Got a Dense Fog Advisory this morning:
QuoteDENSE FOG ADVISORYISSUED: 5:18 AM JAN. 1, 2024 – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM PST THIS MORNING... * WHAT...Visibility less than 1/4 mile in dense fog. * WHERE...North Bay Interior Valleys. * WHEN...Until 11 AM PST this morning. * IMPACTS...Hazardous driving conditions due to low visibility. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Dense fog may be patchy, if driving this morning be prepared for quick changes in visibility. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
While of some concern, it is far superior to the dreaded "Intelligent Fog Advisory."-

May this year see you blessed by God with health and happiness, joy and contentment, a little sadness, but not too much, as without sadness how can you truly know joy? May evils flee from you as smoke. May your loves be many and your enemies few.
Happy New Year

In part: "FERAL HOG FACTS
Feral hogs are prolific breeders. A female, or “sow,” can become sexually mature and have her first litter at around one year of age. Litters average six pigs and on average a sow has 1.5 litters per year; or three litters in two years under normal conditions. Her life span typically spans six years.
Under better than average circumstances, such as when there is abundant food sources, both, the amount of litters over a given period and the number of pigs per litter can be much higher. Under good circumstances, two litters per year are possible and more pigs per litter are common. In addition, they normally have a longer lifespan when conditions are bountiful.
Over the vast majority of their range, feral pigs face very light pressure from predators. This, combined with the very prolific nature of hogs, has created the perfect storm and the feral hog explosion we face today.
When hog numbers approach carrying capacity of a given range they simply move to where there are better conditions. This movement is part of the expansion problem, but natural expansion is a slow process. Feral hog expansion has, and continues to be, greatly aided by humans transporting and releasing them in areas that are pig-free."
Here in California they do tremendous damage to vineyards and other agriculture.

Was that blue cake or blue sponge?
She’s good at that.
It looks like she overmixed the batter, and maybe used a little too much leavening.

Calamity Jane was a frequent visitor to the mining town of Gilt Edge, Montana. In this photo, Jane is drinking a beer with cowboy Teddy Blue Abbott - the two had exchanged hats for the photo. It was said that Abbott came to town to repay 50 cents he borrowed from Jane in 1883. (ca. 1887 photo)
Now there is photographic documentation that cowboys wore women's hats!

The young woman who submitted the tech support message below (about her relationship with her husband) presumably did it as a joke. Then she got a reply that was way too good to keep to herself. The tech support people's love advice was hilarious.
The query:
Dear Tech Support,
"Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed: Desperate
The response (that came weeks later out of the blue)
Dear Desperate,
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta version.
Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.
Good Luck
Tech Support

Now that's really weird. When I posted it I could see it. Here's the link.

On this date, December 30, 1912, Lee Humiston, using a 1,000 cc twin cylinder chain driven Excelsior circled the banked one-mile oval track at Prince’s Playa del Rey, California in 36 seconds flat to become the first motorcyclist in the world “officially” timed at 100 mph.One week after his milestone accomplishment, “The Humiston Comet,” as he was promptly nicknamed by the press, surpassed Jake DeRosier’s record for 100 miles, trimming nearly seven and a half minutes from the fatally injured rider’s best time. Excelsior had won the race to the magic 100 mph mark and they had smashed the Indian-held record for the 100-mile distance as well.The publicity was enormous. Every school boy in America knew that a man had traveled at 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle, and that he had accomplished this feat on an Excelsior built in Chicago.

I should note that you do not put eggs or oil in the cake mix. Just use a can of diet soda.
This recipe is very versatile, you can substitute chocolate cake mix, maraschino cherries and a diet cherry cola to get a cherry chocolate cake.
The cake is super moist by it's self so it can be served with or without a topping.
I"ve played around with the variations. Spice Cake mix with Cock & Bull Ginger Beer. Or try Chocolate Cake with an orange soda. Lemon Cake with Ginger Beer.

CA split into six new states would no doubt give the Democrats even more seats in Congress.
It would dilute the power of San Francisco and Los Angeles in the Senate. Looking at how CA voted by county 4 of the states created would likely elect 2 conservative senators each. At worst it would be a wash in the House. And, more important, it would greatly shift the number of Electors in the College.

... time to toss out all the leftover primers & powder from this past year and replace it with fresh stuff.
What are these things that you call "leftover primers and powder?"

That doesn't make any sense.
You go to a military academy. They educate you and train you for free, with the understanding that when you graduate you go into the military.
So this guy was not able to join our military because he was not a US citizen, but he was at one of our military academies?
Probably had something to do with the Commonwealth status of the Philippines.

Of course, If one doesn't "Face Book" the reference is of no practical value.
Sounds like a personal problem.
That's why I made a point to mention FB in the subject line, to try to ward off the professional victims who whine about not being able to see things on FB. I figured that if they see "FB" they'll just ignore it and move on.

For example
Soon, we will begin Phase II of this project. This phase will return this historic piece of artillery to its World War I configuration by fabricating and installing the shield and seats for the gunners. This configuration was used by the California National Guard's 143rd Field Artillery Regiment from World War I to 1933, when the regiment transitioned from horse-drawn guns to truck-drawn variants.-

#OTD in 1942, USS Nautilus (SS-168) conducted an unusual mission by rescuing a group of refugees in the Solomons that included fourteen nuns in white habits who had evaded the Japanese for nine months. The nuns spent three days on the sub and were impressed with the hospitality offered to them by the sailors. Though they never figured out how to operate the complex flushing procedure for the head, the nuns did learn how to play cribbage. The four "Submarine Sisters" of St. Joseph of Orange returned to the Solomons after the war.-

Your Latin Lesson for today:"The phrase employs the gerundive, a verbal adjective, of deleo, delere, delevi, deletum, "to destroy",[2] (delendus, -a, -um). The future passive participle "delenda" (meaning "to be destroyed") is then combined with the verb sum ("to be"[3]) or parts thereof, adds an element of compulsion or necessity, yielding "is to be destroyed", or, as it is more commonly rendered "must be destroyed". This then forms a predicative adjective.[4] This construction in Latin is known as the passive periphrastic. Carthago, -inis being a feminine noun, the feminine gender of the gerundive is applied. The fuller forms Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam use the so-called accusative and infinitive for the indirect statement."
