Good 42º supposed to be foggy and cloudy today.

If man evolved
from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
It appears that part of the Great Wall of China
is losing a battle with Mother Nature...
I have put a glass with red wine in it, like the
suggestion on my blog on October 7th, and it is working for me too. 6 little
drunken dead fruit flies in the bottom.... LOOK, there's one now heading
in....
This photo was posted on: http://twistedsifter.com/2013/10/pigeon-overlooking-new-york/ with the title "The City Is Mine"!
I took a similar photo of a pigeon, also on the
Empire State Building...
and then he turned and looked at
me....
Gawd, I LOVED NY!!! Such a fun city. AND
surprisingly, nice people~!!! Friendlier than LA!!!! Imagine
that. Thanks to my friend Joan Petit-Clair for such a great tour! I wanna go back!
Historically this date...

Squids, this is your day!
1962 – The

a

Copiapó mining accident in Copiapó, Chile comes to an end as

... if
you are in Masonry or are related to a Mason, this article about Jaques might be
of interest to you. My Father, Leslie Laney, was a Past Master, 32º Mason of El
Sereno Lodge 588 ... My Mother Margaret was in Eastern Star. I was a Job's Daughter in Bethel 103 (which has moved to
Mountain View, CA from El Sereno) , my son Brian is a Mason in Grants Pass Lodge
#84, and was the Master Councilor in the Lexington Lodge #104 DeMolay in El
Monte.

of my pal Trish's favorites....
I don't think I could be happy with the initials "PP" !
Yesterday afternoon Dude and I took a ride/run (I ride in the golf
cart, he runs) to the mailbox... just before it rained. Surprising, as the
weather persons said, "30% chance". LOL We got 1/4"!
About 4pm Tim and Rick White of White's Tree Service
(541-973-5155) came by and ground up the stump in the front yard.
YEAH!
The electrical wire (disconnected) is still there from the light on the
tree. Jake said he'd take care of it.
Last
night dinner was my favorite scallop dinner, with a twist.
Olive
oil
1 T.
capers, drained
sea
scallops
pickled asparagus spears
mushrooms
1/2
cup lemon juice
3-4
pats butter
shallots (dried or
fresh)
The
original recipe calls for canned in water quartered artichoke hearts... I didn't
have any so used the pickled asparagus spears and mushrooms instead. If using
dried shallots, reconstitute in a little water. Heat pan and sauté artichoke
hearts or asparagus and/or the mushrooms. Toss and heat through. Add in capers and shallots. Set aside. Wipe out pan.
In another pan I sauteéd some cut up baby squash with Asian
seasoning.
Dry and season
the scallops with salt and pepper, add olive oil to cleaned pan, heat very hot
and sear scallops in single layer .. 2 minutes each side.
Add lemon juice and
butter. Add the vegetables and capers to the pan and heat through.
When plating spoon
the butter/lemon sauce over the scallops.
AWESOMLY GOOD! Was
surprised how good the pickled asparagus was. With that and the capers, no need
for salt.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

International Skeptics Day
(it says... "Calmly, patiently listening to what others have to say, and recognize when they're feeding you a line of shit.")
International Skeptics Day is the perfect day for you...the "doubting
Thomas".
Perhaps the earth isn't really round!? Maybe, the sky isn't truly blue!? Does
he(she) really love me!? ........These are the words and questions of the
classical skeptic.
By definition, a skeptic is a person who questions or doubts facts and
theories. He, or she, is a mis-believer. A skeptic does not accept the "Given".
If you are inclined to doubt things that you see or hear, then International
Skeptics Day is for you.
If you practice a little, I'm sure we can make a good skeptic out of you. Go
ahead, give it a try. And, what better day to practice skepticism, than
International Skeptics Day?
