    Lake Laverne update

    Replacing concrete at Hilton jog your memory, too? Even squirrels forget where all their old nuts are buried.

    “All Mesa’d Up” (Season 7, Episode 6 — aired June 23, 2026) centers on the team returning to the Mesa and the Bubble, where they uncover new anomalies in drilling data, encounter magnetic interference affecting drones, and make a puzzling discovery suggesting a buried metallic structure beneath...

    "The Nastiest Saloon in Iowa"

    I thought this needed its own thread beyond a summer reading suggestion with its Iowa State connection and Des Moines angle. An Iowa State Grad David P. Donovan pens a true crime work about the dangerous seedy world of early Des Moines. "Wickedest place in the wickedest section of Des Moines”...

    Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?

    Mince Meat is okay, reminds me of pecan pie--kinda super sweet, in my opinion.

    Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?

    Never had Gooseberry pie (did you know Kiwi's are just big Goose berries). This jogged my memory of Ground Cherry pie. Ground Cherry is a small orange-yellow super sweet tomato. It makes surprisingly good dessert.

    Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?

    Temp is 350 degrees, and I used five large lozenge-shaped red hot candies. That may translate to maybe less than a 1/4 cup of the small bead type red hots which seem a bit hard to locate locally--maybe on-line? Thamks!

    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    So hard to read this without tears burning my eyes. I may not be a lot of things, but my love of our great companion is one that defines me. My B-I-L just texted, his sweet girl Pearl just passed. Good little rescue pup.

    Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?

    Made it again on Sunday. I ate two pieces while they were still warm with ice cream—awesome. I had another piece just now at room temperature (plain). Wow, so good. I think the recipe is spot on; using ripe strawberries helps too. I also think a dash of cloves, allspice, and/or nutmeg could make...
