Very interesting about the fraudulent olive oil, I had no idea that this was so common, but it’s nice to know we have officers on the case!

I guess we’re just going to have to stick to local producers of olive oil. Good thing California has a lot of olive oil makers!

Stylin’ indeed. I was always impressed with how stylish all things in Italia seemed to be!

What an amazing face she has! I hope that I’m just as cheeky when/if I get to be her age.

1. She’s waited this long for true love? He better be worth it! I hope she finds him soon. How incredible!

2. Fraudulent oil? Are you serious? So… that’s kind of like snake oil salesman over here, isn’t it?
… and, uh… chlorophyll? Are you serious? YIKES. Are there any brands that you think are particularly good? Maybe I can find them here, because I use olive oil a lot.

3. I am -SO…VERY…- jealous… of the car, not the cops. Maybe I should join the Italian police force so that I can drive that car. Hmm.

;o)

Love it, I mean really where else are you going to have that variety of exciting and not so common news. I can’t recall seeing a Lamborghini on the streets of New Jersey chasing after anyone or the food police checking my oil quality. In the states, you’re on your own when it comes to food quality. Its safe to say..your news variety is better Michelle. So fun.

Glad you enjoyed Margie; I love these kind of news stories…much better than always seeing the bad stuff that unfortunately is all around us

For some reason I recall that Lamborghini story from a few years back, I know they had (or still have) one for the A3 highway from Salerno to Reggio…
Anyway, the story about Maria is too cute and actually refreshing to read! Thanks for the updates. Not much interesting news happening in Beantown :-/

Carla, I remember that story too–for a few years the police have been using a Lamborghini that was seized through arrests, but this story is a bit different, with the car donated by the company (the first, of course, was “donated” by a criminal)

Hey. Hmm, whats new?

Just home from trip to Montreal and Quebec City. And believe it or not we saw not one, but two of those Lamborghini’s in Montreal. C was drooling of course.

The car is fab.

Maria turned down several proposals? Maybe she just doesn’t want to get married.

Yeah I think you and Judith are onto something; clearly she isn’t interested in marrying…although I’m sure she wouldn’t mind a companion at this point.
