LANI   That was a good system you had with Mike and Sadie driving you part way there and back.  Greeting Mike and Sadie and Culvers butter burgers was a high point of the day besides that new route your friend took with the stunning scenery.  All I remember about my time in Tucson - I think the 90s - was how hot it was and how brown everything was except the golf courses  LOL  All yards were zeroscape..  Show and tell on your puzzle when done. ;D  I think in that intruder video it was amazing to see how protective a Mom will be to save her eggs and for such a long time.  Ya - I kept saying " where is he?"  First time hearing of an airport boneyard.  :o

KB  Just came back from a good 35 min walk.  So beautiful at 57 and sunny.

Hello Beakers

We had rice with milk & cinnamon/sugar as well - usually served hot.  Most Americans started eating rice toward the end of the Depression, as California started the massive rice fields in Northern Cal.  The southern states have grown rice since the late 1700s.  Rice was abundant during WWII and not on the ration list, so more people started eating more of it to stretch out the rationed staples.  Rice pudding was a common food item in most of the British Isles by the 1600s.

BAZI   Has the tournament started now with these games?


TSK, those 2 games were the last game of the regular season play for Lani's team, and for my team. Then the conferences have their own tournaments. Each conference tournament has their own schedule. Some have already started, and ended! The first day of my team's ACC Tournament play is this coming Tuesday.

The big NCAA Tournament (Men's Division 1) - March Madness, or the Big Dance, as some like to call it - will select its 68 teams that will play in it on Selection Sunday, which is next Sunday, the 16th, at 6pm, ET, on CBS. The "First Four play March 18 and 19, and the First Round is March 20, 21.

Read all about it:  :D

Howdy Beakers!  :D

Well, I was here, now, planning to put together a post related to many of the topics y'all have posted about the last few days... but here I am, 7 minutes till Happy Hour, and the oven's timer just started buzzing, meaning my appetizer/hors d'oeuvres for my Happy Hour are ready!  ;D  It is stuffed clams, that I dressed up with extra chopped clams and clam juice, and some extra seasoning with butter. So, what's a hungry, thirsty girl to do?!?  8) ;)

Gotta run! Later, Gators!  :D

Take care, Beakers. Peace. SED. :-*

Yep, my Mom grew up during the depression and she used to tell of eating lard sandwiches. She created well balanced meals for us every day. But she had a different palate for snacks for herself... head cheese, raw wieners from the fridge, limburger cheese, herring, etc. When we had BLTs... she would not eat a sandwich. She would wrap lettuce around a Tbs. of sugar, dip pieces of bread in the bacon grease and salt them, and eat the tomatoes with sugar and the bacon plain.   ::)

Back in NJ safe and sound as of late last night.
No travel problems to speak of from Belize City back to Home.
 
 ~ Just pack your patience as they say these days ~   ::)

Now wait a gosh darn one hour time change .. let me get this time change nonsense straight.    ::) ::) ::)

I was on EST when I left NYC on 02/28 and landed in Belize on 02/28.
Clocks do not change in Belize so it's CST there year round.
So I "lost" one time zone going there.
So I "gained" one time zone back to EST last night.

But the man made Daylight Savings Time took 1 time zone back at 2:00 AM this morning.

UTC   

Our blue marble planet that we all live on orbits the sun as it has for as long as we humans know.
Very predictably and very accurately.

Sunrise and Sunset. Celestially unchanged for long before us.

It's our human evolved brains that divided that nice natural cycle into 24 human understandable increments of time long before 'clocks'.

Lets put a line N to S and call it time "zero" for navigational purposes. 
Cool.

War.
Lets fudge the human body clock by an hour with our man made clocks ?
