Smalltown Ohio, Taco Salads, and a Digital Camera

Well at least I'm not flying this week, but I had a nice long drive this morning to the sleepy mountainside town of Martins Ferry, Ohio - which, I might add, was apparently the first settlement in Ohio, for all of you history buffs out there. Anyhow, we went to lunch today at one of the three restaurants in the town (not kidding, just three). Looking over the lunch menu, we noticed a strange thing on the menu. A taco salad was one of the menu choices, but it had the phrase "In Season" listed by it...needless to say, me and my co-workers were completely puzzled. Since when can a taco salad be in or out of season? Is this just a spring to summer item? Does anyone out there have a clue about this?

This just in...I've joined the new millennium. I just bought my first digital camera this weekend. I said I would wait until I felt I could get a really good camera with all the features I wanted at a decent price, and I think I did that by waiting for the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ1S. From what little time I've had to mess with it so far, I really like it. Stability control for those shaky hands, 10x zoom, 2.5" LCD screen, 5 Megapixels, and a crapload of scenes and other various features. Had to get it at Circuit City for $332 since Best Buy isn't carrying this one yet. Then I was lucky enough to find a 2GB SD card online for $70, then minus a $20 rebate. Lots of space for just a little dough is always a good thing.
