  - jim Young “I love bacon. Sometimes I eat it twice a day. It helps take my mind off the terrible chest pains I keep getting.” - anon  Vegetarians and vegans aside, who doesn’t like bacon? I know people that would wrap a couple of slices around a scoop of ice cream if they could find a way to deep fry it without melting the ice cream. Or maybe they have found a way by now. Fortunately there are a lot of easier methods to get your bacon/ice cream fix such as simply buying Bacon Ice Cream. If you’re looking for recipes that are a little less traditional than your usual bacon and egg breakfast, a quick google will return recipes for a bounty of bacon based bites such as bacon sushi, chocolate covered bacon, bacon milkshakes, bacon wrapped dates or bacon weave apple pie. Personally, I am a bit more of a traditionalist and I prefer to eat my bacon with a couple of fried eggs. Wrapped around a wiener filled with cheese or on top of a juicy hamburger are also a couple of my favourite stand

- jim Young A lot of the changes are so gradual that they don't even qualify as news, or even as interesting: they're so mundane that we just take them for granted. - Robert D. Kaplan As we drove along Highway 522 today I noticed several of the guard rail posts along the way had been replaced. The new posts stood out like a sore thumb mixed in amongst the older weathered ones. It was raining heavily which brought my attention to the need for these guard rails. What if a chipmunk or deer decided to cross the road in front of me, leading me into an unexpected out of control skid? I was happy to see the new posts as it was reassuring that someone was taking notice of their condition and replacing the damaged and weak ones proactively. Then I wondered how long it would take for the new posts to weather and change colour until they blended in with the older ones? Newly replaced guard rail posts on Highway 522 near Port Loring, Ontario 2023 It’s funny how some changes in life are so

 

- jim Young "If you can say, 'It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht', Then yer a'rict , ye ken." - Sir Harry Lauder, G. Grafton and W. Cunliffe Many young people today may have never heard a “78 rpm record” played, but they will at least likely know what it is. Oddly enough, their great-grandparents, who actually listened to them on the other hand, probably wouldn’t have known what you were talking about in their day if you called it that. 78s were just known as “records” until after World War II when there was a need to distinguish between them and the newly introduced 33 ⅓ rpm record. Shortly after, came the 45 rpm and the elusive 16 ⅔ rpm records. Each has their own story but my story today is about the old 78 rpm records. Fun Facts About The 78 rpm Early 78 rpm records spun at a wide variety of speeds until 1910 when they generally rotated between 78 and 80 rpm. 78.26 rpm was finally chosen as a standard in 1925 when motorized phonographs were introduced.
