That would be pretty insulting. When they came to Hawaii around 1906, they called their home island "Borinquen." The Spanish came over and renamed the island - that was not cool. The Borinque folk dance music is called "cachi-cachi" music in Hawaii. Here's a Hawaiian man singing about the Borinques and their music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdeNHvJPF2g |

The problem with Puerto Rican food is too many plantains (the wrong bananas) and too few chili peppers. https://rathergood.com/2015/09/10/wrong-bananas/ --Bryan |

As they all use those portable credit card machines now, some restaurants are pre-programming suggested tips. Never that 15% though, often 20% or higher. Yet they complain that if forced to pay the servers well, they would have to increase prices. |

A restaurant in our town tried it and went out of business. The staff was not making enough with their "living wage" and customers thought the prices were high even if they did not tip. They lasted about 6 months. I know s woman that works part time a couple of nights a week. she can waitress or bar tend. Six hours will bring her $250 to $300 on a good night. Now at Joe's Lunch Stop it may not be that good. The system may suck but it is well embedded and not easily changed. |

I think "embedded is the right term. During Calgary Stampede, sexy waitresses can make up to $2000 PER DAY in tips in the beer tents. |

She put in a couple hours a night 5 nights a week and was pulling in $350 a week. It doesn't sound like much but this was 1972, I had a summer job working in an alloy smelting plant where is was hot, noisy and very dangerous. I was making what was pretty damned good money $4.25 /hour..$170/week. |

For the diesel tractors besides the oil pan heaters I add anti gelling compound to the fuel in winter. I simply plug in the oil pan heaters an hour prior to starting, and I have no problem starting but I let the motor run until the gauge says fully warm. The only problem in cold weather are the hydraulics, I don't have a heated place for the tractors, so once started I let them idle for 15 minutes so the hydraulic fluid can circulate until it warms. It cost a whole lot less to buy a heat gun than a heated garage... the heat gun does a good job of heating the hydraulic transfer box, just that I need to be outside in frigid temperatures for some fifteen minutes waving the heat gun, it can get too hot... the heat gun cost about $25, a heated barn would cost about $100,000, plus heating fuel costs. I've been getting by some 20 years with the $25 heat gun. It costs a whole bunch less to get out there about 20 minutes earlier to get things going. Once diesel tractors are warm they can run forever regardless how cold it gets. I mostly need to warm the hydraulic fluid until the snow plow operates smoothly. If I needed a fleet of tractors I'd consider a heated barn, but we only have the two and in winter we only use one for plowing snow. I paid $47,000 for those two tractors nearly 20 years ago, today I can easily sell them used for twice what I paid. We couldn't live here without those tractors. |

Mostly she likes to bake sweet stuff. She has the chops to be a pastry chef but she's training to be a veterinary assistant. She has to work 150 hours at an animal clinic for a class. I think it's kind of lame that they won't be paying her. |
