this is my favourite drink ever. i drank two yesterday. it was exactly $2 at the clinic and $2+tax elsewhere. oh yeah, i had to go to the clinic to get both of my inhalers replaced. i've been without the important one for a few months and i've been using a basically empty blue one for a few weeks. i don't have prescription coverage anymore since i'm 21, so i've been trying to go as long as possible without my medication. my sister paid for them since i gave my last $100 to my parents. i should probably get a job so that this doesn't happen again.
One of the daily chores that Steve performs is counting the feed in his 4 giant feed bins. He could do it by having digital scales installed under the bins, but that costs $2,000 per bin - money that could be used for many other things, from a tractor to college tuition. So, instead, every afternoon, he takes a home-made 12 foot shovel, climbs to the top of each bin to level off the feed in each one using the shovel, and then measures the amount remaining. It's a necessary task, to stay current and order new feed to be delivered just-in-time by Tyson, so that the chickens never go hungry. Like every business - no matter how complicated - the formula for success boils down to some basics. For chicken farming, the basics are: 1. you keep them dry and safe, 2. you water and feed them regularly, and 3. you collect all of the eggs you can while breaking as few as possible doing it. As his Tyson manager first dryly told him "It ain't rocket science," but it still involves 100 little details every week, that separate the best farmers from the rest.

Pinelawn Memorial Park is connected to Long Island National Cemetery (directly to the north). It's in Suffolk County, New York -- just over the border from Nassau County -- and easily reachable via the Long Island Railroad. From Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan, it's exactly one hour via train to the Pinelawn station, whence you can see the cemetery as soon as you step off the train.
There are a few famous folks in the non-military part of the cemetery, most notably some jazz musicians. John & Alice Coltrane are buried here. Count Basie and the Lombardo Brothers (bandleader Guy and his saxophonist brother, Carmen) are in the mausoleum west of the main road. Others interred here are former NAACP Executive Secretary (from the civil rights years, 1955-63) Roy Wilkins and, more recently, Biz Markie is here as well.
