@RSE_VB I changed the drive wheels on my 25 year old mower. It was time.

"He had a photograph of me in a hitting position and one of those grease pencils you see at a newspaper, and he was marking that thing up.
I said, 'What are you doing with that?' and he said they were going to make a new MLB logo.
You know, I was in the Commissioner's office when the mock-up for that logo was being done.
But for some reason, they won't admit it's me.
It's an interesting thing, and I don't know why."
"The Gentleman Called Killer"
Harmon Killebrew.
"Jerry Dior designed the Major League Baseball logo in 1968, while working for 'Sandgren & Murtha', a New York City marketing firm.
At the time, it seemed a routine assignment — an afternoon’s work, he later said — little different from his other projects there, which included package designs for Kellogg’s and Nabisco.
As was customary with work-for-hire designs, Mr. Dior received no royalties for his baseball logo, and no public credit.
He did not expect to, nor did he expect his work to endure:
Logos are ephemeral things, with clients inclined to revamp them every few years.
But this particular logo did endure.
By 2008, it had become “a masterpiece of modern brand design” that was “more iconic and visible than ever.”
Yet Mr. Dior, who had never thought to retain a documentary record of the assignment, remained unacknowledged.
It was not money he longed for, he said, but the simple act of recognition."
Margalit Fox, New York Times.
"I spoke to Harmon Killebrew at an Old-Timers' Dinner in a few years ago.
I asked Killebrew about the logo controversy, and he claimed that he was indeed the inspiration for the logo. Kiillebrew signed a 1963 Twins yearbook for me, and his image on the cover bears an uncanny resemblance to the MLB logo."
Baseball historian Maxwell Kates.

@WorkElizab What country road was it found on?

@CaryKelly11 Maybe a roulade?

The food bank I worked at inspected every donation. Based on the item's "best by" date, we trashed canned goods more than ten years past, boxed goods more than two years past, and baby food more than 6 months past. Cans with bulging ends (usually badly dented) would get tossed as well.

Shockwaves are definitely insane.

Liftoff of Starship V3, from the dunes right outside the pad.

This is the most insane shockwave action I have ever seen on video. Absolutely mad.

The middle bottle contains Insta Cure #1. It's 6.25% sodium nitrite and the rest is salt. It's dyed pink so it's not confused with salt. I use 0.25% by weight in my dry cure (2.5 grams per kilogram of meat). This gives 156 ppm (parts per million) of sodium nitrite. The maximum allowed in US commercial bacon is 200 ppm. It is used to set the color of the meat and affects the flavor.

I bought a new house in Albuquerque. About two years later in the middle of the summer, I start hearing a smoke detector chirp. After a week of searching, I stuck my head into the attic and the chirping got louder. Next, followed wading through two feet of blown in insulation, step by step, one beep at a time until I found it. It wasn't even mounted, just laying on top of the ceiling sheet rock.

Also, this happened at the 2003 airshow at Mountain Home AFB.
