Good 55º cloudy morning. Pressure is dropping. No radar
overhead. No rain predictions for today.
10-30 radio code "transmission does not conform to regulations". Hmmmmmm,
Jerry nicknamed his best buddy and radio car partner "10-30 Dude" ... LOL. Steve
(Voors, LASD ret), did you not conform to regulations?
Throw Back Thursday.... here's an ancient one of me... brown shirt, brown
pants, brown sox, brown truck!
World Series Game #7 last night, the SF Giants beat the KC Royals winning
3-2 and taking the World Series for the 3rd time in 5 years. Honestly, I'd like
to have seen the Royals win it!
Got this from Gar Austin (LASD ret) ... 2 minutes of scenery
and animals that will put a smile on your face. Thanks Gar!!!
Yesterday John and
Rusty were back bright and early working on the barn door. John was a Marine and
he rides a Harley! Cool. He and his wife have moved down here from Montana. Had
enough of the -30º and since she grew up in Roseberg, they chose Southern
Oregon... a few months ago. Here is the framing progress... I told them to pose
and they laughed, saying it looks like they aren't doing anything... just
standing around. Not. They work! The old sliding barn door on the right and the
new one will be quite a bit smaller.
And yes, the barn
needs a paint job. That's next.
Bruiser was being
nosey checking on Rusty and John... until I called him and he came
running...
The fire is almost
out... still smokey though even though there was rain in the night and on and
off sprinkles all day.
Historically this
date....
1938 – Orson Welles broadcasts his radio play of H. G. Wells's The War of the
Worlds, causing anxiety in some of the audience in the United States.
1965 – Vietnam War: Just miles from Da Nang, United States Marines repel an intense attack by wave after wave
of Viet Cong forces, killing 56 guerrillas. Among the
dead, a sketch of Marine positions is found on the body of a 13-year-old Vietnamese boy who sold drinks to the Marines the day
before.
And births this date
include...
1893 – Charles Atlas, Italian-born bodybuilder (d.
1972)
Charles in his youth and at 79 years
old.
1945 – Henry Winkler, American actor
1946 – Robert L. Gibson, American astronaut
1951 – Harry Hamlin, American actor
Interesting...
Hamlin’s first book is entitled Full Frontal Nudity and is an uproarious memoir about growing up in 1960s suburban California in a regular American family. His mother, a housewife, who frequently indulged in one too many martinis and his father, a rocket scientist, gifted their 11-year-old son with a five-year subscription to Playboy for Christmas.
When Hamlin arrived at Berkeley in the fall of 1969, he was ready to fully immerse himself in architecture, but fate got in the way and ultimately he was expelled only to end up a graduate of Yale, a Rhodes scholar, and the lead in a little play called Equus, which required full frontal nudity.

Later I tried to
make a video of Dude. I did, but when I tried to download it to Youtube it
wouldn't work! Dang. So, here is Dude (tongue out licking his face!) and he's
being watched by Bruiser...
Dinner was reruns.
Spent some time working on a deviled egg project for Brian and Jen's Halloween
party. Pictures later...
Mike from All
Natural was up yesterday and picked up a couple of the traps. One had a skunk in
it ... again. Sadly he had to be dispatched. Stinky too!!!
All I know. Nuff
said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

(Stick the candy
corn in a piece of banana......)
National
Candy Corn Day is today. Enjoy a
handful of this sweet Fall treat. And, what perfect timing. National Candy Corn Day comes just a day before Halloween. That
means you can eat plenty of it, before you go out Trick or Treating.
Candy
corn is enjoyed all year long. Place it in a candy dish any time of the year,
and watch it disappear by the handful. By far, the vast majority of candy corn
is consumed during the Fall months, with both Halloween and Thanksgiving being
the biggest times to eat it.
Candy
corn was invented in the 1880s by George Renninger, and first manufactured by
the Wunderle Candy Company. The Goelitz Candy company was the first to
manufacture mass quantities around the turn of the century.
Candy
corn consists primarily of corn syrup, honey, and sugar. There's lots of
carbs(sugar), but it's fat free!?
Have
a happy National Candy Corn Day.

I am jealous of your barn door, burn pile and rain- in a good way. To simple pleasures- served with candy corn. That's the way to live.
Are you making those delived eggs with the black olives? Hope so. Looking fwd to seeing them.
LOL Every time I read "Rusty and John" I chuckle. I think of John and his sister, Rusty. :)
What a project with that barn door. Wow! It's always something for a home owner and even more when you own a huge barn!
Enjoyed the story of Harry Hamlin. Amazing! To think he has all those smarts and chose acting! :)
Good blog as always!
