Good 42º cloudy morning.
Breakfast was plain low fat yogurt, tomatoes,
sprinkled with bacon salt, and celery.
Yesterday the gloom lasted all day and we warmed
to 63º by afternoon. No sun, like Adam the weatherman predicted. Supposed to
stay cloudy and possibly rain again on Friday.
I had a doc appointment in Medford. Did that and
then a blood test. And then Costco. Got some great stuff.... and lobster tails
on sale. Didn't get home until about 5pm and was exhausted. So happy when I got
everything unloaded and it was "time for wine".
A text from Kristen re her latest scan .... the
doc said the pain she was feeling was from scar tissue from the tube inserted
between her ribs when they drained the lung. No fluid build up in the lung now.
WHEW!!!!!!!
In Rogue River the power company will turn off
the power to the downtown area on Friday night (some said about midnight) and
remove an osprey nest. I had not ever noticed it before... so here it is... just
after you come off the northbound off ramp, straight ahead.. see, just to the
left of the billboard sign...
Apparently no osprey are nesting in it right now.
Historically this date
1863 – Arizona is organized as a United States
territory.
My aunt was
born in 1907 in Cananea Mexico when my grandfather was working down there. Later
she could have said she was born in Arizona, since it was a Territory and they
didn't start keeping birth records until 1912. But, she was honest and became a
'naturalized citizen' in later years, but did grow up in Arizona in Bisbee. My
grandparents were still Scottish citizens, not American. He was a mining
engineer for the Lavender Pitt copper mine.
1942 – The Battle of Los
Angeles, one of the largest documented UFO sightings in history;
the event lasted into the early hours of February 26, 1942.

February 24th
National Corn Chip Day
Who knew there were this many kinds of
Fritos:
Today is a holiday with a crunch. One might even
suggest that it is a corny holiday. Well, that's okay because today is National
Tortilla Chip Day. Just a few decades ago, Americans seldom ate Corn Chips and
Salsa. It's popularity has grown immensely. Today is a tribute to that rising
popularity of one of America's favorite munchies.
Did you know? The corn chip recipe was brought to the U.S.
from Mexico by texas businessman Elmer Doolin.
Celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day with a
handful of crunchy, tasty corn chips and your favorite salsa or
dip.
