A New Week

Monday, blue Monday!!

Well, here we are starting off a new week.

My son, Tyler, has returned to Reno for his continuing education.

It was a drag having to take him to the airport and send him home.

We had a great three-week visit which was very nice.


Speaking of traveling, my friends, Ben and Ron, left Saturday heading to Ben's sister's in Medford, Oregon.

You know, some friends they are, they are retired so the trip to Medford could happen anytime. But no they couldn't wait until Monday to leave so they could celebrate my birthday with me which was Sunday.

Oregon Saturday or Pat's treats Sunday. I'll let them explain that choice to Pat.

The Big Mac gets its own museum

McDonald's honors 40th anniversary of the big burger

CHICAGO - Normally, a 40-year-old sandwich would be something to be avoided.

Unless you're one of millions who flock to McDonald's each year to chow down on a Big Mac. The triple-decker burger, which helped breed America's super-size culture and restaurants' ever-expanding jumbo meals, is turning 40.



For some fast-food junkies, that's cause for celebration.

The Big Mac was first introduced in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, a McDonald's franchise owner in Uniontown, Pa. A year later, it became a staple of McDonald's menus nationwide.

To celebrate the burger's anniversary, Delligatti, 89, and his family opened a Big Mac Museum Restaurant this week in North Huntingdon, Pa., full of memorabilia, celebratory exhibits and "the world's largest Big Mac statue."

First off the statue is a fraud.

The meat in a big mac is not now or has it ever been that big.

Fact of the matter is when you try to find the meat to add catsup to it, the lettuce hides it really well.


Past Due:

I like a hamburger as well as the next person, but when it comes to a museum I would say if it were not for the following great Americans we would not have the opportunity to eat a Big Mac.


WWII Working Women Seek National Site


Man's work was new to millions of American housewives who, inspired by the "We Can Do It" attitude of the muscle-flexing Rosie the Riveter poster girl, traded in their aprons for coveralls.

The American Rosie the Riveter Association is launching a campaign to build a major national memorial for the 6 million women who ventured from their homes to serve the United States on the home front during World War II.

"Rosies" were America's bedrock.

Had it not been for these women, the war could have had a very different ending.

I thought we had something like that but obviously that has been overlooked.

It's time to rectify that and get the monument now!!


All right my people, that's all the great stuff you get for Monday.

Return tomorrow for more of nothing much at all!!
