She's running for office? Looked like professional courtesy to me.
Take the nacilbupeR pledge: I solemnly swear that I will help back out all Republicans at the next election.

Judging by their costume and demeanour, they appear rather to be refugees from a Trollope novel. · · ·

Hey, I hope that they were from either Pepe's or Sally's I suspect that itstarted may be familiar with Sally's Pizza. Joe... My time in New Haven was limited to the Payne Whitney Gym for Swim Meets... and one week in 1953, when I was being recruited for Yale, and stayed at Bob Kiputh's Apartment. My bride remembers "Sallys" but that was way back in the last century when she interned at Grace New Haven '57?....(and maybe before Pizza became really popular... late 1950's) I did go to Mory's, and a steak house about two blocks from the gym. I had a "training" steak with mushrooms, and ended up in the hospital for poisoning... two days, and a close brush with a very bad situation. Ach... doesn't take much to trigger memories. Gawd... over 50 years ago... how time flies.

Had your upbringing been in the elevated world of Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, there would be no possiblility of mistaking them for the Jane Austin characters !

Itstarted, you mentioned before Pizza became popular. Men of my father and my grandfather's generation called them "Tomato Pie" when I was a kid in the early 60's. According to Wikipedia, Tomato Pie goes back at least to 1910 in Trenton.

Gawd... over 50 years ago... how time flies.  Many moons ago when I was in my early teens, an elderly gentleman who remained active in his golden years (old Yankee work ethic) sold vegetables from his own gardens. I don't know how he was a family friend, but he was. He even once gave my mother his family's secret Vermont Relish recipe. It was out this world, especially on hotdogs and hamburgers. To this day, I regret not getting a copy. I've tasted some good relish, but nothing like this. At any rate, my mother asked him one day, "What's it like to be 70 (He was 70+)? He answered, "It's like a walk around the block." That was over 45 years ago, and to this day I still vividly remember his response.
