Last post by Okanagan - July 13, 2026, 01:13:35 PMA man needs a woman to coo over him and bring him drinks when he is recovering from an injury like that. 
Be grateful for her and milk the situation for all its worth. 
It's almost worth the pain.

Saltwater / The Siege of Ft. Salmon
Last post by Okanagan - July 13, 2026, 01:02:38 PMA cousin and I fished on Sat. and got our limit, though it was mostly slow and took several hours to get four legal salmon in the boat.

They raised the limit this year from one to two fish per angler, but only in our fishing area, so the whole state converges here.
We fished near Bachelor Rock, a beautiful section of cliffs and kelp beds. Salmon were chasing bait fish to the surface in the kelp and we cast to specific swirls at times. My cousin caught one that way. We got a double header once when we each hooked a salmon at the same time. Mine went 13 lbs. Cousin's salmon was right at 20 lbs. but we lost it when it was partly in the net. I had a fish on at the same time so he was playing the fish and netting it himself. Doggone.

I'm losing count but have landed at least 17 salmon so far this season, in three outings. Have kept the legal limit of six and released the rest either because they were smaller than our usual ten lb. we prefer, or they were unclipped fish with a fin. A clipped adipose fin indicts a hatchery fish, which is legal to keep. A fin indicates either that it was spawned in a stream rather than a hatchery, or that the hatchery missed clipping that one (which happens a LOT). Salmon with an adipose fin are not legal to keep.

Charlotte Corday assassinates French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat
Jean-Paul Marat, one of the most outspoken leaders of the French Revolution, is stabbed to death in his bath by Charlotte Corday, a Royalist sympathizer.
Originally a doctor, Marat founded the journal L'Ami du Peuple in 1789, and its fiery criticism of those in power was a contributing factor to the bloody turn of the Revolution in 1792. With the arrest of the king in August of that year, Marat was elected as a deputy of Paris to the Convention. In France's revolutionary legislature, Marat opposed the Girondists–a faction made up of moderate republicans who advocated a constitutional government and continental war.
By 1793, Charlotte Corday, the daughter of an impoverished aristocrat and an ally of the Girondists in Normandy, came to regard Marat as the unholy enemy of France and plotted his assassination. Leaving her native Caen for Paris, she had planned to kill Marat at the Bastille Day parade on July 14 but was forced to seek him out in his home when the festivities were canceled. On July 13, she gained an audience with Marat by promising to betray the Caen Girondists. Marat, who had a persistent skin disease, was working as usual in his bath when Corday pulled a knife from her bodice and stabbed him in his chest. He died almost immediately, and Corday waited calmly for the police to come and arrest her. She was guillotined four days later.

Betty Crocker / Bacon wrapped oysters

My sister in law wraps small oysters in bacon, fries them and calls them Angels on Horseback.
I'm OK with oysters, seldom really crazy about them, but these things are FABULOUS!
Just googled Angels on Horseback and it's apparently a French recipe from the 1800's.

Last post by KySongDog - July 12, 2026, 03:44:37 PMI can literally feel your pain. I had thumb surgery last year due to a motorcycle wreck (as well as surgery on other parts of my body) and can say it is no fun. Be sure to do all the therapy and take it easy for a good while. It just takes time.

First Dymaxion car produced
The first three-wheeled, multi-directional Dymaxion car—designed by the architect, engineer and philosopher Buckminster Fuller—is manufactured in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on July 12, 1933.
Born in Massachusetts in 1895, Fuller set out to live his life as (in his own words) "an experiment to find what a single individual can contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity." After making up the word "Dymaxion" as a combination of the words "dynamic," "maximum" and "ion," he took the word as his own personal brand. Among his groundbreaking creations were the geodesic dome and the Dymaxion house, which was made of lightweight aluminum and could be shipped by air and assembled on site.
In 1927, Fuller first sketched the Dymaxion car under the name "4D transport." Part aircraft, part automobile, it had wings that inflated. Five years later, Fuller asked his friend, the sculptor Isamu Noguchi, to make more sketches of the car. The result was an elongated teardrop design, with a rear third wheel that lifted off the ground and a tail fin. Fuller set up production of the Dymaxion car in a former Locomobile factory in Bridgeport in March 1933. The first model rolled out of the Bridgeport factory on July 12, 1933–Fuller's 38th birthday. It had a steel chassis (or frame) and a body made of ash wood, covered with an aluminum skin and topped with a painted canvas roof. It was designed to be able to reach a speed of 120 miles per hour and average 28 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Sold to Gulf Oil, the Dymaxion car went on display at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago. That October, however, the professional driver Francis Turner was killed after the Dymaxion car turned over during a demonstration. An investigation cleared Dymaxion of responsibility, but investors became scarce, despite the enthusiasm of the press and of celebrities such as the novelist H.G. Wells and the painter Diego Rivera.
Along with the Nazi-built KdF-wagen (the forerunner of the Volkswagen Beetle), the Dymaxion was one of several futuristic, rear-engined cars developed during the 1930s. Though it was never mass-produced, the Dymaxion helped lead to public acceptance of new streamlined passenger cars, such as the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr. In 2008, the only surviving Dymaxion was featured in an exhibit dedicated to Fuller's work at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. An article published in The New York Times about the exhibit recalled Fuller's own impressions of the Dymaxion: "I knew everyone would call it a car," he told the literary critic Hugh Kenner in the 1960s; instead, it was actually "the land-taxiing phase of a wingless, twin orientable jet stilts flying device."
