And now a moment about Southern Cal

Well, the London news if full - and so we will break in with this late breaking news.

So, I am driving to work and I hear about Vons (now owned by Safeway) who got in trouble. Apparently they were selling grapes that were grown in Mexico as "Californian Grown". California has a tendency to be touchy about this. We grow a lot of things here, and we are proud of it.

So I hear the fine. $3,000. And I think. Well, that isn't a fine. Hell, that is nuttin!

Then they explain it is $3,000 per bag of grapes they sold. And I think. Well, that IS a fine. I bet they don't do that again.
