My black cat, Smudge, has a couple of alternate names, "Mr. Nibbles" being one of them. I went to bed around 11 and he came and curled up in my extended arm, as he often does. After a while he decided he needed a little "dental excercise" and began working his teeth down my arm :eek: The rest of the night was uneventful.

I recently read somewhere that a piece of citrus dropped
in the hot oil will reduce or eliminate the flavor of the food fried.
Mini seedless orange 2-2.5 minutes at 350+F.

Although it kept it's shape the flesh was much reduced volume wise.
Tasted like citrus flavored char with a hint of oil.
Oil still tastes like chicken.

Amphibious landing gear assembly for the C47.:eek:

I read that following the end of WWII, the government tried selling off all the P-38s for $1200 each. The only takers were a few foreign countries. The rest were stacked like Dominoes until scrapped for recycling. The photo of them all lined up on their noses was depressing.

Galveston, TX. Load of wind turbine blades. I believe the country of origin is Denmark. Soon to be trucked inland, erected, in the breeze for 20 years, and buried in a Texas landfill. What a racket.
I read an article last year (?) about recycling turbine blades in the US. Can't remember where and I didn't bookmark it, but there are definitely plans to recycle them.

If those blades in the pic are from Vestas in DK, they have come up with recycling solution.

And Carbon Rivers in Knoxville TN also has a recycling program.

And just this year:
