    "The Texas quote of the day is a good one. It was written in 1932  by Robert E. Howard,  author of Conan the Barbarian, in a letter to the famous horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft.

    "Mexican dishes I enjoy, but they don't agree with me much. However I generally wrestle with them every time I go to the border. Tamales, enchilados, tacos, chili con carne to a lesser extent, barbecued goat-meat, tortillas, Spanish-cooked rice, frijoles - they play the devil with a white man's digestion, but they have a tang you seldom find in Anglo-Saxon cookery. You know a coyote nor a buzzard never will touch a Mexican's carcass - they can't stand the pepper he ate in his lifetime. The last time I was on the border I discovered one Pablo Ranes, whose dishes smoked with the concentrated essence of hell-fire. I returned to his abode of digestional-damnation until my once powerful constitution was but a shell of itself. I aided Pablo's atrocities with some wine bottled in Spain that kicked like an army mule, and eventually came to the conclusion that the border is a place only for men with cast-iron consciences and copper bellies."

    If they are incapable of living in society don't let em out. Otherwise why shouldn't they be able to protect themselves like everybody else.

     

    Debt to society paid restore their civil rights.

     

    I would phrase it something like "No longer under supervision."   That is, any mandated reporting,  check ins, etc.

    "Fired unexploded Battleship rounds recovered on Iwo Jima are piled in a munitions scrap area - March 1945
     
    Most of these are 14” HC / HE shells, Note that the nose fuses have been removed, also looks like a few aerial bombs mixed in.

    These duds probably resulted from the soft volcanic ash soil on Iwo Jima.

    eggs in coca cola. if you throw boiled eggs, spices, a little soy sauce into a frying pan, pour cola over it all. stew a little and sprinkle with sesame and green onions, you get a great snack. shorten the life hack and surprise

     

    ;)

     

    Odd....now I'm just seeing the black square on the YouTube I posted.   

     

    Watching the Instagram, and going just on visual,  I got: Eggs, Soy Sauce, Coca-Cola, Green 6nion,  Ginger, and Red Peppers. Cook, let it reduce,  garnish with Sesame Seed and Green Onion.

    I hope you take the pop top out first.  I imagine that would hurt to ingest. 

     

    Distracting,  isn't it?  You'd think he would have pulled it out and then edited the video. 

  6. I got some 16/20 shrimp down to thaw the other day.   My wife didn't want to just season or bread them for the air fryer,  so she did some on the internet and found:

     

    https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/rosemary-garlic-shrimp/#RecipeCard

     

     
     
    Rosemary Garlic Shrimp
    Ingredients
    1-1/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    3 tablespoons chopped ripe olives
    1 small cayenne or other fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    2 pounds uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined

    Directions
    In a large skillet, combine all ingredients except shrimp; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half.
    Stir in shrimp; return just to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until shrimp turn pink, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    =========≈=================
    Only made about 3/4:# of shrimp, didn't have ripe olives so used Walmart brand stuffed green olives, and a 3-finger pinch of Aleppo pepper flakes in place of the hot red pepper.   A definite Do Again.   Maybe play around with types of olives,  capers, and types of paprika.    
     
    It would also work well,  I think,  with cubes of Chicken Breast.   Not sure about Pork. Maybe Button Mushrooms.

  7. My Nissan Leaf isn't self driving,  but does have a collision warning device.   One morning, Sun at my back,  driving towards a wall of fog.  Almost literally, there was only about a 10 yard transition from clear to less than 50 yards visibility.   Got the collision warning and the little tap of the brakes to get my attention.   Just from the wall of fog.

  8. I'm sitting here giddy as a schoolboy watching the reentry, splash down,  and recovery.

     

    About 5 minutes from splash to the small fast boats made it to Dragon.   And another 5 for the recovery vessel to get there.

     

    The memories of the long waits, aircraft carrier divisions,  helicopters with swimmers jumping out of them flooding back. 

     

     

    The sense of awe, wonder, amazement,  and joy are never going to go away.   In fact,  seem even greater now because of the comparisons I'm able to make. 

     

     

    OOOOoooo.. DOLPHINS playing maybe 20 yards from Dragon!  How COOL!

     

     

    WHAT A MARVELOUS TIME TO BE ALIVE!

  9. If we are going to get into texts, a couple of years ago my cell number got spread around some sort of eatery/bar in Healdsburg CAax the numberof one of the girls working there.  For about 2 months I would get at least once a week a text asking her to cover for someone who couldn't make it in. I always replied so the sender knew that the person wasn't ignoring  the texts.  Got some nice banter going on.
