Good morning

 

[oldmxrat]

Today is our 32nd wedding anniversary! Lucky to have met my soulmate and life partner so many years ago, we’ve seen some good ones and some not so good ones, got two kids that we wish better for, and I’m just grateful to be where I am with who I’m with!

Congrats Steve!

Mornin all.

A deep history but who among a variety of things started the Friday song tradition.

[Ed picked a song by Jonathan Edwards called “Shanty” as “the Friday song,” kicking off every weekend with it when he worked every day. WLAV still plays the song on Fridays to signal the arrival of another weekend, and it’s fitting that we play it again today.]

Yes, it’s true!

The "Old Man of the Lake" is a famous floating tree stump in Crater Lake, located in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA

. It is about 30 feet tall and has been floating vertically in the lake for over 120 years. Here’s how it became known:
First Noticed (1896): The Old Man was first seen and documented in 1896 , making it one of the earliest recorded observations of this unique natural wonder.
Scientific Study (1902): In 1902 , a scientist named Joseph S. Diller studied Crater Lake and wrote about the floating stump. He explained how the stump could float because air was trapped inside its hollowed-out interior.
Named (1906): In 1906 , another man named William Gladstone Steel gave the stump its name, "Old Man of the Lake." Steel was very interested in protecting Crater Lake as a national park. He noticed that the stump moved around the lake due to wind and water currents and thought it looked like an old man standing in the water.
Since then, the Old Man has become a symbol of Crater Lake's beauty and mystery. Despite being mostly made of hemlock wood, it continues to float upright, surprising and fascinating visitors from all over the world. Its ability to remain vertical for over 120 years makes it one of nature's most intriguing phenomena.

She is stable and will be in 2-4 days. When she fell outside she hurt her hip which swelled up. They discovered internal bleeding so as soon as it’s under control she will be released. Thanks for asking

Hi guys. I offended some people a while back not meaning to. Apologies to any I did. Took a break. Will try a new filter on my mouth but can't guarantee it will work though.
