Good 56º deathly smokey morning! We have a chance of
thunderstorms on the way. The pressure dropped last night but it's going up as
we speak. The smoke yesterday afternoon....
...and it was 97º. Today is supposed to be hotter... ugh.
Yesterday my plumber friend, Mike Artoff, was here. He put a
new faucet on outside. It was old and leaking. He also fixed the leak in the
kitchen sink. Thanks Mike!
(Mike with his dad a few years back...)
Later in the afternoon Jake Wardel, electrician, was here. He took the
light down off the tree in front so Chris can come back and take down the tree.
Jake will be back and install a pole for the light. Having one in the front
yard keeps the bears away!! Besides I can see what's out there! Like a street
light, sort of. There is one on each end of the barn and up at the pump house.
They come on automatically when it gets dark and off when it's light.
Historically this date..
1930 – Judge Joseph Force Crater
steps into a taxi in New York and disappears
never to be seen again.
....interesting story....
1945 – World War II: Hiroshima, Japan is devastated
when the atomic bomb "Little Boy" is dropped by the
United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 70,000
people are killed instantly, and some tens of thousands die in subsequent years
from burns and radiation
poisoning.
And births this date include...
This came from Tally Huntoon (Wife of Spencer LACOFD ret,
Wilson High W'63) ... fascinating.... How hummingbirds eat...
Last night dinner was stirfry. I like the fake crab (I know Gator, the real
thing is better, but this is a good price and tastes good!). I sauteéd the
mushrooms with some green peppers (from Jeannie's garden), added the crab with a
diced tomato (seeds and liquid center removed) ... added in the noodles and
sauce mix. YUMMMMMM!!!!!
Today it's an eye doctor appointment. I think I need an
upgrade on my glasses. We'll see what the doc says. Besides I need to get my
driving glass repaired, as Dude decided to chew on the temple on one side.
Sigh...
All I know. Happy Tuesday. Nuff said. Ciao.
