A Day Late…

Posted Fri Dec 22, 2006 in Science

Many times when we’re out and about we’ll pick up a bite to eat somewhere in town. Sometimes, when we’re around town snagging some food, or on the road snagging some food, I’ll make an image of it to share. In fact, Daughter sometimes chides me because their selection of fine eating establishments in Fairbanks, Alaska is not exactly large. So, as a way of teasing her, just a little bit, I’m posting an image of a BLT (and cheese) I had at a small diner in Minden, Nevada.

Wife and I had been running all morning looking at houses and apartments to gain some insight into what was available. It had been a long time since breakfast. So, I saw a diner (Woodett’s I think) we’d passed several times traveling U.S. 395 through town. I decided to stop. I like local food, most of the time.

It was good. The fries were marvelous. Wife cheated, just a little, and snuck a few of my fries from me. I slapped her hand, of course.

Of course I forgot yesterday was 21 December 2006, the Winter Solstice. I try to remember the seasonal demarcations and mention them here. They are an ancient way of marking time and I enjoy the celebration thereof. So, Happy Solstice Day, a day late (and a dollar short)...
