8 crayon flavors Marines would actually enjoy eating

There are a few simple truths in life: The Earth is round. The Sun is hot. Humans need oxygen to breathe. And Marines love to eat crayons.

No one is quite sure where or how that last fact came to be, but as far back as contemporary lore goes, nary a devil dog can say they haven’t heard at least one joke about their beloved Corps being full of colorful wax-snack eaters.

Full article, with ‘selections’ HERE at Marine Times.

And before you laugh too hard, there really ARE edible crayons out there… Crayons Ready to Eat is one such company, link HERE. And you CAN color with them, or eat them, your choice…LOL

Bonus is that CRE is a Veteran Owned Business, so you would be supporting veterans if you order them!

NOTE: I have not ordered any…yet…

Sandy, you can order ’em for your hubby!

I had a scare today, my left eye.

About 12:30 PM this afternoon I had taken Guido out for potty and was walking back to my apartment and all of a sudden I had a big black blob swirling around my left eye. It looked like those psychedelic projectors at 70s rock concerts with the oil swirling around. I thought oh shit! A retinal detachment. Called the Ophthalmologist and they said come in right away, as I could lose the sight very fast without some surgical intervention. The tech checked my vision, good, still 20/15 and then a glaucoma test, normal pressure, and a field peripheral vision test, good, I could see all the quadrants. The doc came and examined my dilated eyes and she saw the blob in my left, right was clear and determined it was vitreous humor, which is gelatinous breaking up as that is somewhat normal as you age, but mine had broken up and chunks of it were right behind the lens. That is why I am seeing black blobs and trying to look around them. The doc said they should dissipate and break up. I go see her in a month to check again. Let me tell ya, I really thought I could lose my left eye.

Base models came with an imported Opel 1900 four-cylinder, while optional engines ranged from 2.85 and 3.3 six-cylinder units to 4.2 and 5.0 V8 engines. However, most Toranas left the factory with six-cylinder engines under the hood; V8 models in non-performance trim were rare. The 5.0 V8 was worth the extra cost, though: output was 250 hp at 5,000 rpm and 320 ft-lbs at 3,400 rpm, hauling around a body weighing only around 2700 lbs. It could be selected in sporty SL/R 5000 trim; the SL/R package was also available with the 3.3 six and 4.2 V8.
Your welcome Johno…
