Florida onions must be very good if they pass them off as Vidalia onions.
An investigation has been launched into improprieties at Bill Gates’ Vidalia onion operation. by Chip Carter | May 08, 2015 Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black has launched an investigation into allegations of improprieties at Stanley Farms, the Vidalia, GA, onion facility acquired last year by interests connected to billionaire Bill Gates. Mr. Black and officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture held an emergency public meeting in Vidalia May 7 with a packed room of Vidalia onion growers to hear allegations that Stanley Farms recently processed as many as 400 truckloads of conventional yellow Florida onions at the same facility where it processes Vidalia onions without separating the two as required by law, an infraction that carries a fine of $5,000 per incident up to $20,000. Growers at the meeting also raised allegations that Stanley may have packed those Florida onions as Vidalias. According to statute 2-13-134 of the Georgia Vidalia Onion Act of 1986, misrepresenting other onions as Vidalias is a felony carrying potential punitive measures consisting of “a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000 <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>
Hundreds of truck loads of produce were hauled out of the Plant City Farm & Flea Market this past Friday. They were headed to locations all over Florida from Miami to Pensacola, and dozens to out of state locations in Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina and Tennessee, with three trucks going to Virgina, and two trucks that were headed to Ohio. This pickup truck was going to the Jacksonville Farmers Market on Beaver St. I think he may need to get a bigger truck.

May 27, 1937 Golden Gate Bridge, is dedicated The bridge's opening day was strictly for pedestrians. The day was typical for May in San Francisco: foggy, windy and cold. That didn't stop 200,000 people from crossing the bridge. Many walked. Others ran, tap-danced, roller-skated, unicycled or strode on stilts. <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

German battleship Bismarck sunk by British naval force The battle was a sequel to the Battle of the Denmark Strait, fought on 24 May 1941, in which Bismarck and her cohort the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen had sunk the prestigious British battle-cruiser HMS Hood and damaged the battleship Prince of Wales, forcing her to withdraw. Following that battle Bismarck was pursued for more than two days by ships and aircraft of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. Eventually, on the evening of 26 May, her steering gear was crippled by a torpedo bomber attack, and on the following morning Bismarck was neutralized by a sustained bombardment from a British fleet, she was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. <>

Weekly Horoscope: For May 24, 2015 by Georgia Nicols This is for the week of May 24th thru June 3rd All Signs Mercury is now retrograde. It's official. It will stay retrograde until the 12th, but the safer outer date will be June 27. So right off the bat, this is in the mix this week. In addition, fair Venus is at odds with Uranus (sudden infatuation), followed by Mars at odds with Neptune. (Who am I really?) Then while Mercury itself is retrograde it, too, becomes at odds with fuzzy Neptune. Oy! Too much! (Is this the party to whom I am speaking?) This opens the door wide - too wide - for disappointments and feeling let down by someone plus confused communications. Hot tip: If you write drunk; edit sober.
