Morning Zurich Mike. Great breakfast! Bacon Blondies – WOW! Is this from a bacon and bourbon festival recipe? There’s a whole world of bacon recipes out there. Here is a recipe I was going to wait for Friday to post, but since you’re here for Sunday Brunch:
Good Ol’ Bacon Bloody Mary
The Capeta is a cocktail famous in Northeastern Brazil. Capeta translates to little devil, and it is named as such due to this cocktail’s ability to turn a classy cocktail party into an all-night rager.
Ingredients
1 1/2 ounce Ol’ Major Bacon Bourbon
3 ounce Ol’ Major Bacon Bloody Mary Mix
(1 teaspoon of horseradish, if preferred)
Ol’ Major Maple Bacon Salt to Rim the Glass
1 stick bacon to garnish (Well-cooked, left to dry on a paper towel)
Combine Ol’ Major Bacon Bourbon, Ol’ Major Bacon Bloody Mary Mix, and horseradish (if desired) in a shaker. Stir, then gently swirl until ingredients are well mixed.
Using Ol’ Major Maple Bacon Salt, rim a large glass or mason jar.
Pour into the mason jar or glass and garnish with a piece of thoroughly cooked and fairly dry bacon. Enjoy!
Glad to hear you are busy and doing well 🙂

I was at Space Command from mid-to-late 90s, it was a joint command but AF was host.

Didn’t matter what service you were in, you were Air Force while there. They were the main reason I couldn’t make E-9 though, in a stroke of irony, an AF 0-6 said he’d get me an E-9 promotion if I switched back to the AF. After over 20 years with the Army there was no way the AF and I would be comfortable with each other.

Hello, boys and girls! Today we have some interesting tidbits with some general weirdness, and a touch of SMH stuff. Enjoy!
Today in (Mostly) American History: April 2
1513 Explorer Juan Ponce de León claims Florida for Spain as the first known European to reach Florida Near present-day St. Augustine, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon comes ashore on the Florida coast, and claims the territory for the Spanish crown. Although other European navigators may have sighted the Florida peninsula before, Ponce de Leon is credited with the first recorded landing and the first detailed exploration of the Florida coast. The Spanish explorer was searching for the “Fountain of Youth,” a fabled water source that was said to bring eternal youth. Successful Spanish colonization of the peninsula finally began at St. Augustine in 1565, and in 1819 the territory passed into U.S. control under the terms of the Florida Purchase Treaty between Spain and the United States.
1792 The Coinage Act is passed establishing the United States Mint and authorizing the $10 Eagle, $5 half-Eagle & 2.50 quarter-Eagle gold coins & silver dollar, ½ dollar, quarter, dime & half-dime.
1805 Hans Christian Andersen is born. Andersen was a failed playwright who had moderate success with a single novel. He entertained himself by writing a series of children’s stories that he published as collections. The first, “Tales Told for Children”, (1835) included “The Princess and the Pea.” Andersen released new collections every year or two for decades as he traveled widely in Europe, Africa, and Asia Minor

1863 [Civil War] Richmond , VA Food Riots Responding to acute food shortages, hundreds of angry women, demanding that the government release emergency supplies. For several hours, the mob moved through the city, breaking windows and looting stores. Confederate President Davis ordered the crowd to disperse or he would order the militia to fire upon them. The riot ended peacefully, although 44 women and 29 men were arrested.
1865 [Civil War] President Jefferson Davis flees the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia. Confederate troops could no longer maintain the 40-mile network of defenses that ran from southwest of Petersburg to north of Richmond, the Rebel capital 25 miles north of Petersburg. Through the winter, desertion and attrition melted Lee’s army down to less than 60,000, while Grant’s army swelled to over 120,000. Grant attacked Five Forks southwest of Petersburg on April 1, scoring a huge victory that cut Lee’s supply line and inflicted 5,000 casualties. Grant’s men attacked all along the Petersburg front. In the predawn hours, hundreds of Federal cannon roared to life as the Yankees bombarded the Rebel fortifications. At 5:00 in the morning, Union troops silently crawled toward the Confederates, shrouded in darkness. Confederate pickets alerted the troops, and the Yankees were raked by heavy fire, but the determined troops poured forth and began overrunning the trenches. Four thousand Union troops were killed or wounded, but a northern officer wrote, “It was a great relief, a positive lifting of a load of misery to be at last let at them.” By nightfall, President Davis and the Confederate government were in flight and Richmond was on fire.

