The Dublin Irish Festival almost snuck by me this year… August 1 to 3, 2008. Next year starts on July 31, 2009.
Church (go Sunday for church and you get in for free)… Irish breakfast, lots of music including Gaelic Storm, Jen’s Ice Cream and lots of sunshine were the highlights of the day.
Wonder how the Whole Foods Market in Columbus is doing now?
A New York Times article says Whole Foods has a reputation for being high priced.
“Now, in a sign of the times, the company is offering deeper discounts, adding lower-priced store brands and emphasizing value in its advertising.”

The article is about a Philadelphia PA. Whole Foods Market store and the chain in general. The stores have a nickname “Whole Paycheck” based on their reputation in better times. Columbus based TNS Retail Forward is quoted in the article in the New York Times Business section saying there is a trend toward grocery shopping at discounters like Auldi in the current economy.
I have only shopped at the Columbus Whole Foods store a couple of times. Love the produce. Just looking at it is a treat. NYT article says you can buy beans and tofu at good prices at Whole Foods. I don’t eat tofu but beans are cheap at most stores.

The Franklin County Board of Health website has “Let’s Say No to the Mosquito.”
They’ve only found Mosquito’s with the West Nile virus in Prairie Township (far west Franklin County) and Dublin? So far? It says stay tuned to their website for fogging in other parts of the county. They sprayed Dublin previously? Sprayed the township in southwestern Franklin County on July 24th.
The Franklin County Board of Health website has a link to info about what you need to do to keep mosquitoes from breeding in your backyard.. no standing water…
I don’t get mosquito bites personally so I don’t worry about mosquitoes… except when I worry that maybe I do get bit by mosquitoes and just don’t get itchy bumps when mosquitoes bite me.
