You’ll like Saffron Road...just enough “kick” to it. Great idea about adding a bit of broth and fresh veggies. We are now in summer salad days. The farmer’s market and fresh sugar snap peas two weeks ago...the first harvest of the season. Were those good! Getting good cantaloupes now, too.

Very tough work but very good pay if you get the right gig.

Sikh flash mob dancing in London...this is a hoot. . I’d most certainly jump right in and give it a try.

My late mother was an RN. Many long years ago, long before she died I had warts on my neck. My mother was an Operating Room nurse at the local hospital in the town grew up in and she got friendly with one of the surgeons who was a Sikh. He removed the warts for no charge. Sikhs are indeed a good people. They have a history of fighting ‘’the good fight’’. In that regard they are a formidable fighting people.

I don’t want automation. Or self driving trucks. That is all.

You forgot (or left out) the fact that many, if not most, wannabe drivers can’t pass the piss test. I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. I audited a major trucking company here in PA that pulled out the names of 250 people sent to labs for testing. Only 15 passed in two years. It HAS to be worse now, 20 years later.

Sikhs are a true warrior class.

According to the American Trucking Assn., the trucker shortage could reach 100,000 within years.

Within about 10 years, driverless trucks and cars will soon decimate the need for drivers.

Yes, but did you read the article? Sikhs from India are coming in at the southern border, claiming asylum because of religious persecution (ridiculous) in India.

Sikhs are conservative like us and vote with us. You would like one as a neighbor. Sikhs are the best India has to offer.

Funny fact. Dream job for a Hindu Indiana is to own a HOJO. For a Sikh it is to be a proctologist.

I just finished watching “21 Sarfarosh - Saragarhi 1897”. It’s available on Netflix and Youtube. It is based on the real life Battle of Saragarhi, fought between 21 Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and 10,000 Muslim Pashtun Orakzai tribesmen.

If the Sikhs of today are anything like the Sikhs of yesteryear, I would welcome them into my neighborhood.

Thanks, Alice in Wonderland. I clicked on the link, saw that it was less than 24 minutes long and thought, this will be short time well spent. Turns out this was the first of 65 episodes. Now I’m into episode 3. Only 62 more to go. Sigh. So much to learn, so little time. God bless you and your family.

Americans should be doing these jobs. I know that Sikhs do many things right when they come here, but our nation needs to have American citizens doing these jobs.

Thomas Jefferson commented that merchants respect no borders. Americans want to buy junk cheaply, forgoing quality and supporting their own Nation. Welcome to “The End”.

Nope. They're still foreign.

What part of "...and our posterity" from the Constitution (not India's posterity) don't you understand?
