Wine Glass ~ Thurs Nite Football ~ 360 Panoramas ~ Bill P ~ Dehydrated Cherry Tomatoes ~ POW/MIA Day



Good 52º morning. The rain did a small amount of help with the Onion Mountain fire, but it also kept the water dropping planes grounded. The fire is now 4000 acres with 8% contained.

I got myself a new wine glass.... Hi SOW Sistas....

 
Football last night was of no interest...


This is spectacular.. 360 air panoramas of the world's famous places. Awesome! You can open them in full screen.


 
Special birthday today of my friend, Bill Postmus (LASD ret). HEY Bill, HAVE A WONDERFUL HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Bill back in the 'good old days'

... and Bill with his pretty Connie.

He, like so many of those latenite show hosts thinks he's a comedic God. YUCK!






Yesterday I pulled stems and sliced in half a number of the red cherry tomatoes. An experiment. Tossed them with a little olive oil and sea salt. Then I put them in the dehydrator over night. They are teeny tiny now, but very tasty. I think I'll do something else with the rest of them...



Snack was a beautiful honey apple and honey peanut butter...

Mike, the pest control guy came by yesterday. The trap had caught another skunk and a squirrel. So far the score is Digger Squirrels 11 - Skunks 2.

All  I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

September 19th


POW/MIA Recognition Day is a day of remembrance and hope for the speedy and safe return of American Prisoners of War, and those still Missing in Action. It also seeks the return of the remains of fallen soldiers.
The first official commemoration of POW/MIAs was July 18, 1979. It was the result of resolutions passed in Congress. The first national ceremony was held on this date. Over the next several years, it was held in varying dates of the year. Finally, in 1986, The National League of Families proposed the third Friday in September as a day to recognize and remember POW/MIAs. This date was selected, as it is not associated with any wars. Each year, the president of the United States issues a proclamation on this day.
Did you know? Federal law requires the POW/MIA flag to be flown on the following days:
  • Armed Forces Day, May 16
  • Memorial Day, May 25
  • Flag Day, June 14
  • Independence Day, July 4
  • POW/MIA Day, 3rd Friday of September
  • Veterans Day, Nov. 11
You will also notice the POW/MIA flag flown at all US Post office buildings, Veterans Administration, military memorial facilities, and many U.S. government buildings.
Please take a few moments today, to remember our missing soldiers, and those held as prisoners of war. Attend a ceremony in your area. Say a prayer for POWs and MIAs. Also, write to your senators and congressman to urge continued and increased effort towards bringing every service man and woman home.

Oh my! That Panoramic website Is amazing! Just browsed through the Peterhof in St Petersburg - wow! Saved the url and will visit more sites.
Thanks for telling us it is MIA/POW day. Do you remember years ago for a donation you could get one of those bracelets? I got one of those, and I've often wondered what happened to my MIA who's plane was shot down in 1968. Well, just checked on the WEB and found him! He was released from Hanoi in March 1973 (except they called it 'repatriated'). Thanks for reminding us of what day this is.
Have a great day. Erika
