Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

We've brought in the herbs from our garden as well as some of the brocolli we planted. Our very first harvest....successful harvest. Yesterday our daughter Victoria got out the dehydrator and jammed it full of herbs to get ready for storage. The smell filled the house...mmm...was very nice. We do have some other plants in our garden...corn..which has not really gotten very tall so I'm not sure we're going to get anything out of that. Our peppers looked really nice..then they were gone so I suspect some little rodent has made off with them. Oh well.... It was finally a good year for us as far as gardening goes so there won't be any complaining.

Then there's those stinking earwigs!! 10 were found in the back stair area the other morning. They are so gross to look at but at least they don't carry diseases and do not bite.


WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS...

Former president Bill Clinton just got an interesting offer from a 39-year-old former councilor from Nairobi. He's offered Clinton 20 cows and 40 goats in exchange for the hand of his daughter Chelsea in marriage. It's apparently the second time the man has made the offer. The man is actually already married, but that's not a problem as polygamy is A-OK in Kenya. The Clintons turned him down.

The 4 star Crown Plaza Hotel in Venice, Italy mistakenly posted a weekend getaway at their hotel for just 1 penny. Not surprisingly, the hotel received bookings for the equivalent of 1,400 room nights. The hotel normally costs an average of $200 per night. The company said, although it was an error on their part – the hotel is committed to honoring the 1 cent rate for guests who have a valid confirmation.

A Russian oil billionaire is building a new yacht…that measure 557 feet long. It’s called the “Eclipse”…and it should be ready early next year. The pricetag: $500 million.

A man in Greenwich, Connecticut broke into his neighbor's home over the weekend while the owner was away -- not to steal anything but to cut his pubic hair and leave the trimmings behind. Police say the man felt guilty about his actions and ended up telling the neighbor what he did. She later called the police on him. The man was charged with first degree burglary and was released on a $2000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court today
