Dinner last night, since it was stuffed mushroom day, I had stuffed mushrooms along with an Omaha Steaks breaded veal cutlet and some veggies!




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

National Weatherman's Day

Date When Celebrated : Always February 5

National Weatherman's Day honors weathermen, and woman who work hard to accurately predict the often fickle weather. Despite major technological advances and supercomputers, forecasting the weather is still a tricky, and ever changing business.
Knowing the weather is important in so many ways. It affect how we dress, where we go, and even if we go. Space launches are made or delayed depending upon the weather. And, knowing the weather can save lives. The most obvious example is knowing when and where hurricanes or tornados may hit.
According to the Air Force News, Weatherman's Day "commemorates the birth of John Jeffries, one of America's first weathermen". Jeffries was born on Feb 5, 1744. He kept weather records from 1774 to 1816.
If you see a weatherman today, give them your appreciation for a job well done.


My favorite "weather people" are on KOBI TV Channel 5 here in So Oregon/Northern Cal.....