1902 Esther Morris, the first woman judge in American history, dies in Cheyenne, Wyoming. At 55 she moved to Wyoming Territory from New York state with her second husband, who opened a saloon in the gold mining camp of South Pass City. She was hardly a radical advocate for women’s rights, and her appointment as Justice of the Peace for 9 months (to fill an open seat) was more a matter of politics than the desire to make an inroad for women’s rights. The year she arrived in Wyoming, a territorial representative introduced a bill giving women the right to vote and hold public office. To both promote Wyoming Territory and attract more women settlers, the all-male legislature passed the bill, making Wyoming the first territory or state in American history to enfranchise women. After Morris’ term ended, she retired from politics. When later asked about the issue of women’s suffrage, Morris replied that women would do well to leave the matter in the hands of men. Like many women of the time, Morris supported women’s rights, but she believed a gradual approach would prove most successful

In his address to Congress that day, Wilson lamented it is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war. Four days later, Congress obliged and declared war on Germany. In February and March 1917, Germany, embroiled in war with Britain, France and Russia, increased its attacks on neutral shipping in the Atlantic and offered, in the form of the so-called Zimmermann Telegram, to help Mexico regain Texas, New Mexico and Arizona if it would join Germany in a war against the United States. The public outcry against Germany buoyed President Wilson in asking Congress to abandon America’s neutrality to make the world safe for democracy.

1972 Charlie Chaplin (Born 1889) returns to the United States after two decades. He swore never to return to the US when, in 1952, when he was advised he would be denied a re-entry visa amid questions about his leftist politics. Bitter and angry, Chaplin vowed never to return to the United States. He moved with his family to Switzerland, and vowed to never make another American film. While the anti-Communist fervor and Chaplin’s antagonistic relationship with the US government died down slowly in the interim, but Chaplin agreed to return to the US in 1972 to accept an honorary Academy Award. As his wife guided him by the elbow to a waiting limousine, he blew kisses to the crowd. He was honored in a Lincoln Center (NYC). Four days later, the 82 year old Chaplin received a 12-minute-long standing ovation from the audience in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion that night, and was visibly moved as he accepted the award, which honored “the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century.”

Red Rum remains the most successful horse in the history of the Grand National, which is considered by many to be the world’s toughest steeplechase race. His moniker was derived from the last three letters of the names of his dam and sire, Mared and Quorum. [On a side note, Stephen King’s wildly popular horror novel “The Shining” has a 5 year old character named Danny Torrence, who has psychic abilities, and who keeps repeating “redrum, redrum”. Redrum is murder spelled backwards, to the horrified reader’s discovery. “The Shining” was also published in 1977.]

1979 Anthrax poisoning kills 62 in Russia The world’s first anthrax epidemic begins in Ekaterinburg, Russia (now Sverdlosk), on this day in 1979. By the time it ended six weeks later, 62 people were dead. Another 32 survived serious illness. Ekaterinburg, as the town was known in Soviet times, also suffered livestock losses from the epidemic. As people in Ekaterinburg first began reporting their illnesses, the Soviet government announced that the cause was tainted meat that the victims had eaten. Since the town was known in intelligence circles for its biological-weapons plant, much of the rest of the world was immediately skeptical of the Soviet explanation. It was not until 13 years later, in 1992, that the epidemic was finally explained: workers at the Ekaterinburg weapons plant failed to replace a crucial filter, causing a release of anthrax spores into the outside air.
In 2001, anthrax spores were used as a weapon of terror in the United States. Spores were mailed to media organizations and members of the U.S. Senate. Five people died and another 13 were infected, but survived. The investigation into who was responsible is ongoing.

In the wake of the conviction, the assistant director of the FBI’s New York office, James Fox, was quoted as saying, “The don is covered in Velcro, and every charge stuck.” On June 23 of that year, Gotti was sentenced to life in prison, dealing a significant blow to organized crime.

