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

My friend/hairdresser Leah posted this chair she wants on FB.
I told her that this was my next purchase...

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.")

White House... some out of necessity.
(taken with my brownie camera in 1955, and one of those upstairs windows

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.
