Good 43º clear sunny Saturday
morning....
"Where's my coffee?"
The moon last night at 9pm...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's another funny from George B.....
O'Hare Approach Control to a 747:"United
329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles,
Eastbound."
United 329: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this...I've got the little Fokker in sight."
I had a bunch of books that were Jerry's. I sent
out a notice if anyone was interested...military history stuff and western
books. Two people wanted them. I told them postage only for payment.... Well,
'Gator', an email friend in Florida, who was in Navy Intelligence, wanted most
of them. I mailed them off and he, in return, (how nice is this!) sent me the
postage + (extra is for "you and Brian to have a beer"!) and three USMC hats!
He said the camo desert hat was for me when I mow!! LOL. I will be so cool! One
USMC hat for me and the 'Once A Marine ...' hat for Brian. Gator, I'm sure Jerry
is smiling. Thanks! xo
So........ the Bruise decided to go on one of his
junkets. Left on Thursday morning about 10:30 am. Didn't come home all night. I
worried, as usual, and was miserable. He showed up at 12:30pm yesterday. I get
so elated when he returns. He seems genuinely happy, but WHY does he leave to
begin with?? I know he was tired... he slept all the rest of the day.... on top
of my desk and hand purring like mad...
and then on the hats! Nut case.
I have seen this before and it's a RIOT! Came this time
from Mike Afentakis (former LE, dad owns NAPA in RR) ...... Our paperless
future? I laughed out loud!!!
Today is a special birthday... Tammy Hyman... mother of
Sideways (aka Mr. Big Stuff) and Jaco. Wife of the awesome guitarist Gary! HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TAMMY!!!!
PJ found Mr. Big Stuff (my name for him) on the side of
the freeway. I helped her rescue him and brought him here. I was about to have
back surgery and really didn't need to take on another dog (had Maggie and Yukon
at the time). Tammy saw his picture and said she and Gary wanted him. I took him
half way (they live in Modesto) to Redding and they 'adopted' him! What a great
home he has!!!
Historically this date....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.......Just to take a break from history... here's a
George B funny in regards to Germany...
A
Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich , overheard the
following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in
English): "If you
want an answer you must speak in
English."
Lufthansa (in
English): "I am a
German, flying a German airplane, in Germany . Why must I speak
English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent):"Because you lost the bloody war!"

As big as
possibleOn this June full moon, the Moon will be closer to the
Earth than any time this year. This is why the term "supermoon" is used, which
is a little exaggerated, though. Here you find more
information:www.fullmoon.info/en/blog/supermoon.html
I printed this recipe a couple of years ago, but it's so
good and a great summer favorite of mine....
Jerry loved it too and asked for it often. It came from
the Frugal Gourmet TV Show in 1993.
Read his story. Weird. Didn't know this stuff about Jeff Smith.
