Crews battling fire at Patti's 188's Settlement
Patti's 188's Settlement - Patti's

A very popular and semi local restaurant burned today. It’s about a 2 hour drive. They say they’ll reopen. Town has a population of 350. They employ 200 and served 350,000 last year according to the news.
Worst part is I promised the wife a trip to Patti’s during the last layout and I got sick and had to cancel. She wanted a pork chop. They’re only 2 inches thick. Very tasty. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been down there.

Wher did you get it? I'm tired of spilling fuel all over, no matter how careful I am.

I got it at Tractor Supply.

Busy day today running to the Dr's then couple of stores for groceries. Had the stress test.. **** near killed me:confused2: made it through on the treadmill.

ticker looks good to go for another year (hopefully). I was concerned about the b/p but the doc says 'perfect' for my age. :cool2: Got all the errands done today so it's definately play time in the shop tomorrow! Predicted high for tommorow is 64* and calm. Might get some outside work done.

Funny thing about the 'flu shot'.. Asked both the doc and his nurse if they got the shot.. Both said no....mmmmm, makes you wonder?

Heard this evening that the "test" they are using to diagnose the flu has a high number of 'false negatives'. I wonder if this has caused a miss diagnosis or simply non-diagnosed flu case, resulting in the critical cases or some of the deaths.

We had a small town near here that the biggest business was a restaurant. It was a great place, we used to go there with friends. It was in a large brick building, the family owned the whole block. They had a hardware store, a antique store, and craft store. There were apartments above, I think about 20 people lived there. It caught fire one night, completely destroyed. The owners decided not to rebuild, leveled the site. The only other businesses were a gas station, and a funeral home. A year later, the funeral burned down. Not much reason to go there anymore....

There were a few nurses locally that didn’t get the shot, all the doctors that contracted with the state in Worcester County did as long as my wife was there. Those that didn’t had to wear a mask at work during flu season. With the information available to medical professionals, I can’t imagine voluntarily not getting the shot unless one has allergies or some such. But doctors are people, and people have strange obsessions. I hadn’t heard about the false negatives, but I’m no longer privy to inside info. Everyone has to follow his heart, but don’t leave your head out of the decision.:thumbsup:

Its snowing here now, supposed to get about a inch. And its predicted that it will snow every day this week. We have about 4 to 5 inches on the ground now.
