Irritations

[Herlock Sholmes]

Not generally a fan of radishes myself. But I do like pickled radishes. What I do is to take left-over (dill) pickle juice and put radishes in the jar for a couple of days. It bleaches them, but they get a nice sharp flavor.

I like the sound of that CF.

According to the internet drinking pickle juice will instantly stop a bad night time leg cramp. Friends have told me this as well from personal experience. I am guessing it is the huge hit of sodium that does it. Seems to be lots of anecdotal evidence for this.

I was walking in downtown Washington, D.C. yesterday around 5:00 p.m. Lots of traffic and people out on the streets. There was a husband and wife ahead of me on the sidewalk with four kids ranging from about 4 to 8. So, little kids. The parents are walking almost an entire block ahead of the kids without once turning back to check on them. The parents get to a cross walk with just a few second left on the walk sign. They start yelling run kids, get across, never holding their hands or watching them to make sure they got across safely. I said nothing but wanted so badly to slap them silly. Idiots. They're your damn kids. Watch them and take care of them. It's called being a responsible parent.
