Saturday9, and a Skywatcher Post. Evening sky last night.

Already Gone

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

 

Saturday 9: Already Gone
(recommended by Diana)


If you're not familiar with today's song, you can hear it here.

1) Eagles lead singer Glenn Frey proclaims that he's "feeling strong." How would you describe yourself this fine Saturday?
I'd have to say that I'm darned tired but it's a good sort of tired.  ;-)

2) The song begins with a rumor: "I heard some people talking just the other other day ..." Have you heard anything juicy/interesting lately? Please share!
Someone besides me has a hankering for tater tots, that delicious little junk food.  I'd like to actually deep fry them if it was possible.  Crrrrrunchy!  

3) When "Already Gone" was popular, the news was dominated by Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal. What do you consider today's top news story?
Nothing of the magnitude of Watergate is going on.  Most of what the Black Ops folks are up to, the beastlies that routinely and covertly terrorized Central and South America, any longer crosses the Media snouts.  That is, unless you listen to the few and the noble ones who know how to dig and still care to reveal such transgressions to the people who actually pay all the bills in the US of A.

4) In the 1970s, Eagles Glenn Frey and Don Henley were at the center of a social circle of very creative people, including singer Linda Ronstadt, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne and actor-comedian Steve Martin. How do you express your creativity?
I sometimes knit, sometimes write and I sometimes I sit and just muse....  But, sometimes I just sits.  =o)

5) Even though they broke up in 1980, the Eagles are currently on a reunion tour, and after knowing each other more than 40 years, Frey and Henley still consider each other friends. What quality to do you value most in a friendship?
The most?  Friendship has many necessary facets in order to stand the test of time.  I don't think I could long be friends with a person who was unkind, though.

6) Are there any mirrors in the room you're in right now?
No.  I don't really like mirrors so we have only a few in the house.

7) What's the last beverage you drank with ice?
Water.  I'm so boring.

8) Whole, skim, 2%, half-and-half, almond or soy ... what kind of milk is in your refrigerator right now?
Chocolate soy milk.  Yummy Stuff!  Maybe I could put it in the blender with a frozen banana?  Hmmmm?  You have given me an idea!

That goes to Russia so I'm not posting a link.. sorry

9) Sam likes to mix sliced almonds into her salad. What do you think makes a good salad?
My favorite chicken salad has walnuts saute'ed with a deglaze from cooking the chicken.  It is the best salad I've ever had at home.  Any sort of tasty nut would do, in fact pine nuts are stellar in that salad, too.  My mother used to make a wilted lettuce salad with crisply cooked bacon, the dressing being made with some of the deglazed drippings from cooking the bacon.  That salad was divine!

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend.

The whole of the sky was aglow with the late evening rays of the sun.

This was one of the most beautiful sunsets since probably the last one I posted taken from down by the Bay.  Skywatcher's Delight!  Friday night sky.. Saturday post.  Enjoy!  Happy Weekend!
