Good 48º smokey morning. Yesterday was a nice break. We're
back to health advisory for unhealthy air....
I couldn't believe we actually had blue sky and some clouds
visible yesterday!
The smoke did move in, but
and we topped at 85º.
My friend/hairdresser Leah posted this chair she wants on FB.
I told her that this was my next purchase...

1968 – Rachael Ray, American chef
and television personality
(....if only she could keep
her open palms in her pockets instead of waving them all over and in front of
her face when she's talking and brushing back her hair! But, I guess it's
impossible since she's Italian, but also she NEVER stops talking. Even
interrupting special guest (all guests!) Tom Selleck! She cooks great, but wish
she'd shut up and keep her hands DOWN! Also, she needs to quit saying (in
lyrical style) "I know.")
I was reading about the modifications that President Trump is doing to the
White House... some out of necessity.
(taken with my brownie camera in 1955, and one of those upstairs windows
President Eisenhower raised up and waved to us)
Mom and I waiting for the tour to begin...
Jackie Kennedy gave the White House the most extreme makeover, President
Truman added a bowling alley, FDR installed a swimming pool, President Nixon had
it covered to create a press briefing room, President Carter added solar panels.
What made me laugh, and not surprising, the White House during the Obama's
residence there, had been troubled by an infestation of flies. Really? I am

Here
are today’s five thing to know about Whiskey:
- Pure ‘malt’ whiskey is produced only from malted barley.
- After opening, a half-full bottle of whiskey will remain good for five years.
- A closed bottle of whisky can be kept for more than 100 years and it will still be good to drink.
- A whiskey stops maturing after it is bottled. It ‘ages’ in wooden barrels not glass.
- Around 90 percent of Single Malt Whisky comes from Scotland.
