   President Obama spoke about 12 bones today on television, (02/13/213), We will be coming your way soon to give 12 bones a try.

   maybe more time and attention spent on side items would benefit–also the ribs have been tasting frozen and dried out… just a thought

   “Contrary to rumors” that were probably most broadly disseminated by your blog post and tweets, right?

   Would it really kill you to make a couple of phone calls before you ran posts like this in the first place?

   Also, generally accepted blogging practice seems to be to leave the original post “as is” and add the “UPDATE” as a marked off note either before or after the original text. That way whatever it was you said originally doesn’t just get washed down the memory hole . . .

      Standard MO of this blog:

      1. start rumor
      2. get people to view/post to drive the ad revenue
      3. profit
      4. renege on the rumor
      5. get more people to view/post
      6. profit more

      I don’t really care that much either way (because I’ve been conditioned to take this blog with a grain of salt) but it certainly would be nice if there was even a shred of credibility lent to it.

   I know Sabra and Tom have been working their a$$es off and deserve to get back to basics. Sabra, come back and volunteer for the Botanical Gardens, we can always use a great plant IDer.

   I certainly hope this doesn’t affect the food or service at 12 Bones. But hey, maybe the new owners will pave that teeth-rattling, suspension-testing parking lot.
