In response to bear sightings in the Louisville area–they are real. Hoosiers, your state, too. Do bears swim the Ohio River? The last time I visited the Red River Gorge, they had bear-proofed the area.

Today is National French Fries Day! Enjoy them with ketchup, ranch dressing, or even mustard. While many consider them modern, President Thomas Jefferson ate them.

Lady Godiva lived in Anglo-Saxon times—around 1050 AD. Anglo-Saxons called bread half, loaf/.
Poor—pea flour/oatmeal mix known as horsebread
Serfs—oatmeal/barley mix known as dredge
Middle class—spelt/rye mix known as maslin
Mix with boiling water to form a dough (no other ingredients). Knead well. Form into a pancake and place on an ungreased griddle, cooking over a fire on both sides until golden brown. Serve warm with butter or cheese. (Anglo-Saxon law allowed barm/yeast or salt to be added)
[Lady Godiva is my great…great grandmother. Alas, she left no recipes.]

After 145 years, the Kavanaugh Center in Crestwood Kentucky is closing–another COVID-19 casualty. The Methodist Church leased it out for religious, youth and writing retreats. I was there once with SCBWI and countless times with Green River Writers. We miss it.

Happy birthday, Tesla—I think.
Nikola Tesla was born in Croatia right at midnight during a thunderstorm on July 9, 1856—or July 10—no one knows for sure, but his mother predicted that he would be a child of light. Among his accomplishments after moving to the USA: Working with AC current: AC electric motors, radio remote control, steam generators. At his death in 1943, his journals became TOP SECRET—he was said to be working on particle weapons and contacting aliens from other planets.

In the coral reefs north of Australia, walking sharks (AKA bamboo sharks) dwell. They crawl over the coral reefs, but during low tide they crawl out of the water in search of food. They are a maximum of 4 feet long–unless Land Jaws is out there waiting to snack on people. Happy beach time!
