Every day this man would buy a Pravda on the way to work from a kiosk in Red Square. He'd look at the front page for a few seconds and toss the paper. One day after years of this, the kiosk owner asked, "Why do you toss the paper after just glancing at the front page?"'

The currents in Atlantic and Pacific rotate in same direction. Gulf Stream brings warmed water (and storms) north. Water cools and returns south on the eastern side. CA, north of San Louis Obisbo, is on the eastern side of similar current. Ocean Geography UCSB 1982 or 83.

Been getting more and more spam texts/calls. Blocking unknown callers may be helping but if they spoof a valid number it doesn't block. I found a decent alternative. Do Not Disturb BUT allow calls and messages from contacts. I also allowed repeat dialers in (Verizon on Samsung 22) 15 minutes.

We grow a variety specifically for drying, Principi Borghese. We use a food dehydrator for the drying, but you can use an oven on warm with a cookie sheet to hold the T's and a wooden spoon to hold the door open to let the moisture out. Overnight works well. www.rareseeds.com/tomato-princ...

Get a oven thermometer, or using a meat one, bake a pyrex measuring cup full of water and test the temp. Remember that ovens cycle on and off so some variation will occur, best bet is test every 15 minutes for an hour or so. If always off, look up how to adjust your oven.

You can, each batch gets less 'chicken' as you go though. My three birds go me 5,000 ml plus another large 'to go' soup container. I added one onion, 4 carrots, several celery stalks and a few peppercorns. I am on low salt diet so zero salt.
