At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost.

...looking out the window as the snow falls here in the Pacific Northwest. Not a lot but coming in fits and starts. Just a scattering of flakes as the sun is trying desperately to burn though. No hopes of any accumulation for the ground. The big Maple across from me was a huge yellow splotch of color two days ago. Today it has a scattering of its leaves and hundred bare branches. Guess winter is knocking.

Just tell Ms Bumps that the secret to REAL chicken noodle soup is to make sure that you've put the chicken feet in for the entire multi hour cooking cycle.
