While the recent announcement that GM's Saturn vehicles will cease production is a blow to the American economy, here's a sideline to the story worth our consideration.
In the early stages of Saturn's creation there was speculation that one of the plant sites under consideration by General Motors was near Bluffton. With the village on Interstate 75 and within short driving distance of Detroit, the speculation may have been accurate.
Bluffton Center for Entrepreneur business tune-up seminars continue in October, according to John Bauer, BCE executive director. Seminars remaining on the fall schedule include:
Note: Material in "The Leek" follows in the great journalistic tradition of "The Onion," a national publication, which covers news like no other publication dares.
Bluffton residents awoke on Oct. 1 to the sight of several "X" and dotted lines marked in white on Main Street. Speculation quickly rambled through coffee clitches around the community as to the meaning of the markings.
Note: I grew up thinking that every kitchen had a metal manual meat grinder that attached to the kitchen table. I didn't realize until I looked for the meat grinder in our present home that one didn't come with the house. So, to create this ham loaf, unless you have such a meat grinder, you'll have to stop in at The Dough Hook and ask for the ham loaf already ground. I've asked several meat cutters in larger super markets to grind a pound of ham and a pound of pork. The result of this request was a blank stare.
Whether you believe in climate change or not does not really matter much despite the conventional thinking. The warming of the Earth's temperature is increasing regardless of what anyone mentally believes. The polar ice caps are melting into extinction without the support or non-support of American public opinion polls. Nature in its most expressive and basic form does not listen to our opinions, wishes, or beliefs. It simply does what it does without regard to our politics.
