Good 41º raining pouring morning. So far since yesterday looks as if we got 1 3/4" rain. More on the coast and in some other areas, but that's a lot for us in a 24 hour period.
On my blog last January 18th I have pictures of our Rogue River over the banks. Lots and lots of rain. This year, hardly any so far! But we're workin' on it!
Yesterday our summit was socked in... no travel....
And today......................

This is funny..... my friend Dee Yellin sent this after I posted that yesterday was Peking Duck Day....
CHICKEN SURPRISE
A couple goes for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and orders Chicken Surprise. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. "Good grief, did you see that?", she asks her husband. He hadn't , so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation. "Please sir", says the waiter, "What you order?". The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise".
(You're
going
to
hate
yourself
for
loving
this!............................)
"Ah! So sorry", says the waiter. "I bring
you Peeking Duck"!

My former mother-in-law (Kristen's and Brian's "Nana") Evelyn Pendleton died on this date in 1999. As it turns out it was her husband, ("Papa") George's birthday. Fortunately for Papa he had already blazed the trail to Heaven before Nana so he wasn't sad on his birthday!
The world lost another one of the good guys. Deputy Don Dunlop passed away early today. He was a friend, a fellow Deputy, a mentor to a lot, a super guy! RIP Don!!! I know Jerry and Captain Jack and Deputy Billy are there in Heaven to show you the ropes, share stories, and let you know how much you were cared about. Love and hugs to Bonnie. Donnie and Bonnie.. ♥ ♥.. shared a great love.
Today is also the wedding anniversary of Sandy's baby sister (lol) Babette and her husband Jim. Happy 26th Anniversary kids!
You can now click on the links from Wikipedia today. If there were links yesterday that you needed to view, you can go back... (BTW, I did my blogs and gathered Wiki info on Tuesday!)
Historically this date...
Prior to that men wore:
1953 – 68% of all television sets in the United States are tuned in to I Love Lucy to watch Lucy give birth.
1977 – Snow falls in Miami, Florida. This is the only time in the history of the city that snow has fallen. It also fell in the Bahamas.
And births this date include....
GAG!
Phoney Southern accent and a pig when it comes to eating on TV with such huge bites AND then talking with her big fat mouth full! .... what an oinker!
All I know. Pulmonary test for me today. Also Costco. I have 40 pairs of Levis (Jerry's) that I need to do something with. A pawn shop in Medford has a sign that they "Buy Levis" so stopping in there also today and inquire as to their "Levi criteria". Happy Thursday. Ciao.
