@MAstronomers
At 4207 meters above sea level on Hawaii's Mauna Kea, photographer Andrew McCarthy set out on a challenging climb. His goal was to capture a rare sight, Saturn slipping behind the moon. From the peak of the dormant volcano, he finally witnessed and photographed the stunning event, bringing a piece of the cosmos down to earth.

I think they can swim a lot faster than you expect they can but I don't think they run very fast. I watched a video of a crocodile trying to get a baby hippo once; bunch of adult hippos showed up and went to work on that croc; i actually felt a little bad for that dumb dino b*stard by the time they were through. Hippos are definitely a FAFO animal; right up there with Cape Buffalos. Mean as hell.

I was entertained by that article. Add "lack of situational awareness" to Mr. Walz's repertoire. In referring to voters that didn't vote for him he actually said, "I think I could kick most of their asses."

But, the most amusing thing about the interview is how he tried to prove his masculinity. Apparently, hunting and fixing a truck is the benchmark. Spoken like someone who thinks masculinity is a stereotypical action. I guess women don't have the tools to hunt or fix a truck. That seems sexist.

If it's the same one I saw a while back (circa 1910 New York City) it was fascinating. The street was very wide, four lanes today. But there were no lanes indicated, no traffic lights, no stop signs or even a policeman directing traffic. Pedestrians (including children) were casually walking wherever they wanted to at will, crossing the boulevard between slow-moving horse-drawn carriages, streetcars and the occasional primitive automobile. It's a wonder that someone wasn't getting run over every day; maybe they were, until the city had to figure out how to make the streets safer at the turn of the century.

I had a grilled seafood platter with catfish filet. It was yummy. Came with some oysters, scallops and shrimp, too. I am in a food coma right now, near enough.

Thanks.

The Flounder in Spartanburg is another for the list. Not greasy and everything tastes different (you know exactly what I'm talking about if you eat at many local fish restaurants)

Catfish is a Southern redneck delicacy. Any decent seafood place should have catfish, and preferably several offerings of it.

I had a combo platter of fried catfish and Calabash shrimp.

I also like the broiled/grilled catfish. There is a Cajun version of that a couple of the local places do that I like. Miley found a good recipe for that, and she uses the oven broiler for it.

There was some cole slaw I had somewhere years ago that so good I couldn't stand it. And dammit, I just can't remember where or anything.

I remember the shreds were coarser than usual, and a big long compared to most styles. But it was damned good.

Dives. Look for the roadside dives advertising catfish.

Outside of Memphis, out towards Millington NAS there was this 4 way intersection. 2 lane roads. One little shack off to the side that had two tables inside, folding chairs and the best goddamn catfish in TN.

The one time I had catfish was in New Orleans, at a place where the locals ate. I didn't like it. Maybe it was the sauce, or all the other stuff it was mixed in with. Too soft, too.

I'm not sure if other places are similar, but the South will vary the base and ingredients of the slaw depending on what it's being eaten with.

At one time people would give a polite "bless your heart" if you brought some sort of mayonnaise atrocity to eat with barbeque. It doesn't happen as often now since the larger areas are mostly North, but go into rural communities and people still know how to cook.

Gary Underhill, CIA special assignments man. Day after the assassination, he left D.C and went to NJ and warned that a small clique in the CIA was responsible, and he was bugging out of the country. He was found shot to death 6 months later, ruled a suicide.

He claimed JFK was about to blow the lid on this dirty CIA faction running narcotics and guns.

Chicken on the Way, a Calgary fixture since 1958, serves a "corn fritter" that is very close to a hush puppy. Breaded with the same breading mix used on their chicken, which is real good. Freshly=chipped French fries, too, never frozen.

233 A buddy of mine in the Army took leave shile stationed at Schofield and hiked to the top. There is a Red Hill cabin iirc about 1/3 or 1/2 the way up, and a summit cabin. The route kicked my ass, it isn’t like normal hiking on most backpacking in that it is a jumble of volcanic rocks and small boulders, so in some of the trail concentration is required for foot placement. While not super high in elevation I was not feeling well at all, this takes a lot of the enjoyment out. The view is spectacular over the summit cauldron.
