Phantom 550

Today the city of Bowling Green, Kentucky dedicated Phantom 550 on the 37th anniversary of it shooting down a Mig-21 over North Vietnam. The story of Dan Cherry and Hong My (who was shot down) is a very interesting one featured in Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine.

Easter Egg Cake

I used an old Swan's Down cake recipe as a guide for this Easter Egg Cake. However, as a type II diabetic I used a Pillsbury reduced sugar yellow cake mix for the cake and used sugar free chocolate pudding for the icing. It turned out pretty good.

Full Moon after Vernal Equinox

This is a photo I took of the full moon early this morning. It is the called the full "Pink", "Planter's", "Sprouting Grass", "Egg" and "Fish" moon. Also as the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox it marks the beginning of Passover and Sunday will be Easter (the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox). It also marks potato planting time according to some. It is a great time of the year and we need to enjoy every day regardless of what we call it.
