What's new at Common Grounds

Hello to all,

It has been a couple of days since I have written.  In that time I have picked up a follower, thanks Jerry.

We have been working on some ideas for improving Common Grounds.  We have been having two homemade soups, a special sandwich or salad and a coffee drink everyday.  I am so pleased at the progress that is being acheived at the coffee shop.  Every week we see new faces in the shop buying a coffee or a lunch.

The new menu boards are going up today or tomorrow.  Not many changes but a few "tweeks" that our customers requested.  Come in to Common Grounds Coffee and Deli and enjoy a great cup of coffee and a pretty good lunch.  Keep an eye out for more changes and events.  Does anyone like the idea of Port Clinton "Iron Chef" competition?  Stay tuned. 

Add yourself to the followers, I really need the confirmation that someone is reading.

What else is happening?  How about this "Political Season" and the advertising?  We have everyone telling us that it is not their fault.  Whom else could it be?  The current and past office holders are all guilty of stealing from us.  Why do we put up with it?  Did you know that the present Governor can tell China to stop dumping products here?  Did you know that the competitor says he can make jobs?  Even the Ohio Supreme Court Justices say they can save jobs!  My 9 year old daughter even asked me last night after seeing a campaign commercial, "how can a Governor stop China from doing anything"? - My answer was "he can't, even if he says he did".

I find it amazing how ALL of the politicians say they have the answer and it all involves taking my money and giving it to someone else.  And if they do have the answers, why are we at this point?   Does it mean that the current conditions in this country have been deliberately set up by the politicians?

We need to get control and make sure that all politicians realize that they work for us not the other way around.  I just wish that we all believed in a hard days work for a good days pay.
I have no idea who to vote for in a couple of weeks.  I cannot believe any of them.  Are we at the point where we say "who is lying the least"?

I am on a soap box and way off topic.  Probably being negative.  I think that I would rather have a hundred commercials about toe nail fungus and the side effects of the medicine than one more campaign commercial.

Thanks for reading, enjoy this wonderful fall weather.  Stop by the Apple Fest in Oak Harbor.  Catch a high school football game or soccer match.  Buy a drink or meal at a locally owned restaurant. 

Enjoy Life, we live in the GREATEST COUNTRY in the world.  We are still free to vent.
