Well... I'm heading down to Chinatown to meet a friend for a late-ish dinner.

Laters...

The weather has been yucky all day. Overcast much of the day, raining buckets when I went to the grocery store, and now, in the late afternoon, the sun has come out and it is beautiful.

FDA REPORTS 21 MORE CASES OF SALMONELLA; PEPPERS, SALSA INGREDIENTS TO BE TESTED

WASHINGTON —
The government on Saturday increased the number of people reported being sickened in a record salmonella outbreak in which tomatoes are the leading suspect although investigators are testing other types of fresh produce.

There have been 943 reported cases nationwide, with at least 130 hospitalizations since mid-April after the first salmonella illnesses appeared, the Food and Drug Administration said Saturday. That compares with a total of 922 people about two days ago and 869 reported earlier in the past week.

The FDA also said it had begun looking at jalapeno peppers as a possible cause of the outbreak, as well as ingredients used to make salsa such as cilantro and Serrano peppers. Tomatoes continue to be investigated as well, spokeswoman Stephanie Kwisnek said.

On Tuesday, the government said it would test numerous other kinds of fresh produce commonly served with fresh tomatoes while insisting that tomatoes remained the leading culprit.

Investigators with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have interviewed people sickened in June to find out what they ate and to compare their diets with those of healthy relatives and neighbors. Officials so far have not revealed early findings, except to say they supported the investigation's new move.

Among the possibilities FDA has said it was exploring is whether tomatoes and other produce are sharing a common packing or shipping site where both might become contaminated, or whether multiple foods might be tainted while being grown on adjoining farms or with common water sources.

Officials have said some patients have told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention they ate raw tomatoes in fresh salsa and guacamole.

CDC spokesman Glen Nowak said Saturday that the agency's scientists are working around the clock to try to pinpoint the source of the outbreak but are not ready to single out anything. Salsa ingredients, including peppers, are among the items being tested, Nowak said. "We don't rank the items we're looking at."

Yesterday, after I got home from the party, I watched BYE BYE BIRDIE - the 1963 movie, not the Jason Alexander disaster. I sitll love that movie, maybe because it brings back so many fond memories of going to the Proctor Theater every Friday night.

Watching it last night, I was rather impressed with Bobby Rydell's dancing abilities, but damn he was skinny.

Then instead of wathcing the fireworks, I watched INDEPENDENCE DAY. I just love that movie (and Adam Bladwin)!

Has anyone ever seen the movie OPERATION: BIKINI? It seems to be a cross between a World War II adventure movie and a Beach Party movie. It stars Frankie Avalon, Tab Hunter, Scott Brady, JIm Backus, and Eva Six(?).

I think I will watch that tomorrow!

Thanks Jane, wish I could take credit for the photo, but it was from our newspaper. The one that I wanted to post, was on the front page yesterday, but for some reason it can't be downloaded.

This is the best I can do about showing the newspaper photo. This is a photo of the HMS Bounty as it sails past Tacoma's Stadium High School.

I went to the paper and found a slide show

Did you go to the slideshow?

I don’t recollect Saturday’s as a special TV day. It must have been because shows I always watched have been named. So far they are SKY KING, FURY, and SUPERMAN.
I found an article that mentions a Saturday morning line-up which included LASSIE, THE LONE RANGER, ROY ROGERS, CISCO KID, HOPALONG CASSIDY, & MY FRIEND FLICKA. These were all shows I watched.

I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons, but I don't remember what any of them were.

DR Jose. Did your parents enjoy the ship?

Took DS Gabe out to get him all supplied for his world travels tomorrow. Got a great deal on a closeout Kodak Easy Share digital camera at Target.

I have this camera, and like it so much that I got one for my mom and brother, too. It's very easy to use, and to post photos on the world-wide interweb!

I hope we'll get to see some of Gabe's photos, too!

I had a busy 4th,so I am just now catching up.

The morning of the 4th there is a huge 10K that runs down Peachtree. This has been going on every 4th of July for over 30 years. I have never been able to attend in the past, but now that we're living in town, the course is only a few blocks from our house!

Here's who Peachtree Street looks like when there are 50,000 people on it: (I didn't take this photo)

After the race, we went to Marietta to meet my mom. It's our tradition to watch the parade together, and then check out the arts and crap booths.

Then we hied ourselves back to Atlanta so I could cook a dish to take to the 4th of July party at the immpecably restored, award-winning Trammell House. It's owned by some dear friends, and we filmed their restoration over the course of 5 years. When it was finished, in preparation for a Preservation Christmas tour, I edited it all together and it was shown during the tour.

I was really happy with how this video turned out, in fact, it is one of my favorite labors of love. The couple has maded over 100 copies of it and I'm about to have to make more. Everyone who sees it always wants a copy. Too bad I can't sell it!

So there was our regular group of friends there plus some interesting new people, including he guy who is the middle east news futurist for CNN. As you can imagine, he was the center of conversation, and had some fascinating insights on Iraq as well as the Soviet Union, where he was assigned for many years.
