Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Dave - 06-30-2026 A Happy Taco Tuesday to us all. I have some very hot sausage to use, so maybe  I'll throw together some small soft tacos with that sausage, Mexican crema (kinda like a liquid sour cream, some mild peppers, lettuce, cheese , and diced tomato. I'm continuing to process some of the old photos I  rediscovered on CDs. Today's is of two Northern Shovelers (the only decent photo I have of these photogenic birds - love that golden eye), taken 2006-02-02 at the eastern edge of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, much of which has been replaced by expensive houses)...     Interesting World Cup games yesterday. I had given Japan a 25% chance to upset Brazil, and they nearly pulled it off. I had expected Germany to struggle to beat Paraguay, but Paraguay win after OT  and penalty kicks. For the last 3 or 4 World Cups Germany has been knocked out early. And I expected the Netherlands vs Morocco match to be a close one. Morocco ended up winning on PKs. In today's matches, the Ivory Coast vs Norway looks to be a close match; I'm rooting for Ivory Coast to win. Next, France (#3) should easily beat Sweden (#38). And Mexico (#13) should comfortably handle Ecuador (#24). RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Rich - 06-30-2026 Taco's sound good Dave! Enjoy! Excellent photo! The golden eye does grab your attention! Hope all who see this enjoy a special  Independence Day Holiday! RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Dave - 06-30-2026 Thanks Rich. Excellent photo spotlighting the great "corn art"! If this from a previous year or is it the current display? RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Rich - 06-30-2026 Current Dave, for the 250 Birthday of our country. RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Dave - 06-30-2026 Thanks for the response. Rich. Every year I'm very impressed with the artistic vision and creativity of the talented folks who adorn your Corn Palace. RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Man From Ironbark - 07-01-2026 Sounds like you have all your ducks in a row. RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Dave - 07-01-2026 Nice one, MFI. Good job with what looks to have been in challenging lighting conditions. The water dripping from the bill is a nice touch. RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Man From Ironbark - 07-01-2026 Thanks Dave. These are Pacific Black Ducks. RE: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Rich - 07-01-2026 Thanks Dave, they do a good job! Peter, I agree with Dave, well done!
