* Pine Nut Road at the intersection of Out-R-Way

— Lake Tahoe News staff report
Bomb squad was behind Jack in the Box near Sussex at 1:15PM. Streets were closed off. Anyone know what’s up?
Maybe somebody left a panini press in the street.
Dogula,
Not a panini press. Possibly a crock pot? We all know how dangerous slow cooked chicken is.
By the way, how’s your snow peas? Mine are just starting to blossom and crunched on my first few pods in the last couple of days. Old liberal Long Skiis
Hey, Long Skiis~we went away for 6 days over the Independence Day holiday and the snow peas went from flowers to fully ready-to-eat pods! Amazing! Been eating them every day. At least, those that the dog doesn’t get! I’ve got this small dog who loves snow peas, lettuce and carrots. I have to fight her for the garden’s bounty! Lettuce is kickin’ B too!
Fresh picked food is the best, isn’t it!?!
