Notice the spelling “refeshing.” – Sandra Walker
Sandra Walker is an American watercolorist living in the UK who paints fading ads. Here is one of the working snapshots she took while touring the US scouting for signs. The Omega Oil sign was also one of her works. An example of her Quaker Oats ad from DC is also posted on this blog.

Kitchen Grease Fire Prevention Video
I received this forward from my friend and fellow educator Estelle and I am posting this [almost] verbatim.
This video is pretty impressive. Well worth the time to watch it. Pass it on – you could save a life.
This video is only 34 seconds long but if you’re ever in this situation it will save your kitchen, house and most of all your life, if you follow the advice. Watch this video and learn what not to use (and what to do)to put out a grease fire. At the Charleston Navy base at the Fire Fighting Training school- they demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.
The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembles a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.
Also do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

Pesky Rodent – Am I Crazy for Feeling Horrible?
© Frank H. Jump
It has been a really bad year for mice. Well, good for them but bad for us up in the Poconos. We bought the “humane” traps but since we aren’t there as often as we would like, those traps seem worse since they are trapped in a plastic box without water for days on end until they die of starvation. We found one victim and I was so upset I tried to nurse it back to health but to no avail.
© Frank H. Jump
The snap traps seem more humane since they usually die quickly. Can’t help feeling guilty about killing them. I justify it by their destruction of our food stores and the disease risk they pose since my immune system doesn’t need any further challenges. Don’t mind our bats since they eat mosquitos, but my matzo ball soup mix is verboten Mickey! Heard it was your birthday on November 18. Don’t be mad at me! And don’t tell Topo Gigio either.
