Rain/snow is good for the fires and the river - right? But I really miss the sunshine. Here's the report.

The BEST - These are the places that scored perfect 100s. These places are really doing a good job at keeping their kitchens clean. The places that score a perfect 100 are really going all out to do things right and they deserve your support.

The WORST SCORERS: Now comes everyone's favorite part of the report - the list of Rotten Restaurants who scored worse than 85. I don't post any place that scores 85 or above even if they were the worst inspections for a particular week. 85 is a solid B and I don't want to shame them.

Abe Capanna's Detroit Pan Pizza and Italian (wh), Bend Score: 84 (11/8)

Timbers Bar And Grill (East), Bend Score: 84 (11/7)

Beach Hut Deli (f), Bend Score: 79 (11/4)

I'm going to stick these identifiers here so that when you see stuff like (mob) and (wh) you'll have some idea of what they are talking about. I'm not positive about all of these but they're probably pretty close. If you see anything I've missed or I guessed wrong please let me know.

e - fee exempt

mob - mobile

wh - warehouse

rp - recreational park

f - fixed position (a normal restaurant)

com - commissary

tf - traveler's accommodation

L - Limited Service

V - vending machines?

If you have time on your hands and want to check out the county inspection site here's the link - https://inspections.myhealthdepartment.com/or-deschutes-county

It's a very nice community resource. Kudos to the county for making it this .easy to check up on things.

That brings us to the end of another weekly report. Next week is Thanksgiving. You'll all probably be trippin' out on tryptophan. Hopefully I'll be back next Friday with the next batch of gut-wrenching adventures.

Till then I'll leave you with the ultimate groaner:

A guy goes to the doctor. Dr. asks him what's the problem.

He says "I can't get this damn song out of my head. It's driving me crazy".

Dr. asks what song is it?

Guy say "What's New Pussycat?"

Dr. says "Oh. That's easy. You have Tom Jones syndrome."

Guy says "Never heard of it Is it common?"

The Dr. says...........

"It's not unusual" (rimshot)
