Good 34ยบ dark gloomy cloudy foggy morning. COME ON...........
I want some SUN!!!!!
Yesterday's gloom:
Yesterday was errand day. I was going to wait until today, but wanted to
get it over with. Post office for package and mailing envelopes
.... vets for dog dental kibble
, Ace for cracked corn
,
3 Rivers Hospital lab for blood test
, and Safeway for groceries
. So exciting. Oh, and also gas station for liquid
push....
I just can't believe it's the end of the year. Whoppppen?????
Zoom!
For tomorrow night I have my TV set to record the 9pm (west
coast time) ball drop in Times Square NY for the midnight thingy.

That is just in case staying up til 9:pm is too tough! LOL.
Then Monday morning I have the Rose Parade ready to record.
Yes, Monday. A tradition of the Rose Parade (and Rose Bowl
Game) has been "never on Sunday" as when it was established back in 1893,
concerns that commotion from the event could frighten horses hitched outside of
Pasadena churches. Not the issue these days, but tradition is tradition! So mark
your calendars for January 2nd. https://www.tournamentofroses.com/
Tomorrow I will list the NFL games being played on Sunday.

December 30th
National Bicarbonate of Soda Day, or Baking Soda Day, celebrates the many
benefits and uses of Bicarbonate of Soda.
Just how does Baking Soda work and what, specifically, does it do? Few
people seem to know. It's quite simple. We will skip the chemistry lesson and
how Baking Soda is made. Let's just talk to what it is, and what it does.
Bicarbonate of soda is a chemical compound - sodium carbonate or sodium
bi-carbonate. When heated, it creates carbon dioxide, a gas. The gas aids a
variety of bakery products to rise as they cook.
Many people just think of Bicarbonate of Soda as something you use for
baking. But, it has so many more uses. Here are just a few of them:
Baking- helps baked goods, like bread, to rise
Relieve stomach indigestion and heartburn when mixed in water
Removing odors in the refrigerator, vents, storage areas, and closets
Removing odor in kitty litter
It is used in fire extinguishers for grease and oil fires
It is often used as a cleaning agent
It can be used as a meat tenderizer
Put it in water with beans to minimize flatulance from eating beans
Polish Silverware
Remove burned food from a pot or a pan
And, the list goes on, and on,
and......
