And speaking of names...... I saw this article and thought it interesting, in a weird way..........
Every time we talk about awesomely bad celebrity baby names around here we get quite a reaction.  This go-round we’ve expanded our circle from just celebrity children to that of the general population.
Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, authors of the new book Bad Baby Names, have searched a century of US census reports to find the worst of the worst. Below is their list of 20 bad baby names, in descending order:
  • 1: Dracula Taylor
  • 2: Young Boozer
  • 3: Cancer Grindstaff
  • 4: Envy Burge
  • 5: Cylclops Walthour
  • 6: Nice Veal
  • 7: Cylinder Klinefelter
  • 8: Zero Pie
  • 9: Geography Bryan
  • 10: Fat Meat Fields
  • 11: Jelly Bean Cook
  • 12: Mustard M.Mustard
  • 13: Tackle Feigenbutz
  • 14: Jump Jump
  • 15: Nail Rambo
  • 16: Waitress Seholley
  • 17: Hysteria Johnson
  • 18: Lotta Bacon
  • 19: United States
  • 20: Wanna Funk
So what do you think? Do any of these rival celebrity baby names like Pilot InspektorApple, or Peanut Kai?

Today my friend Cliff Kuehl, Patty's husband, is having hip replacement surgery. Not going to be easy, as Cliff is 86.

Fortunately when they moved from here to the coast their son Chuck and his bride Linda also moved over there and are a big help for Patty and Cliff. Thoughts and prayers are with you Cliff!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

On this day, the deliciously sweet chocolate truffle gets the spotlight.
This chocolate confectionery is traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate, icing, cocoa powder, chopped nuts or coconut.  The truffle may be filled with other fillings such as cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, nougat, fudge, toffee, mint, marshmallow or liqueur.
N. Petruccelli of Chambery, France is believed to be the inventor of the chocolate truffle in December 1895.  Truffles became much more popular in 1902 when Prestat Chocolate Shop opened in London.  Prestat still sells “Napoleon III” truffles made to the original recipe.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Enjoy the following tried and true recipes.
