R.I.P. Maverick

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Dave Taft

As an Arizona native I’ve had mixed feelings about John McCain’s policies over the years though have found a new respect for him these past few. John McCain served his country, not just himself. R.I.P. and Godspeed John.

The Scent of Play-Doh

Posted on May 18, 2018 by Dave Taft

Hasbro has trademarked the scent of Play-Doh: “a sweet, slightly musky, vanilla fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, combined with the smell of a salted, wheat-based dough”. I wonder if a Play-Doh fragrance is in the works? 🙄

Tombs of the Nobles

Posted on December 26, 2017 by Dave Taft

Images on the walls of the Tombs of the Nobles at the Thebean Necropolis near Luxor. The colors were just amazing. Guides were allowed to accompany us in these Tombs. The tomb guardians were so funny. NO PHOTOS ALLOWED signs were posted. The minute we got in they “suggested” we take a few pic…but don’t tell our guide…and give them some backsheesh (tips). A good time was had by all.

Prague Food Tour

Posted on May 26, 2017 by Dave Taft

Spent the day in Prague on a food tour. Six stops with so many tasty treats. Gingerbread and other sweets, open face sandwiches, meats and sausages, sauerkraut soup, rosemary lamb with potatoes, black current wine, beef with bread dumplings and cream sauce, local beer and finished up with apple strudel. Yummy!