Got distracted trying to get stuff before the storm:
1979: remember my saying here and next door that the Russians were mass producing bio weapons that could be loaded onto ICBM warheads? This plant was producing anthrax for that purpose – they weed making thousands of gallons and this was a major release, we aren’t talking a water glass full. Our good bud Yeltsin was an official there at the time and played a big part in the cover up.
Plans, equipment and (rumored) some of the early bio weapons team were from the WWII Japanese biowar facility at Ping Fan that the Russians captured. US captured some of the scientists too and, like the Nazi killers who served a purpose, pardoned them and brought them to the US to work on our bio/chem war programs. Plant is still ALLEGEDLY active in producing bio weapons.

Can I say it? I can still taste it. We were attached to an arty unit (ladtbtowed 155s west of the Mississippi) and that’s where we did the local shoots.

I was in Vietnam for that but we heard about it years later at the base. I can remember having to be in MOPP gear just to walk on parts of that place.
Dugway and Tooele had so many weapons storage sites that before I left Utah Congress allocated millions so that the DoD could find bunkers that were lost and inventory them and known ones to find what was actually in them. In one they found a pallet of chemical weapons shells with a couple of shells that had been repainted from dummy/inert to active chemical shells. Loojed ad if someone ‘lost’ a couple of war gas howitzer shells and repainted some to make up the inventory.

I remember hearing the first terms “biological war” around that time. Doesn’t Anthrax seem like a ‘tame’ type of biowarfare when you consider some of the designer organisms that can be created these days?
Have no doubt that what you say is entirely true. It doesn’t make any difference to the government how evil a tool is, if it is capable of producing a new generation of killing and maiming capability.

As to the ‘tameness’ it all depends upon what you’re planning on doing. The Russians were making a particularly nasty strain of it there and ALLRGEDLY are making even nastier and antibiotic resistant strains of it there now.
Russians needed an edge at the Kursk tank battle and it’s ALLEGED that they beat the Germans by spreading tularemia in the German ranks. The anthrax made at the Yeketerinburg plant was made to be dropped on US cities which had already been nuked, along with smallpox, to make sure survivors…didn’t. When you’re looking at a city nuked and survivors dazed, without supplies or medical treatment immediately available and immune systems compromised by radiation, a virulent anthrax works just fine. There’s also storage and the anthrax spores last almost indefinately under the right conditions. Inhaled anthrax is also a nasty thing.
The bioengineered weapons scare the hell out of me as there are some engineered to be almost impossible to treat. There’s also the question of, if they get out into the environment, will they mutate even further on their own. And it’s not only the governments but look at how many biotech companies are making superbugs as they try to guess where certain diseases are heading when/if they mutate.
Stuff that makes me shiver are what we called ‘5th generation’ weapons that bridge the biological-chemical weapons wall, bio regulators. They are manmade chemicals-hormones that regulate bodoly functions. Wanna give a bunch of people heart attacks? Cancer? You name the bodily function you want to screw up and…
Yeah, but each of your daily history threads is relatively excellent and gives a lot of us things to think about.

Holy cow, czar – that information puts me way past the waked-up point. I haven’t actually thought about bio-weapons for a while; my knowledge has dropped way off since I did my Emergency Management reading back in the day. I thought Stephen King’s “The Stand” did more than anything else to give the general public even a clue as to the damage those bugs could do. (Kind of pendantic connection to make given your knowledgable information, to be sure.) The possibilities of the extent of harm are endless, and we’ll be in deep trouble if they fall into the ‘wrong hands’ – and I use ‘wrong’ while SMH.

Anyway, I’ve been out of the game for ten years so you can guess what yummy things may have been developed in the mean, and I do mean ‘mean’ time. I remember having a discussion with a drunk about a theory of finding a way for pathogens to be programmed to center on certain genetic things such as hair color, skin color…..
Thing is that it ain’t all that hard to do bioengineering any more, a bad guy could set up a company and buy relatively inexpensive equipment to play Build a Bug. You can bet with its present status of making so much of the world’s drugs that China has a vibrant biowar program buried in it. The US no longer has an overt offensive biowar program but does have a defensive one…however, in order to have a defensive program you have to make superbugs that you believe potential enemies are making so you can defend against them. The difference is what you do with that bottle of bugs in your hand.

