JUNE 19, 2006 -- Psycheclone … A Google search informed that LPR is not the only site to wonder: who are these guys that seem to visit only in large batches. JUNE 19, 2006 -- The Flower Girl … In case anyone wonders where Shana's wagon was purchased, this is the place: The Flower Girl in Torrington, CT.
JUNE 19, 2006 -- Citgo Update… LPR will no longer be able to use this Torrington Citgo station in Gas Price Watch. (Reportedly, it will be replaced by a Cumberland gas stop.)
JUNE 19, 2006 -- LPR Remembers … … that the country rallied in support of New York City after 9/11.
JUNE 19, 2006 -- Cheery Cherry Picks at Fix … LPR learned late Sunday night that cherry-picking at Fix Bros. Farm, near Hudson, N.Y. off Rte 82 (and not far from the Mobil station that sold regular at $2.89.9 last Saturday) begins Saturday June 24 ($1.50 a pound). Sour cherries July 1st and black sour cherries to be announced. For more info click the LPR link to the farm. JUNE 19, 2006 -- Too Good to be True? This writer has received a few emails, by way of the LPR web address, from the Netherlands based, I believe, "European Awards Department" about winning a nice sum of money by way of website address lottery. One tends to be skeptical about such news and I admit to wondering if this award would cost more in taxes, fees, etc. than would be received. JUNE 19, 2006 -- Summer beauty …

JUNE 12, 2006 -- Loyalty? The New York Post reported on its June 11 front page that Rudy Giuliani is interested in purchasing the Chicago Cubs. Although the former mayor is not exactly wearing a Yankees cap, in the accompanying photo, the cap has the Yankees' "NY" and the mayor is apparently wearing a Yankees windbreaker. But Red Sox owsner John Henry once owned the Florida Marlins. In this age of the free agent, how long uintil the fans swsitch loyalties as easily as the players and owners? (With the exception of Cubs and Red Sox fans, of course, -- which would explain the remored true loyalties of NY Senator Clinton (Cubs?) and NYC Mayor Bloomberg (Red Sox?).
JUNE 12, 2006 -- Requesting Precision in Reporting … Last Thursday, on WABC-TV's late news, Bill Ritter wondered how Iraqis would react to the "murder" of Zaraqwi. It is not to be unexpected that the left might charge the Bush administration with a was crime for killing Zarqawi. It is, however, surprising to hear a mainstream newsman refer to Zarqawi's death with a term signifying a very serious crime. For LPR it is disconcerting to hear vicious thugs who behead people given the euphemism "insurgents" in our media. As some have speculated on the likelihood of retaliation for the killing of Zarqawi, LPR speculates on the aftermath if he were taken alive: hostage-grabbing and bloodthirsty brutality unless he were released. If Zarqawi met up with a real life Jack Bauer, so be it. Zarqawi apparently wanted to rid Iraq (and he was from Jordan) of anyone who is not a Sunni Arab. Where in the media was criticism of the bloodthirsty intolerance of this mass murderer? Where in the media, or certain sections of Congress, are denunciations of the brutality of the jihadists? It seems that all the criticism is aimed at the administration and elements of OUR military. Posthumous war crimes trials for President Lincoln, General Sherman and General Grant, anyone?

5, 2006 -- JUNE 5, 2006 -- WAD if? The weather in New York City has been kind of variable recently -- one day it seems as if it is October, then July, and then late September. Has Iran flummoxed us to thinking it is making nuclear weapons when it already has, and is using against us, a Weather Alternating Device? JUNE 5, 2006 -- Shame on NYC Tabloids … The entire country stood with New York City in the 9/11 aftermath. Statements of support and love from many states and countries could be seen in the people's memorials in Union Square Park and elsewhere in Manhattan. It is unseemly that displeasure with the distribution of federal funds by the Department of Homeland Security should provoke the city's tabloids to insult smaller American towns. Unseemly -- and possibly applauded by our vicious enemies. If we fight over blood money, our enemies don't have to put a finger to a suicide bomb, do they? LPR would also remind the tabloids that a place called, say, Hicksville is located on New York's Long Island. JUNE 5, 2006 -- A Dayton Seaside Lesson for Advertisers … This writer's position in Dayton Seaside was by way of a family business. Recently, I heard a radio commercial stating that the company treats its customers as family. Perhaps it would be better to say that customers are treated as good friends. Family treatment can get kind of rough. JUNE
