Who turned 947 feet of building into a rocket (and when) ? And which building can now claim the title of tallest building between Philadelphia and Chicago? Even more important, which building is now the 34th tallest building in the United States?
Edited in at 11:37 hrs. E.D.T.
There are multiple different positions on various lists for “rocket building;” I’m not even sure now about “Philadelphia and Chicago.”
I also didn’t know that Cleveland had filled in Lake Erie out that far.
DO NOT PUSH comes to the screen! At last, in this latest illustration of Claude’s irresistible urge to PUSH it anyway, he doesn’t get punched, whacked, worm-holed, shanghai-ed, miniaturized, time-traveled, or given a swirlie. He merely sends a small town’s worth of people into space with no spacesuits, equipment, or training.
I didn’t find anything in “StelBel’s Stuff,” but that link is only a selection.
I did find a publishing date for “TDIF !” from 2013. It’s been used with various captions.
Good find! I remembered using it, but couldn’t remember for what! I thought it might have been “War for the Planet of the Bassets” from 7.13 2017. That was similar but not exact.

I’m guilty of inobservance.
Either StelBel reversed the dog or “TDIF” did.
“The Whining” is indeed in “Stelbel’s Stuff,” and the dog is easily recognized when , to express Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in another manner, observed and not just seen.
Thanks for the offer, but I do have it. I try to save all my work. Sometimes, though, I don’t file something where it should be, so I can’t find it. That’s the case with stuff around the house, as well…

LOBSTER NEWBURG
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 pint light cream (1/2 & 1/2 10% milk fat) or 2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups boiled lobster meat
3 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup sherry
1 teaspoon salt
Cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup chopped green pepper
Parsley
Combine butter and cream. Heat to just below boiling and add lobster. Continue over low heat until lobster meat is hot — do not let it boil. Stir a little hot cream into the
egg yolks. Then stir egg-yolk mixture into lobster. Blend in sherry, add salt and season
to taste with cayenne pepper or Tabasco. Let thicken over low heat, stirring constantly.
Serve on wedges of toast. Dust with paprika and garnish with chopped parsley.
P.S. Shrimp or crab meat may be cooked this way with most gratifying results. Makes 6 servings
6pm-ish California time… Just came back to check in and discovered it’s already tomorrow in Cleoland… er… Cleoveland?…. Cleveland.
I missed most of today cos I got up earlier than usual to get ready for a doctor’s appointment…. then it got cancelled at the last minute cos the doctor was sick.
So I took a nap.
…
Stel… I forgot to say I answered you late yesterday about Paul Newman… But now you won’t see this either…. Sigh.
And I also recognised the hound from The Whining… But I didn’t think I should mention your secret.

“I’m still not seeing what you’re looking at.”
For what it’s worth, the song title is not “Stop Children, What’s That Sound.”
That’s right! “FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH” IS the title!
And it’s yet another anthem….
whose time, alas, seems to have returned.
“Nobody’s right, if everybody’s wrong.”
in the jungle,
the quiet jungle,
the tigers prowl tonight…
Sweet kitties!
Who, or what, would be willing to tangle with a family of tigers?

There are three versions of the medal.
The logo of the “NATIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR MUSEUM” is a link to its article about them.
Easier clean up than knocking it down…

I do have a pretty good memory for pictures and have saved lots of stuff from sherpa-times.
Just tell me if you want me to email that one to you.
