All confusers "fight" with their operators. It's endemic. My main quibble
is with the sidebar AI being intrusive and assuming that it knows better
than I what I am looking for. I fear that AI bots will soon control much
of our lives. And not a one of them restyricted by Dr. Asimov's "Laws of
Robotics". Bv(=

The problem was I was nearly ready to go lay my head down. I had a late
lunch that day and wasn't hungry. But it's hard to turn down both the
nice gesture or the steak. Bv)=
I'm nt big on bagged salads. The price/benefit ratio is all in favour
of Dole (or whoever). I keep a grater handy and can chop lettuce easily
for a lot less $$$ than the pre-bagged stuff. Plus my neighbour lady has
been sharing the bounty of her tomato vines. Lots of BLTs and salads in
the past couple of weeks.
I'm going to make a cut-down version of this. Hy-Vee is offering seedless
watermelos @U$2.49. And I'll sub cantaloupe for the honeydew. It will
make a meal (or two).
