( Monday NO PO) Today is Nat'l CheeseburgerDay, Nat'l Air Force Birthday , and World Bamboo Day

Well, the other day was DBL cheeseburger, today it is just the regular one, which I do love if made correctly with good ground beef...

I always thought the Air Force was the coolest Military division...I love planes and jets and flying and think all the newer fighters etc. are awesome

Bamboo seems to be really popular these days and I guess it is good environmentally and as a replacement for other materials...

Bamboo has got to be the most versatile plant in the world. You can make nearly anything out of it, from flooring to cutting boards to bed-linens to toilet paper. Some varieties grow faster than any tree in the world, and yet are far stronger than any fast growing tree. Their fast growth makes them excellent carbon sinks, and the detritus that accumulates under the plants makes for excellent water retention. There are varieties that will grow in most climates and it is easy to propagate. The raw material is extremely strong in compression and tension, yet flexible and durable in flexion. If you want to know what to grow after the apocalypse, bamboo is a good choice

and there's a plus, bamboo worms. Bamboo being the subject I pulled up some videos and discovered bamboo worms in the bamboo evidently quite delicious deep fried or eaten on the spot. Oriental cuisine is so varied and interesting
question of the day - are there McDonald's in India
?

I checked out McDonald's and throughout Texas and California they do have a sandwich called the Mcplant - no meat whatsoever
