General Mills Is Always Doing Something Nice For The Hawthorne Neighborhood

Photo By John Hoff

The Hawthorne Neighborhood gets a lot of support, small and large, from General Mills, makers of fine food products such as Wheaties. Recently, somebody from the company came by the office of the Hawthorne Neighborhood Association and dropped off a big bag full of...

..."Matchbox" race cars. Anybody who wanted some of the cars for their child could just reach in and take a few. So, I gave set of four cars to my little relative, above, and explained to his mom why it is General Mills gives our neighborhood association little cars that say, among other things, "Wheaties" and "Pop Secret."

"Support the spunky Hawthorne Neighborhood," I told her. "BUY MORE WHEATIES."

He's Sort Of A New Year's Baby

Actually, I had planned for this post to be my first of the New Year, so it would feature a "New Year's Baby." Yeah, that was my little plan to be clever.

But fate, fortune, destiny and incredible luck intervened when A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HAWTHORNE NEIGHBORHOOD WON THE NEW YEAR'S EVE MEAT RAFFLE AT THE NOMAD WORLD PUB!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (Click here, or see previous post)

Who could have known? Who could have DREAMED such a thing? And, this morning, Jeff Skrenes reports he isn't even feeling ill, despite the fact we chowed down on some sausages which, the truth be told, could have been cooked a little more completely on that patio camp fire.

But when the outside is burned, you just start to think...surely the INSIDE is cooked by now!

Has to be. Just has to be. CHOMP!!!!
