Were you right about the blonde???

Yesterday I finished my taxes! Yeah! Now to mail them off.

Later dinner was reruns. Chair, wine, and Blue Bloods (natch) and an interesting 30 minutes show about Porsches ... from their inception to today...Barry Perrou (LASD ret) told me about the show so I found it and recorded it. 

This car amazed everyone. Was phenomenal on the race track! Boy did I love driving mine on winding roads.

Ok, stand by, today is one of California's 4 seasons.... 
1. Fires 

2. Floods


3. Riots 


4. Oscars

I don't give a ---- so won't be watching! They all remind me of that song from West Side Story... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye7PIyIcCro


All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

National Pistachio Day is a nutty day. (How apropos today would be the Hollyweird Oscars!!!) You can celebrate National Pistachio Day by eating them, and learning more about them. We're going to help with the learning part........ read on.
Nutty Pistachio Facts:
Pistachios grow on trees. They are native to the Middle East.
Its a long wait to get the first nut. A pistachio tree takes 7-10 years to mature.
California is the major producer in the U.S.
Pistachios are harvested in September by machines that shake the trees. It less than a minute.
Its open hull is unique. The nut is ripe when the hull splits open.
People in the Middle East call it the "smiling nut" and in China its called the "happy nut".
Pistachios are nutritious, so eat them up!
Celebrate today by eating Pistachios. They are great plain as a snack, in ice cream, and in a wide range of desserts.
