This beautiful woman Annette Kellerman promotes women's Right to wear a Fitted One-piece Bathing Suit, 1907. She was arrested for indecency. Wow.
In the 1920s when measured and found the bathing suit too short you would be fined. Thank God for Democracy.

Yesterday I met up with Nancy and Dave Perry for lunch at Taqueria la Guacamaya across the Depot Street bridge in Rogue River.
OMG, Julio's food is sooooooooooooooooo good. I LOVE his tamales! I had a chicken and a pork tamale, rice and beans, and a little pico de gallo on lettuce. (Spicy!) I ordered enough to I had leftovers for dinner!!
We had a great visit. Been awhile. I think it's been about a year since the three of us have hooked up. We vowed to do this more often!!
The other night I got a picture of the orange moon, last night as the sun was setting I got a picture of the orange sun!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

On July 27, we recognize an aged whisky distilled from malted barley. It is National Scotch Day!
This particular whisky first and foremost must be made in Scotland. It must be fermented from malted barley, aged in oak barrels for at least three years and have an ABV of less than 94.8%. While most Scotch is made with barley, water and yeast, other grains can be included, but no fermentation additives, per law.
There are five distinct categories of Scotch whisky including single malt Scotch, single grain Scotch, blended malt Scotch, blended grain Scotch and blended Scotch.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Enjoy some scotch with friends. (Remember always to drink responsibly and never drink and drive)
