Chili and Fire Dancing Highlight Chilly Day

      It was a respite from a bitter Groundhog Day today as folks crowded the State Office Building for the annual Chili Cookoff sponsored by the Volunteer Transportation Center.

        Amidst all the food was also an interesting stage act. Local fire dancers called FireMagick were performing. They couldn't actually light up today as last weeks Brazilian nightclub fire made officials skittish. Actually what they do is not at all the same but maybe its just as well.

     In any event the chili smelled good and it was definately appreciated on such a chilly day.
      Today the groundhog did not see his shadow, signalling an early spring...Didn't seem like the rodent has his mojo today as the forecast is anything but.

The helicoter raid by black-ops was called off. The chili was deemed of proper temperature. It's ok for government types to do something like this, but if you're a church, don't even think about it.

It seems only to be common place practice to make sure the food is hot enough to serve. So following the standards allows everyone to have a cook off too. Why question public safety?

I met Pixie at a private event in Jefferson County last Summer on a warm clear night. She had more face piercings then. Fire dancing is quite entertaining.

NY69inAnass, I think piercings are given out Free by the Obamba administration.