Here is a fun bacon recipe for today
Bacon Jam
Yield 1 3/4 cups
Ingredients
1 lb smoked bacon, (or use regular bacon and liquid smoke)
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium brown onion, sliced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
1⁄4 cup maple syrup
black pepper
??? 1 cup brewed coffee ??? (I have no idea why coffee is added, but it may go well with the smoke flavor)
Tabasco sauce (optional and according to taste, do not add so much it overpowers the other flavors)
extra water
Directions
Slice bacon into small pieces. Fry the bacon in batches to keep from sticking together until it is lightly browned and beginning to crisp. (Or perhaps cut bacon in half, cook in pan one half at a time to make sure bacon fat is rendered out, then crumble by hand)
Add the onion and garlic into the rendered bacon and fat and fry on medium heat until translucent.
Transfer the bacon, onion and garlic into a heavy based cast iron pot and add the rest of the ingredients except for the water.
Simmer for 2 hours adding 1/4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.
When ready, cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor. Pulse for 2-3 seconds so that you leave some texture to the “jam” or keep mixing to make it a smoother and more paste like.
Serve on your favorite burger, grilled cheese, as an appetizer on crusty bread. The possibilities are endless.
Enjoy! 🙂

About 30 years ago my dad had a set of about 12 thin books, one of which on the cover had a painting of Indians on horseback running through the desert. The main colors were white, tan and blue with a little red. Unknown to me he gave the set away, and I’ve looked for that painting ever since. The set had many paintings by famous artists such as Remington and Sargent, although I don’t necessarily think the painting I’m looking for was Remington. I think it was by one of the other famous western painters. Searching for this painting is what started me going to all the painting websites.

Weed, you need the Lightning Camera app, look for it! It works!
Hold it up, it takes pics at 1/10s increments for the last 6 or whatever seconds, in a loop (there’s a slider for seconds). You can adjust the light sensitivity with another slider.
When YOU see lightning (or even a flash! I’ve caught bolts that I didn’t even see…) just tap the screen and it shows you the last 60 frames. You can then check-box which of the last 60 (or so) frames you want to save. It is a phenomenal thing, considering the money you would have to spend to take lightning pics even 15 years ago.

I watched the Tapper Schiff interview with the same kind of self satisfaction that roadrunner must feel every time Wylie E. Coyote plummets off of a cliff. We are living through the rise of the illegitimate brain.
Fascinating verbal gymnastics and self assurances were exchanged between Tapper and the other Democrat Sycophant Adam Schiff. It was amazing!
Here is a my interpretation of the horse and pony show;
Tapper “Please, please tell us there is nothing in the documents to hurt Obama even though it has taken you 36 hours to tell us there was nothing there!”
Schiff ”Well I can’t talk about the documents themselves so I’m just going to obfuscate because it looks really really bad so I’ll just say I don’t agree with Nune’s facts and I hate Trump.”
Then Schiff apparently not wanting to lose out on the most Monty Python like skit on live television went on a rant about how the only way the White House could show him the exact documents that Nune’s saw was if the White House showed the exact documents to Nunes.
Now who would believe that there was no recored of the documents that Nune’s viewed? Oh yes liberals 🙄.
Tapper then went on to ask basically if Nune’s was part of the Great Trump Russian Conspiracy.
Really nothing I could come up with is more ludicrous than Schiffs real answer.
Schiff “It certainly is an attempt distract or to hide the origin of the materials, the question is of course why and the answer is of course to point the congress in different directions and basically say don’t look at me don’t look at Russia, there’s nothing to see here. You know I would tell people whenever they see the president use the word fake it ought to set off alarm bells and I think that is really what is going on here.”
Tapper But Obama did nothing wrong, right! ?
Schiff ”I can’t talk about that. I am trying to distract the public by telling them that President Trump is trying to distract them from Russia. There is nothing to see in the unmasking investigation nothing to see in the surveillance I’m not pointing at Trump and Russia to distract from felonious behavior by the Obama administration. I am not! ”
Tapper “Collusion, Trump Russia, Collusion, Trump, Russia!!!!” Also do you have any news on Obama’s next Peace Prize?”
Schiff ”I got nothing for you Jake. But Russia is going to try and get more people who will stop globalists from getting elected by revealing their true intents to the voters and this is serious business!”
If you tell a lie long enough and loud enough it is still a lie. Go to hell Schiff and Tapper you filthy, spineless, dangerous, sycophants.
