I have to relate this...
this morning, Ron was watching the Green Channel, and Emeril Lagasse was 
doing a show where he took a woman to the supermarket to pick out 
vegetables and such to teach her about them and how to cook side dishes. 
  Of course, it is the Green channel, so he talked about organic, how 
foods are frozen, yada yada, he goes into  detail in the produce section 
about varieties of eggplants and other veggies...and THEN he starts 
talking about the availability of produce, carbon footprints and 
locavorism, even though he did not, to my memory, use that term. 
Immediately after his carbon footprint/locally grown diatribe, he walks 
over and picks up a Vidalia Onion.  I am quite sure they weren't in 
Vidalia or even in Georgia.  What a crock!!  Practice what you preach, 
Emeril!

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
