It's been a peaceful week...which we needed. Freya the granddog went off with her parents, but will be back later this week. The kids had other plans on Father's Day, so we had fellow kid-less friends over for steak and strawberry shortcake, instead. And Tiger had a special gift for the Brick on his special day: a pee puddle. (Sigh)
Otherwise, life goes on.
Meanwhile:
The Army's 250th anniversary parade was AMAZING. But I was a tad freaked out by the robot dogs.
Historic uniforms from the Army parade -- Revolutionary War through today!
Hikers in the Czech Republic find a WWII stash of coins and jewelry.
Captain Cook's ship The Endeavour is found off Rhode Island. (It was scuttled there in the 1770s.)
"Spontaneous" anti-Trump protests? Sure. You bet. (Oops, they're sponsored by a number of groups, including those with strong Democratic ties. But that has nothing to do with it... right?)
ONE person survives an Air India crash that killed nearly 250 -- including his brother, who was seated in the same row, but on the other side of the plane.
From the "Figures" department -- this sign.
How to dye wool. (Thanks, Mavis from One Hundred Dollars A Month)
Civil War soldiers' remains found -- in Colonial Williamsburg.
A whole bunch of "well, great...now I know" incidents. (Funny, too -- unless they're your kids.)
An 'astronaut' makes a big deal about being accepted by NASA into the space program... only she isn't. (It's another space program.) Oops... guess she didn't know the difference.
The Recovery, an 18th century shipwreck, may have been... well... recovered.
What's your favorite moneysaving idea? (From The Nonconsumer Advocate -- I love this blog. Don't miss the comments.)
Ten odd things Planet Earth has been up to in recent years. Including rotating faster than usual...
Five myths about "expired" food.
Eleven 'controversial teachings' from the White Coat Investor. Some of these are interesting, all right... but controversial???
Poor Greta Thunberg -- 'kidnapped,' treated shamefully... and now deported. I enjoyed finding out who sponsored her sailboat trip, too. (Why would she pay for it?) By the way, if you refuse to watch a video of the Oct. 7 massacre... then it never happened. Right?
Fiesta coleslaw. Yum.
Have a great week.
