The Holy Gospel according to the Prairie Messiah

Like a myth you rode in from the west. From the go you had my button pressed. Did the tea-time of your soul Make you long for wilder days? Did you never let Jack Kerouac Wash over you in waves?

Poke Salad Annie, the gator's got your granny, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp.

I headed over to Big Lots again tonight to pick up a few more items for the house. While I was there, I found some Zoe’s Flax and Soy Granola Cereal with cranberries and currants and some homeopathic toothpaste. I just felt the need to mention that since Renae and I were talking earlier about how she was amazed that Veganaise is even available here.

I was shocked to find this Zoe’s Cereal at a discount/dollar store marked at $2.50. I don’t know if this stuff is vegan, since I don’t see the Vegan icon on the box, but I read the ingredients and it appears so. There seems to be a slight Optimum Zen resemblance minus the ginger.

I purchase many things that is not always billed as "Vegan" or "Organic", mainly to save money. However, I do take a few seconds to read labels, even if I am familiar with a product, just to make sure that the integrity has not been changed. Marketing and packaging can be such a dirty and misleading business.

Speaking of misleading, I just performed a spell check on this entry and the recommended spelling for Veganaise was a certain female body part which is a word blogger will not publish. How Funny!

Oh Renae, Neil Gaiman’s blog is featured this week on blogger. Just thought you would like to know.

That Neil Gaiman, he's so nice.

So, wait...Blogger won't publish certain words?!? Your own blog censors you??? That's insanity!

I'm comforted to know that should Mark and I ever move to a less-than-urban area that I'm not necessarily going to be as inconvenienced as I thought.

It's done it to me before. It just seems to be the s-e-x related words.

You need to REBEL!

Seriously, can you turn that feature off? I'm really aghast that your blog censors itself! I had no idea Blogger did that.
