I've made them, just read about them. You form the dough. I think that the dough needs more flour than the typical cookie dough, otherwise it has a tendency to run down the sides. Some suggest a sort of two part mould. Press the dough into the cups of one pan and lightly press another pan onto it. One I remember said to make big cookies and when you pull them out drape them over the form.

LOL! Timing is everything! Last week I deleted a dozen or so photos of Concrete Arrows that I had downloaded. Great site! Thanks. Some others https://savingplaces.org/stories/the-true-story-behind-those-giant-concrete-arrows https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/concrete-arrows-america From the CNN page "This is Brian Smith's favorite arrow in Elko County, Nevada on the San Francisco-Salt Lake airway. Courtesy DREAMSMITHPHOTOS.COM" https://patch.com/california/lamorinda/what-are-these-concrete-arrows-on-top-of-acalanes-ridge www.wayalife.com/threads/concrete-arrow-quest-search-for-transcontinental-airway-beacons.13576/ (I had to play with that to get it to post. I think you'll need to copy and paste into your browser) An amazing system. Most of the Arrows were straight. Some off at an angle. Some 2 tails and 1 point. Others 1 tail and 2 or 3 points. Or, as the second photo, 2 and 2. Must have been quite a job of work to get all the materials in to some of the more remote areas.

I've been spoiled by online ordering and curbside pickup. Started when I had the Fauci Flu and passed it to my wife. Ordered from Safeway, went and picked it up. They put it in the trunk. No contact. Now, the last week of the month I start putting together a "cart" in the Walmart app. Come the 3rd of the month, or whenever Social Security hits, I place the order. We drive down, I drop my wife at the door so she can go in and get dairy, lunch meat, and check the clearance racks. I park in the pick up area, let the store know I'm there. Usually they have it out in under 5 minutes. Person bringing it out lets me know of any out of stock or substitutions. About another 10 minutes and the wife comes out with the other stuff. The app lets us know what stuff is being shipped to us. Usually no more than 2 days wait. Really cuts down on impulse buying.

By the way, the military still uses metal panels for emergency airstrips. So, even though they now use aluminum rather than steel, I'd bet that a lot of the skills needed are the same.

I haven't been into a regular Walmart in a couple of years. I do use the Walmart Neighborhood Market. Good grocery store. It's considerably less expensive than Safeway or Lucky, although I do check the weekly flyers on those, especially Safeway.

See: https://www.beachesofnormandy.com/articles/The_painkiller_of_battlefields/?id=96704f837c Briefly, medics' kits came with a box of 5 syretts. Individual kits had 1, if any. Given the dedication of "docs" to their soldiers, Marines, and sailors, i doubt that there was any significant morphine addiction among them. Those they treated were another matter. Today we have a much wider range of pain killers available, so while morphine is still in use, it's not as common.

As found on FB "Two US Navy Corpsmen stand in front of a battalion aid post. You can see the improvised sands bags made from captured Japanese rice bags. I also note one is carrying a 1911 .45 pistol which was not common issue to the corpsman. They learned real quick to take their red cross arm bands off and arm themselves. #guadalcanalwalkingabattlefield"

No, no....he needs to pick up the bottle of his medicine. And his coffee cup.

My late ex-wife and I used to send anniversary greetings to each other. If people divorced on good terms, stayed friends and so forth, if I've by some miracle I can remember their anniversary, I'll send greetings of the day. But for divorce, usually nobody besides the principals know the exact date. Sometimes even the principals are fuzzy on the date because they are notified by letter of the final decree. Also, divorce is often a painful event. "Hey! Happy Anniversary of your double Amputation!"

June 4th, 1942: At 14:30 hrs., a Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat (3-F-24) from VF-3 (USS Yorktown CV-5) lands on the USS Hornet CV-8 during the Battle of Midway. The aircraft had been damaged by Japanese Zeros, and the pilot, Ens. Daniel C. Sheedy was wounded in the leg. The aircraft landed hard, causing the right landing gear to collapse, and at the moment of impact, the six .50 cal machine guns opened fire, killing five of Hornet's crew and wounding twenty others. (Note: puffs of smoke coming from the aircraft's guns.) It is believed that Ens. Sheedy failed to cut off the gun switch before landing; however, a witness stated that he noticed that the circuits for the switch had been "shot out" in combat and were therefore inoperable, and the man who first opened the cockpit noted that the switches were off. (Note: In Capt. Mitscher's report states, "Since the pilot cut the engine ignition switch after landing, it is probable that he cut the gun switches at the same time, perhaps without being fully aware of his actions.") Ens. Sheedy was removed from the plane, and personnel from Hornet noted several bullet holes in the cockpit of Sheedy's plane, including two in the instrument panel. The aircraft was then pushed over the side. In the administrative report filed June 14, 1942, by Capt. Mitscher, the last line states, "There was no culpable neglect or culpable inefficiency on the part of anyone connected with this accident". www.Sierrahotel.net

Cop says the owner called the police. I'm surprised that she had anything to do with a firearm. Active shooter would NOT be a non-emergency call. Looks like from your neck of the woods: 17,606 views May 31, 2025 #bodycam #tesla #florida Crazy lady arrested for shooting Tesla
