I’d like to unveil my running mate… Christy Johnson, Governess of Orrville.

I just can’t figure out who she reminds me of, though . Hmmm

Many apologies for leaving the zesty unchecked for the better part of two months. The combination of soccer season, elections and a complete lack of motivation for anything zesty (including soaps that claim to make you ‘zestfully clean’) I let the chicken get a lil stale.

Alas, I have returned, more average than ever and ready to fill your every zesty need.
As election day approaches, do the right thing. Put Bryan Schaaf in the oval office.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State officials say Ohioans are spending more than ever on liquor.
The Ohio Division of Liquor Control says in the fiscal year that ended June 30, the state’s 440 contract liquor agencies had record sales of $697.7 million, about 4 percent more than the previous year.
The amount of booze sold rose 1.4 percent, to about 10.3 million gallons of what the state calls spirituous liquor, meaning liquor that’s more than 21 percent alcohol, or 42 proof.
Officials say liquor sales generated $167 million for the state’s general revenue fund and another $131 million that was earmarked for other uses.

Woman cuffed, booked for not paying library fines

By The Associated Press
GRAFTON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin woman has been arrested and booked for failing to pay her library fines.
Twenty-year-old Heidi Dalibor told the News Graphic in Cedarburg that she ignored the library’s calls and letters as well as a notice to appear in court.
Still, she was surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed.
Police Capt. Joe Gabrish says officers follow the same procedure with every warrant.
Library director John Hanson says a couple of dozen people are cited each year for failure to return materials or pay fines.
The incident cost Dalibor about $30 for the two overdue paperbacks. It cost her mother $172 to free her.
