They said it couldn't ever happen, and lookie here: it DID!
My fair and frantic Baltimore is the kind of place where someone spots a car on the light rail tracks but is too cool to say anything about it.
Her real name was Martha Jane Canary, but she packed a lot of living in those 47 years as a frontierswoman, sharpshooter, and storyteller. A friend of Buffalo Bill Cody, she appeared in his Wild West Shows, demonstrating her handiness with a gun and spinning yarns for the audience. She got the Calamity nickname for helping to quell a Native American battle in what is now Sheridan, Wyoming, in 1873.
The hazards of the fire spreading and the air pollution it causes helped bring an end to the old custom of burning leaves, but for those who never had the chance to play along, trust me, nothing smells better than those burning leaves.
We used to have an old-fashioned hardware store near us, the kind with nail buckets and clerks who could cut you a duplicate house key and mix a gallon of paint while he was on the phone with someone looking for a chainsaw chain. They tore it down and we wound up with a CVS now closed. Progress backwards.
One of the natural wonders of the sea is the Stickfish, known by science as
Coregonus nasus. This is the only species of fish that is born in rectangular shape, without skin, but with a tasty breading, ready for Friday school lunch as "fish sticks."
To you and me it looks like a Swedish prison cell, but this is actually an apartment in London, available today for single occupancy for someone with but minimal furnishing requirements.
I have to be honest: I am so crazy about Awkwafina that I would watch her make a grilled cheese sandwich or fold her laundry, if someone filmed her. She and Sandra Oh are out with a fun comedy on Hulu right now. It's called Quiz Lady and it gets four hearty thumbs up from me and the missus.
If Cracker Barrel had a gate, it would look like this!
Ever feel like this as you start a new day/week/job/relationship? It's OK to come out of your shell.
So you come out of the water, dripping wet, no glasses on, and all you know is, your glasses, towel, t-shirt, magazine and Yeti are up there under that blue and white umbrella.
