Good 36º raining morning.
Yesterday.....
The snow started coming down about 15 minutes after Jeannie emailed me it
was snowing in Grants Pass. That was about 8:20 am. Snowed for a while. Stuck to
the ground and then melted off. Temps got to 36º (heat wave!)
Saw this on FB and also sent to me by Dan Patz (LASD ret) .... funny!
This is my Holiday Workout.....
Historically this date.....
1773 – American Revolution:
Boston Tea Party –

disguised as Mohawks dump crates of tea into
Boston harbor as a protest
against the Tea Act.
1811 – The first two in
a series of four severe earthquakes occur in the
vicinity of New Madrid,
Missouri. These four so-called mega-quakes are believed to be an ongoing
cataclysmic danger that could reprise the 1811-12 series of 2,000 quakes that
affected the lands of what would be eight of today's heartland
states of the United States.
1985 – Mafia: In New York City, Paul Castellano and Thomas Bilotti are shot
dead on the orders of John Gotti, who assumes
leadership of the Gambino family.
1997 – An episode of Pokémon, "Dennō Senshi
Porygon", aired in Japan induces seizures in 685 Japanese children.

Gadz, another shooting (without any injuries) at Fashion Island Mall in
Newport Beach, Ca. And one in Alabama at a hospital where a suspect opened fire
on police. Another incident earlier in the same area left 3 people dead. A 18
year old in Oklahoma was arrested for plotting to shoot students at his high
school. Good Lord. This needs to stop!
All I know. My "Patsys and Jeannie's 40Whiners" (Thanks Jim Harper!) are

seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound rotini, twist, or spiral
pasta

In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, bell pepper, and garlic over
medium heat until no pink remains in sausage, stirring to crumble the sausage.
Reduce the heat to low and add tomatoes, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and chili
powder; simmer 10 minutes, or until heated through.
Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse, and
drain again. Place on a large serving platter
Pour sauce over pasta and top with mozzarella cheese. Serve
