Google "cultivation of wild blueberries" - and if you
want to cut to the chase, add site:.gov to the search.

I have a line on hotel availability through a family and
friends rate that is closer to the $50, but if I'd taken
advantage last time, they would have been free (and the
Ritz-Carlton club floor a mere $100, which I did use).

There are those who don't cook as well as we do, and there are

I suppose, as this incident took place in a Delta plane, and
that airline is based in the pig-happy state of Georgia.

Probably not. At the Churchill Museum website, in what I refer
to as http://tinyurl.com/winnie-the-yank, you may find

 Winston Churchill was half American by birth - a fact of which
 he was deeply proud. In his first address to a joint session
 of the United States Congress, on 26 December 1941, he teased
 the assembled Senators and Representatives with the mischievous
 suggestion, "If my father had been American and my mother
 British, instead of the other way 'round, I might have got
 here on my own!"
