    Locally here in Reno. The Truckee river starts at Lake Tahoe. Heads "east" and its up discharging in Lake Pyramid. VBut the lake level never rises? Where's the water go.  Underground aquifer?

     

    For the same reason that the Mediterranean doesn't  - evaporation.

    The first flag was raised on Mt. Suribachi Feb. 23, 1945, at around 10:20 a.m., but the fighting wasn’t over on Suribachi, and even after the mountain was secured, the battle on other parts of the island would continue for a month. In the foreground, facing the camera, is Pfc. Louis Charlo, who was part of the earlier morning patrol that found Suribachi nearly undefended, and was present for both flag-raisings. He was killed in action a week later while attempting to rescue a wounded Marine. U.S. MARINE CORPS PHOTO BY SGT. LOUIS BURMEISTER

    I don't understand the problem. Maybe it's because I don't follow sports, but what's the concern?

     

     

    It's the end of an era.  The last team to change it's standards to allow beards.  In and of itself it's really meaningless, but in a sport as tradition-bound as Baseball, it's a significant change.

    When I eat meat on a plate, I can cut with my right and use my fork in the left OR I will cut left handed and use my fork in my right hand. I don’t switch forks and knives back and forth. 

    I can eat left or right handed. Get your hands injured enough and you get ambidextrous with important things, though I still can’t shoot left handed worth a darn. :lol:
     

     

     

    One time a guy let me try his bow that was made for his sinister.....uh.....left handed inclination.   It wasn't pretty.  At least using the standard Mediterranean Release. 

     

    Finally figured it, though.   I used it right handed with the Mongolian (Thumb) Release.

    I cut the meat with a knife with my right hand and use my left hand with the fork to put it in my mouth. If that’s unmannerly I really don’t give a hoot!🤠

    Your way,  if I recall is classic Old World etiquette.   Also using the fork to hold the food while you cut it, then use the knife to bring it to your mouth.

    As they say on chopped, “a little acid”.

     

    ive never tried any of the other citrus fruits as just acid add-ins.

     

    What I like about the Tabasco for "a little acid" is that it takes so little and it imparts no discernable flavor. Lemon juice, lime juice, and most vinegars give a discernable taste to me.  Unseasoned rice vinegar is the only one that I can't actually taste.

  8. My Go-To for all sorts of things.   A pleasant heat, not insanely hot.  

     

    A lot of times when a soup or stew is kind of muddy and "needs something" a dash or two brightens it up.  It doesn't add heat,  but somehow just those few drops does the trick.
