Refund?
I bought a box of peaches at COSTCO the other day and they have gone bad before ripening. I will ask for a refund at COSTCO and am quite sure they will return my money.
But, given the time, trouble, frustration and general inconvenience - not to mention the need to make a substitute purchase - is a refund good enough? Don't they owe me more than that?

"Told to Eat Its Vegetables, America Orders Fries" - NYTimes.com
Where are the links in or next to this story that empower us readers to "do" something after reading this? I don't see any at all, and I believe The New York Times should be quite embarrassed by this.....

"The Whole Truthiness and Nothing But" - NYTimes.com
I say bravo to COLBERT. Our system of government is based on the notion of debate and discussion and the very process of talking about both the issues and his appearance advances this issue considerably. We should be paying much more attention to this very subject here in NC. Spend a day on the farm as he did; we could all learn so much from doing so. Volunteer if necessary, but get the experience. After you/we do, then that's the time to offer a more informed opinion. But, go ahead, make use of the system even now and express yourself!

Peaches
I have noticed in a number of stores - Kroger and Fresh Market, for example - that they have had local peaches for .98/pound recently. The options all start at 2.49 or higher. The local ones, from SC mostly, are wonderful. Why would anyone pay the higher price?

"Va. Woman Devours 181 Chicken Wings in NY Contest" - NYTimes.com
I sure hope we never do anything like this in North Carolina!
"Taming the Wild Tuna" - NYTimes.com
I wonder how much tuna gets consumed in North Carolina each year?
"Around the Grill - Readers’ Barbecue Recipes" - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com
Why not do one of these for recipes just from North Carolina? Ask for submissions here, and then present the photos and recipes in an edited and organized way, searchable by geography, ingredients, etc. Let the cooks of NC show us their very best!
