In all fairness regard'n The Olive Garden flap.













After posting my article on this blog and sending both a copy of the post and a scathing letter regarding my feelings concerning the flap over the American flag issue, I just received this letter from the CEO of Olive Garden.

"Dear Gene:


We are very sorry for any misunderstanding about this issue. We do not have a policy at Olive Garden concerning bringing the American flag into our restaurants. Some members of our team were misinformed about company policy by our corporate office. As a company we take responsibility for that and we regret it. We take pride in how we communicate to our restaurants and we are correcting this so it doesn’t happen again. Like all Americans we have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the American flag and everything it symbolizes. In fact, we periodically provide American flag collar pins to our employees to wear while serving guests. We welcome anyone who wishes to bring the flag into our restaurants.


Sincerely,


John Caron
President, Olive Garden"

We'll see John, we'll see...........

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our OIL is located in:
