rickers, one day we will discover that you are some famous artist in hiding
EH hope the recovery is continuing well. We finally got some rain yesterday, big old fat drops!
Today that back little field is getting sprayed so I am staying in the house. Not so sure that would be good for the old lungs.
Steak on the grill for later.
I do know where there are a few pictograph sites similar to this one and I need more pictograph and petroglyph pictures as I sometimes reproduce miniatures on small slabs of shale and mount then on a nice bases to sell.
This image is just a small part of a larger pictograph panel near Perma Montana.
Clever idea. I'm thinking it might go especially well on a piece of picture rock.
Now I wonder what those critters were meant to be? They kindof put me in mind of sheep by their shapes, but horned like a mountain goat. Too bad the original art is such low resolution that it's hard to make out those small details.
Frying good bacon is an art. It starts with picking the right bacon at the store. Now ya all got me wanting a BLT.
Yes a BLT with very thin straight center cut bacon fried slow and crisp but not hard. Toast whole grain bread and put butter on one piece and mayo on the other, then goes on the bacon, a thin slice of tomato, Romain lettuce, salt and pepper.
Goes down good with an RC cola.
Tonight however my wife wants pasta and I'm thinking I may be wanting something like this tonight. The old standby, Taco-rollitos with some arroz Mexicanos, a pickled serrano pepper with cilantro and chunky salsa.

That's because you haven't had kosher bacon (called Beef Frye or Breakfast Beef, and from the same part of the cow that bacon comes from on the pig), lettuce, tomato on a plain bagel.
Kosher beef bacon sounds good (well, kosher meats are always good -- I buy kosher hotdogs cuz they're so much better than regular) -- I'd try it if I ever saw it. I imagine it might have some of the same character as good pastrami, as to how the beef seasons up.
Turkey bacon, tho... ech.
I like low-salt bacon myself, particularly sugar-cured or applewood-smoked. After eating those, regular bacon is just too crudely-flavoured, so to speak.

Different flavor than pastrami; more like a milder, less-pungent bacon.
SORRY .. but you're ALL wrong.. I happen to be a bacon connoisseur.. I even have a column in Porcine magazine.. And had a best selling book .. "ALL THINGS BACON..."
ANYWAY ... As hard as it is to believe .. the TASTIEST bacon actually comes from a 5 lb CAN of bacon, army C-Rations bacon.. THICK CUT..
Most of it disppeared after WWII.. Returning GI's snuck most of it home with them.. That was the origin of the term .. "bringing home the bacon".. Most of what was left was sent to Korea during the war.. It was never meant to go to Korea, however, a company clerk in a MASH unit cleverly managed to gather most of it up.. He was aware of the market for the popular canned bacon, and that there was no supply of it .. He discovered if you got a DD-127, crossed out "howitzer", and wrote in "5 lb can of bacon", that the army would send it to you.. Word has it that he had over 20,000 cans of it delivered to his unit over the course of 2 yrs.. ( It was kept hidden under a large bullseye laid out as a target for a north korean pilot, affectionately known as "5 o'clock Charlie" .. who flew by daily to dry to bomb the MASH unit, but had notoriously bad aim ).. The clerk was never charged with anything because all the orders, and receiving, were signed for by a Captain Tuttle .. who was killed in action, leaving his army insurance money, and back pay, to a local orphanage..
After two years of trying, he was finally given a Section 8 discharge signed by his unit commander and two other physicians.. Unfortunately, the war ended on the same day.. Upon hearing of the end of the war, he tore up his Section 8 ... and mailed himself, along with 20,000 cans of c-ration bacon, home to Toledo, Ohio in a crate marked "Farm Equipment".. He eventually became quite wealthy from his women's clothing stores, and a thriving mail order canned bacon business.. He also became known for his 4th of July tradition of dressing up as the Statue of Liberty and shooting off fireworks from the torch he was holding..
It's never been confirmed .. but rumor has it that he got the money together to start his businesses by working as a chorus girl in the main room at the Tropicana in Las Vegas..... 7 nights a week .. and a matinee on Sunday..
..... "WOW"
..... You almost had me there, but you made ONE mistake.. There IS no matinee on Sunday at the Tropicana.
..... "WOW"
" I guess that would explain all the empty seats." ( sound of a snare drum rimshot ) ..

Hmmmmm, sounds a little like a 'slightly modified version" of Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr), who was in fact born in Toledo.
