Well, I still remember the rich taste of the deep dish pizzas I ate in
New York back around 1973. Little Caesar used to make a deep pan
pizza that was better than the Domino or Pizza Hut variety, but they
didn't deliver. The pizzas delivered would come to the door just
barely warm and when you open the box the thin layer of toppings are
stuck to the lid. Last time I ordered a pizza delivered was around
1985.
But speaking of tasty pie, there was a family style restaurant in
Poulsbo...until it burned down, that made pies to go. About 15 years
ago...maybe it was 20, they sold for $5.00 for a full size pie. Pick
your poison, they had 'em all. I became wildly enthusiastic over
their peanut Butter chocolate cream pie. But that was over 30 pounds
ago. I intend never to be 267 again. So it's, "Bye Bye Miss American
Pie".

it was, until they began Americanizing it to fit the taste of the American
tourists.

Well, I guess Pizza does originate in Italy. But as usual, we Americans
have had to stick our fingers into the toppings.

But now to another point. What kind of pizza could be made by
someone named Papa Murphy? I mean, Papa Murphy might make irish
stew or irish whisky, but pizza? Papa Giovanni makes real pizza. It
reminds me of the Chinese restaurant in Ann Arbor Michigan that
served a tossed green ssalad as a side dish. I mean, people in the
far flung regions of our country have a weird idea about ethnic
food!

Miriam and All,
Talking about compromising as part of our daily life. That works
well so long as both parties can live with the resulting compromise.
Like the other night. We were out late seeing a couple of new clients.
As
we came into Sequim, I had a sudden craving for Pizza.
"Let's pick up a family size Papa Murphy's", I suggested. Cathy
said, "It's late and if I eat Pizza I'll have indigestion all night.
How about BLT's?"
Well, I really wanted Pizza, but at the same time I know how Cathy
suffers if she eats tomato sauces just prior to bed time. And I
know how this suffering effects her normal sweet disposition.
"I can live with that," I said. And I did.
But voting for Hillary Clinton is not a compromise, for me. She is
totally under the spell of the Empire. The Establishment. Bought
and paid for, although she spins some fantasy about being able to
take big piles of money without being beholden to the givers. But
is voting for Hillary a compromise? No. Clinton is Empire Light
compared to Trump's Empire Heavy.
That's like telling Cathy that we can still pick up that Papa
Murphy's Pizza, only we'll have it with Light Sauce.
Forget that, Light indigestion is no better than heavy indigestion
at bed time. Especially when I have to live with the results. I
already compromised by voting for Obama in 2008. Was I able to live
with that
8 year compromise? Well, I'm still here, if that's living with the
Obama compromise. But lots of people are not here. Little children
playing in the fields of Iraq, blown to bloody pieces by Obama
Drones.
Folks separated from their children and shipped back "to where they
came from". More hidden unemployment. More families suffering from
their inability to cover the basic costs of maintaining a family.
No, I don't think that signing up for another 8 years of the same
old same old, is a compromise. It is called, "Hope Lost".
And after the election I will go back to working for changes in the
Law that will bring some relief to the Working Class. Even knowing
that it is not my government. Even knowing that it is not a
compromise if Hillary sits in the Obal Office. But I will join any
fight to force changes, no matter how small, into this foreign
Empire that has destroyed any hope of democracy.

The trouble with working within the system to bring about change is
that when it is the system that you want to change you are rather
defeating yourself. It appears pretty obvious to me that when
someone is committed to working within the system to bring about
change that person is not interested in changing the system.

Seems to me, the bottom line is how much change do we want andprepared to risk to implement such change? No doubt that the two

believe that if, let's say, Jill Stein or Alyson Kennedy were ever

mighty ugly behavior and possibly violence perpetrated by the
leadership of both parties against that threat. Until and unless we

the West. It is not as good as the Deep Dish Pizza I used to get
when I was in New York, but it is a "ready to cook" Pizza, made while
you wait, and made to order. Pop it in the oven for about ten or
fifteen minutes, and yum yum, hot pizza. We usually get a Cheese,
Black Olive, Pepperoni combo with light sauce.
I suspect that it is about as Italian as Chop Sooey is Chinese. But
I don't buy it for its pedigree.
They put just about anything they can fit on top of a pizza shell.
My kids loved Canadian Bacon and Pineapple.
I will eat most anything except fish on my pizza. I like green
pepper, onions and sausage along with my cheese, pepperoni and black
olives.
But now my clock says it's time to stop
compromising(procrastinating), and get back to work.
