drive......

ok,so right about where my mother screeched about the $1.92/gal gas.....in the worthington/dublin/upperarlington area of columbus....there was a billboard for an upcoming dave matthews concert.......but that is not the topic of my blog.....no...it is about my day, which involved crazed driving from place to place.....first...to harrodsburg high school for a health fair, then to a diabetes support group....then to frankfort for a training whereupon the person leading the event seemed unconcerned that there were no farmers from my county present to learn about how the government would reimburse them for selling produce to low income women.....and this moron (thin, in high heels, moron.......) actually implied that maybe i would have to recruit my own farmers.......whoa nelly.........i am willing to do many things to help mankind.....but i do not think that i am willing to go farm to farm asking perfect strangers if they would care to take vouchers for produce......am i being petty, and somewhat lazy, gentle readers...to scoff at the state staff's request that we could have a viable farmer's market if i would just find the farmers..........which doesn't mean that i would actually have to farm to qualify......there are certain herbs on the acceptable list, including mint......anmd therefore i could be a mint farmer who happens to buy the rest of her saleable fruits and vegetables from somebody else's farm......but i digress...because i have neither the time nor the energy to try to pretend that i am a truck farmer.....though i come from a long line of truck farmers.......my great uncle bill stephan was a truck farmer, and he was the son of michael stephan......whose relatrives we visited in germany a few years ago.....and they were big produce farmers in the cleveland area.........and mayhaps that is why i feel so connected to my own ground.....with flowers and herbs rather than with vegetables.......who knows......but i digress yet again.......i attended at 2 hour training for nothing, it would seem......and there was nobody in authority who could tell me any different.......welcome to public health i was told when i finally dragged my sorry body back to my office..........
