(thanks to Diane Gettner). http://www.greatcamps.com/pie-iron-dinners-recipes-contest-7.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An interesting nautical tidbit (thanks to Diane Gettner): Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning
Variation:
The evening red and morning gray Are sure signs of a fine day, But the evening gray and the morning red, Makes the sailor shake his head.
These expressions have some basis in meteorological fact. In the mid latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, storms generally travel with the jetstream from west to east. A red sky in the morning may indicate that is rising in clear eastern skies and casting its rays on storm clouds approaching from the west. A red sky at sunset indicates clouds to the east, with clear skies moving in from the west, allowing the sunset to be seen. **************************************************************************
Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" ************************************************************************** The following link is to a webpage entitled "THE NAUTICAL ORIGINS OF SOME COMMON EXPRESSIONS". Very interesting!!!! http://www.fortogden.com/nauticalterms.html **************************************************************** Below is the official Y-KNOT BOAT CLUB SONG (thank you Diane Gettner for forwarding this to me) Y-KNOT BOAT CLUB SONG (to the tune of the Notre Dame fight song) Hail, hail, Y-knot Boat Club We'll drink you under, it can be done.
