Just wanting to share this, not soliciting, but this is a good cause if anyone is so inclined. We have been getting milk delivered from this local farm for years. Jeff delivers in any weather, holiday or no. If there is any problem, such as truck breakdown, he texts to advise of the delivery change. Jeff is a great young man running his family business which has been in operation since the 1800's. We got a text from Jeff a few days ago that the Dairy lost their entire milking and bottling buildings and they are closed down until they can rebuild. No one was hurt and most of the cows survived, but the business is lost for now. Looking at the news articles and videos below, it is apparent that the Brunton Dairy is loved and supported by the communities. https://gofund.me/07c979f2 https://bruntondairy.com/ https://bruntonmilkman.com/about-us/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064849951726 News Links and Videos https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/video/fire-tears-through-brunton-dairy-dairy-farm/ https://www.dailydispatch.com/StateNews/PA/2023/October/27/VIDEO.Massive.fire.tears.through.Pittsburgharea.dairy.farm.aspx Massive fire tears through Pittsburgh-area dairy farm Source: KDKA-TV CBS 2 Pittsburgh Published: 10/27/2023 12:00 AM A massive fire ripped through a dairy farm in Beaver County on Thursday. Officials said crews were called to Brunton Dairy on Ridge Road in Independence Township for the fire at around 5 p.m. Brunton Dairy is a seventh-generation family-owned business that serves the area. The fire destroyed its milking barn and bottling plant. It's a devastating loss for the family and their business. Brunton's milk is sold at Giant Eagle and smaller retailers around the area. "This whole community supports this family farm," said Nancy Wolfe, the mother of one of the owners. "All these residences here are considered to be part of the farm family." KDKA-TV spoke with a neighbor who saw the flames and ran to help the animals, following his gut instinct.

Tragically Gross Foods Baby Boomers Wont Let Die Too large to copy and paste, but I read thru this last night... some thiungs are very humourous... some I totally agree with, and some I totally DISAGREE with, but worth the look. Being a Baby Boomer myself, I took exception to the slamming of mayonaise, canned tuna, meat loaf, tuna casserole, bologna, jello, and cool whip. These are staples in our home! And we ain't never gonna give 'em up!!! Millenials and Gen-Z er's ...

From economic prosperity to cultural shifts, their influence is palpable. But when it comes to their impact on food, let’s just say that legacy is a bit perplexing, if not horrifying.

The Cat Men of Gotham: Tales of Feline Friendships in Old New York by Peggy Gavan https://we.tl/t-2PvAJJ7BwF Winner of the 2019 Certificate of Excellence and MUSE Medallion from the Cat Writers Association The nineteenth century was a rough time to be a stray cat in New York City. The city’s human residents dealt with feline overpopulation by gassing unwanted cats or tossing them in rivers. But a few lucky strays were found by a diverse array of men—including firemen, cops, athletes, and politicians—who rescued them from the streets and welcomed them into their homes and hearts. This book tells the stories of these heroic cat men of Gotham and their beloved feline companions. Not only does it introduce us to some remarkable men, but we get to meet many extraordinary cats as well, from Chinese stowaways prowling the Chelsea Piers to the sole feline survivor of the USS Maine explosion. Among the forty-two profiles, we find many feline Cinderella stories, as humble alley cats achieved renown as sports team mascots, artists’ muses, and even presidential pets. Sure to appeal to cat fanciers and history fans alike, The Cat Men of Gotham will give you a new appreciation for Old New York and the people and animals who made it their home. As it takes you on a journey through the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, it will amuse and astound you with tales of powerful men and their pussycats. Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, Pa

A friend shared his memories of 9/11 and asked who remembered where they were on that fateful day? I sent my reply, but thought I would share it also, It is certainly a day no one can forget! Who could forget? Oh I sure do remember! Seems like yesterday. I had a long commute to work, about 90 min one way and I went in late and left late to avoid traffic. I was pulling out of my garage when I heard a plane hit the World Trade Center... my first thought was that it was a small plane and a horrible accident. Then when I heard it was a commercial airliner , I was chilled and stunned. Hard to believe it could be an accident. Then , on my way to work, heard about the second tower and knew immediately it was terrorism... the rest of the drive was surreal like I was in a fog.... wondering what would happen next. Then the Pentagon, even more surreal! As I got to the work parking lot I heard the tower collapsed and I visualized a collapse from the point of impact and above... Had no idea till later it was the entire building then both towers. Once inside the office, everyone was in a conference room watching the TV, then we heard about Somerset, PA... totally surreal day! Something in my gut told me that the passengers took heroic action before another target was hit. Have never visited the memorials in NYC but have been to the Somerset Flight 93 memorial several times from the early makeshift memorial to almost what it is today (saw the museum but not the Bell Towers yet). We are only about an hour and half away from Somerset. Have seen the Budweiser tribute and it makes me cry every time the Clydesdales bow down in tribute. Here are the Budweiser tributes on utube in case anyonnot seen it: Budweiser '9/11 Tribute' Ad: Super Bowl 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyP0JsyvYnA&ab_channel=CauseMarketing Respect 20th Anniversary Tribute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riB30oZ4Q9k&ab_channel=Budweiser And here is a link to the Flight 93 Memorial https://www.nps.gov/flni/index.htm https://www.nps.gov/flni/learn/photosmultimedia/photogalleries.htm Also sharing this link: https://www.myktis.com/2023/09/where-was-god-on-911/ It’s hard to believe that September 11 marks 22 years since the horrific terrorist attacks that forever changed the United States of America. You probably remember where you were, but many asked “Where was God?” I was able to speak with Lisa Jefferson shortly after 9/11. Lisa was the GTE operator who took the call from Todd Beamer who was on flight 93 which crashed in the Shanksville, PA, farm field. She prayed the Lord’s Prayer with Todd that morning and promised to tell his wife that he loved her before he put the phone down and said to the others “Are you ready? Let’s roll!” and he and other brave passengers are believed to have averted the hijackers and the flight that was believed to be headed for the White House. Lisa wrote a book titled “Called” and I asked her to read the poem in the back of her book titled, “Meet me in the Stairwell.” I believe it answers definitively where God was on that fateful day. ‘MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL’ author unknown You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say ‘Good-Bye.’ I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, ‘Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go.’ I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn’t coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. ‘I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!’ I said. ‘Of course I will show you the way home – only believe in Me now.’ I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every
