>that would make me a pastry chef. And with a roast in the oven... <

Aha! I've got you beat, Mama. Last night I reduced a marinade until it was thickened. So that must make me a saucier as well as all those other things.

Oh I am the cook and the captain bold
And the mate of the Nancy brig
And the boatswain tight, and the midshipmite
And the crew of the capitans gig

But, alas, despite what they may think at that other site, I am not a chef.

I don't know where you live KYH - but where I am - you can actually watch yourself walking in and out of the supermarkets and there are cameras in every aisle. that is how they catch the purse thieves. And it's like that with at least 3 of our big chains as well as many convenience stores.

And if there are gas pumps outside any store - there are cameras - several.

We even have cameras on our roads now - for speeders, road rage, etc.

So big Brother has moved into town up here.

(even fast food restaurants and other restaurants have them as well)

we've even got cameras on most city buildings not to mention all the cameras installed by individual business, churches, schools, etc.

Most schools here you cannot get in unless you are buzzed in.

you can't even go into a McD's playroom without cameras on you.

Mama...where do you live ? If thats not too personal. But you are correct cameras are a way of life nowadays with all the crime taking place.

I'm in upstate New York - camera city. and they are installing more - they feel that they can put up cameras with radar on the highways and nail us all for going a mil over the speed limit - and you can't fight it - they got pix

most cities and townships are plastering them all over -
