Thirsty Thursday and almost to the weekend. Today I am taste testing Silver Bullet Blend #1, I have a total of 4 to taste test. This stuff is GOOD. When I decide which sample wins, it will be included in the 6lb and an OZ Silver package. I chat about our summer plans, a little roadblock and I made a connection with my mood and the air conditioner. I lead off with The Perfect Cup Question “DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE IN A SIX WORD SENTENCE?” followed up by LOTS Of History prepared by Pip over at Ducktioncups.com.

May 18th
Happy Friday-eve humans and welcome to the LOTS of history segment
(Dunno, does that name work for the segment? I still get a laugh at the nugs of history, but anyway)
- 1933 – New Deal: President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs an act, creating the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The programs focused on what historians refer to as the “3 R’s”: relief for the unemployed and for the poor,
recovery of the economy back to normal levels,
and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression.

In 1952, went to challenge the world speed record for women.
She tried to borrow an F-86 from the U.S. Air Force, but was refused.
She was introduced to an Air Vice-Marshal of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) who,
with the permission of the Canadian Minister of Defence, arranged for her to borrow 19200,
the sole Sabre 3. Canadair sent a 16-man support team to California for the attempt.

- 1980 – Mount St. Helens erupts in Washington, United States,
killing 57 people and causing $3 billion in damage.
The Mount St. Helens major eruption of May 18, 1980 remains the deadliest and
most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history.
200 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed.
A massive debris avalanche, triggered by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake, caused a lateral eruption
that reduced the elevation of the mountain’s summit from 9,677 ft (2,950 m) to 8,363 ft (2,549 m),
leaving a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater
