I posted this last year, but it's funny so here it is again:
From Dan
in Texas:
A recent
study found that the average American
walks
about 900 miles a year.
Another
study found that the average American
drinks
about 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That
means the average American gets about
41 miles
to a gallon! Makes you damned proud to
be an
American.
Two ultra super people are celebrating birthdays today...

In the Northern Hemisphere,
meteorological Autumn starts on 20 September. In
the Southern Hemisphere,

date.
1881 – Chester A. Arthur is
inaugurated as the 21st President of
the United States following the assassination of James Garfield.
1973 – Billie Jean King beats
Bobby Riggs in The Battle
of the Sexes tennis match at the Houston Astrodome in
Houston, Texas.
.... silly. they are the same sex!
Riggs was diagnosed with prostate
cancer in 1988. He founded the Bobby Riggs Tennis Museum
Foundation to increase awareness of the disease. Riggs died of cancer October
25, 1995, in Encinitas, California, aged 77.
In his final days, Riggs maintained friendly contact with
Billie Jean
King, and King phoned him often. She called him shortly
before his death, offering to visit him, but he did not want her to see him in
his condition. She phoned him one last time, the night before his death and,
according to Billie Jean herself in an HBO
documentary about her, the last thing she told Riggs was "I love
you." (Interview with Billie Jean King, USA US Open
telecast, August 28, 2006)

And births this date include....
Yesterday was kitchen projects day. First, JoAnn had given me a bag of
pears. So I cut them up and cored them and put them in jars and filled the jars
with vodka. They will sit and infuse for about 2 weeks. At the end of a week I
will add a cinnamon stick to a couple of the jars. Will give them a taste test
and let you know...
Then I dove into the 10 pounds of tomatoes Jeannie and Bill gave me...
cored, cut, cooked, strained, and added basil, onion, garlic, loads of
mushrooms, and a couple cups (comes in little boxes) of Cucina & Amore
super yummy 'made in Italy' with Greek Kalamata
olives, Italian green olives, capers, and parsley marinara sauce.. just for
added flavor ... and canned the sauce.....
All I know. Happy Thursday. Gotta wrap Tucker's birthday presents!
Ciao.

I'm lost. The battle of the sexes in 1973 tennis match King is female and Riggs is male. Her sports record is as a female. Her passion was parity in pay for her gender, female. Following an ex-lover suing her, she admitted the affair and later officially came out of the closet, but she never changed her gender ID from female to anything else.
L, come on.... out of all that on the blog you pick on me??? I was polking fun. Geeze....
Sue, I understood the joke! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCKER!! He has always been such a handsome boy! A beautiful baby!
In that picture of Jerry and Steve I had to look at it for a long time to decide which one was which! They could be brothers they look so much alike! Don't you think so?
Oh you lucky girl with all those gorgeous tomatoes!! Looks like a lot of work. Does your back start hurting with all that kitchen work? YUM YUM tho!!
Ahhhh I see it's National Punch Day! I WAS going to make a Margarita punch for the bridal shower but in the end I thought I wouldn't experiment on all those ladies so I stuck with my old stand by which everyone loves! Southern Comfort punch! YUM!!
