in Philly so she wouldn't have to stay in a hotel and then go back to the airport for for a 45 minute flight. Unfortunately, her delayed flight would arrive in Philly at rush hour, so it took over 2 hours to get there, and extra time in traffic to get home. Meanwhile, her checked bag somehow didn't get unloaded, but was put an a different flight into Harrisburg. So, on the way home, we diverted to H'burg and got her bag. A simple 15 minute trip for me turned into almost 5 hours on the road between the office and two airports. GRRRR!

At least the Phillies have found some offense. Up 3-1 in the 5th.

Guess things like this are payback for labor pains getting us here. You are a good man

Had chicken and gravy over Spanish style yellow rice. Pretty good.

Far from being the first time in history where most folks blame or credit the govt, but very little individual action is taken

Are you advocating we start dealing with illegals on a personal and individual level? Is it appropriate to use firearms, are should we stick with lynching?

Is violence the only option you are leaving open?

We can ask them politely to leave, but without government assistance I don't see a lot of individual action that can be taken...

In 1964 or 65 immigration laws were changed and an giant loophole was put into them that allowed a large influx of people coming here. Bill Clinton put someone in a position to stop this, liberal black (women of color... please fill in you own words to make this as non racist as possible), a democrat from Texas, and in words she did. Obama talked about putting an end to folks coming over without approval. This seems to be more than a political issue. As long as folks are paying them nothing will be done. Many commercial beekeepers bring folks over yearly to work a season. These folks get paid well, and have a ton of rights and benefits that they must be given under H-2A laws. If folks were forced to pay fair amount of money for labor (no this is not a union or non union issue) it may help. Shoot, many of the workers earn an entire s year income and really do not want to stay here. Just wondering how much more difficult ( if it is) for folks that want to come here compared to other countries. Perhaps we need to take a look at our process and see if it needs to be adjusted to help the folks we want as neighbors to get here. Definitely do not have all if any of the answers, at the same time have no problem with neighbors No matter where they are from. (as far as neighbors keep some distance, no matter who it is, I do like my space lol)

That's the right way to cook those brussel sprouts. Looks good.

They really do look good. Just can't do them or cabbage. Can't tell you how many meals or family humiliation I have dealt with when my entire family for 3 generations at least love them,
