  5. The Padres have announced that owner and chairman Peter Seidler has passed away at the age of 63. “The Padres organization mourns the passing of our beloved Chairman and owner, Peter Seidler,” said Padres CEO Erik Greupner. “Today, our love and prayers encircle Peter’s family as they grieve the loss of an extraordinary husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Peter was a kind and generous man who was devoted to his wife, children, and extended family. He also consistently exhibited heartfelt compassion for others, especially those less fortunate. His impact on the city of San Diego and the baseball world will be felt for generations. His generous spirit is now firmly embedded in the fabric of the Padres. Although he was our Chairman and owner, Peter was at his core a Padres fan. He will be dearly missed.” The club also announced that they will open the Home Plate Gate at Petco Park beginning this afternoon for those who wish to gather to pay their respects. Free parking will be available at Tailgate Lot. Seidler has been battling an illness for months but his family has requested that the cause of death remain private at this time.
  6. SHOE has been quite punny lately.
  7. An 18 year old woman got a job as a stenographer for the Dept of Welfare in 1953. Today she was honored by the mayor for being the longest-active employee of the city. She now works for the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), still works an 8 hour day in the legal department, and takes the subway to and from work daily. She goes to sleep at midnight and gets a headache if she gets more than 5-6 hours of sleep. "The secret for my long career is that the work has to be challenging," Williams-Myrie said. "This job has meant so much to me over so many years and has made a major impact on my life." Williams graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in the Bronx in 1953. That's when she decided to follow in her father's footsteps by applying for a job with the City of New York. Although her father worked at the New York City Department of Transportation, she accepted her first job at the age of 18 as a stenographer with what was then called the New York City Department of Welfare -- now the New York City Department of Social Services. "We started with manual typewriters, we had to use carbon and onion skin and if you made a mistake, you had to do it all over again," she said. Today, Williams works eight-hours days at ACS as a principal administrative associate in the office of the general counsel.
  8. A cop tried to break up a fight on a train Saturday night & wound being jumped by 4 guys & slashed. He has facial injuries, but is otherwise okay. He chased them off the train and he & other officers were able to chase down & arrest 2 men. One of them is named Brian Innocent. So... I guess Mr. Innocent's innocence is presumed until proven guilty.
  9. Am 81 year old woman and her son & grandson died Saturday night in another fire started by one of these batteries. That's 17 deaths this year in NYC. There really needs to be more regulation & harsher penalties for the people who make & sell substandard batteries.

  16. My friend paid $2.69 for a dozen XL Stop & Shop eggs today.
  17. I used my coupon for a free dozen Organic Valley eggs at ShopRite on Monday. They had one tattered carton of XL, but a lot of the large. The ShopRite eggs were being stocked as I shopped and the egg section seemed fairly well-stocked. I have another coupon for a dozen of their blue eggs, but ShopRite doesn't carry them. Whole Foods does and my niece shops there occasionally, so I'll give it to her to use. She's vegan, but can buy them for the rest of the family to eat.
  18. American supermarkets are facing a blueberry shortage after extreme heat in Peru — the largest exporter of blueberries in the world — resulted in a stingy harvest, according to reports. Peru has been crippled by the El Niño weather phenomenon, which increases global temperatures each time it purrs across the globe every two to seven years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This year, El Niño sparked warmer and drier weather conditions across the South American country, per the NOAA, causing a blueberry drought that’s slashed supplies as much as 70%, Forbes reported. Last week, the volume of blueberries that reached US stores from Peru was less than half of what it was the same week a year ago, according to Forbes. In a typical year, Peru sends about one-third of its 1.3 billion pounds of its blueberry crop to American grocery stores. With that harvest hacked down to some 390 million pounds, blueberries have become a pricey treat. In the past two months alone, a container of blueberries increased $2 per container in the face of dwindling supplies. Some 27 million pounds less of the sweet, tangy fruit have sold in 2023 compared to last year, Forbes reported. “This is the first time in this industry’s history where we have had such a large contraction of supply, because of how big Peru has gotten, globally,” Kasey Cronquist, the president of both the US Highbush Blueberry Council and the North American Blueberry Council, told Forbes. “They were having an endless summer in Peru, and, for blueberries, that has had a consequence,” Cronquist added. Blueberry bushes need temperatures between 32 degrees and 45 degrees Fahrenheit to thrive, though Peru has been sweltering with El Niño-induced temperatures ranging between 59 degrees and 81 degrees Fahrenheit so far this year. This spells bad news for the US, which has come to rely on Peru for its blueberry supply over the past decade. In 2013, Peru sent its first over 1 million-pound batch of blueberries to the US, according to Forbes. By 2020, Peru was America’s main blueberry supplier, and as of 2022, the US imported upwards of 339 million pounds of Peruvian blueberries. Cronquist said that the blueberry industry is working to breed different varieties of the fruit that will be more resistant to heat. By the spring, once North America’s blueberry-growing season starts and growth ramps up in the 10 major blueberry-producing states — Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Michigan, California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, Texas and Minnesota — Cronquist told Forbes that the shortage will come to and end and prices will cool.
