Good 30º everything out there frozen morning clear
morning.
Stayed cold and windy all day yesterday and we got up to the 60º's.
I have a carport that is made of metal and next to it is an
oak tree. The wind was blowing so hard and the acorns were flying off the tree
and hitting the carport and it sounded like gunshots! Bam bam bam bam bam....
Yesterday, since it was the Friday the 13th, I stayed
home!
So then, I get this phone call from a 336 (No. Carolina) area code and all
the ID says is "out of area".
Then a female voice leaves a message, "Ignoring this message
will be a second attempt to avoid an appearance before a magistrate judge or a
grand jury for a federal criminal offence. Do not disregard this message and
return this call now. If you don not return this call or your attorney then all
I can do is wish you luck."
GOOD LORD, do people really fall for this crap????
Here are some "interesting" restaurant names....
Historically this
date....
1908 – The Chicago
Cubs defeat the Detroit
Tigers, 2-0, clinching the World
Series. It would be their last one to
date.
1912 – While campaigning in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, the former President of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt, is shot and mildly wounded by John
Schrank, a mentally-disturbed saloon keeper. With the
fresh wound in his chest, and the bullet still within it, Mr. Roosevelt still
carries out his scheduled public
speech.
1967 – The Vietnam
War: The folk singer Joan
Baez is arrested concerning a physical blockade of
the U.S.
Army's induction center in Oakland,
California.
1968 – Jim
Hines of the United
States of America becomes the first man ever to break
the so-called "ten-second barrier" in the 100-meter
sprint in the Summer
Olympic Gamesheld in Mexico
City with a time of 9.95
seconds.
2003 – Chicago
Cubs fan Steve Bartman becomes infamously known as the
scapegoat for the Cubs losing game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series to
the Florida
Marlins. This has become known as the Steve
Bartman incident.
And births this date
include....
1790 – Thursday October Christian (d.
1831)
OMG, so
interesting!
1890 – Dwight D.
Eisenhower, American general and 34th President of the United States(d.
1969)
Our Senior Leadership
class in high school went to Pepperdine University to see President Eisenhower
receive an honorary degree. I got to shake his hand. OMG, he seemed larger than
life and his hands were HUGE! He was very pleasant.
1927 – Roger
Moore, English actor (d.2017)
Later for dinner I cooked some Omaha Steaks Breaded Coconut
Shrimp in the air fryer (still frozen, drizzle with olive oil, 370º, 15
minutes). I made a dipping sauce with mayonnaise and bacon seasoning.
This comes from Australia. It is so good and can be mixed into anything you
like or sprinkled on top. If you like bacon, you would love this!
.... and I put some baby carrots in a dish, put in some water, put in
microwave, covered with my "splatter guard cover"
and cooked on high for 5 minutes.
PERFECT!!!!

National Dessert Day
National Dessert Day is a
rich day filled with yummy treats!
Celebrate National Dessert
Day today. For just one day, forget
about the calories and high fat content in many desserts. Then, tomorrow you can
go back to your diet.
It's easy to enjoy National
Dessert Day . You can make your own
desserts, buy them at the store, or go out to a restaurant and enjoy a dessert,
or two. Make sure to have dessert with family or friends. It's even more fun
that way.
May we suggest having dessert at every meal today!?
Have a happy, and fattening, National Dessert Day !!
