I love tomatoes straight off the vine even more than my Uncle Guy, who wrote the song, “Homegrown Tomatoes”.  He told me, “You know that’s a love song.”  Oh, I know what good is. 

So imagine my sadness at the salmonella incidents ripening as we speak.  Six new cases were reported in NY today. 

Now, imagine my reaction to my sweet neighbor handing me some homegrown tomatoes, “What?  Are you trying to kill me?” 

Not to worry, says the FDA.  Click here for the feds’ advice on tomatoes safe to eat.   

Let’s face it.  If we’re going to go green (not Louisiana lawmaker green), we’re going to need to change the way we dress.  I’m about to start taking my bike to work regularly (more on that later).   Think about it…100-degrees, humidity galore, working up a sweat.  Something has to give on the fashion front.  I’ll call it “Business A-Tire”.  Or not. 

Anyway, want to know what I think?  The Businessbib is nothing but a front, not to mention goofy.  Why pretend?  Can’t we make it more acceptable to dress a tad more casual to be practical for our lifestyles?   

What if, when I start biking to work, I didn’t wear a blazer on the set?  Would you be offended?  Would you care?  Would you deem me any less credible?  There are some OCD types who get upset when an anchor’s hair part changes to the other side. 

More later on the dress aspects and other details of communting to work in a more environmentally conscious way.
