OT WE 30 SEP 26 ~ Fresh Food on the Ancient Silk Road
Submitted by QMS on Wed, 09/30/2026 - 5:00am

From a town in northwestern China called Dunhuang meaning "Blazing Beacon" there is a rich history going
back around 4000 years. It is an important crossroads combining the ancient Southern Silk Road and the main
Road from India.
~
Food in Dunhuang combines features of both Xinjiang cuisine and Lanzhou food. I found this video showcasing
the Night Market, the vendors and dishes being made fascinating. About 40 minutes. Hunger warning!

Hiya, good morning
.
Another day to figure out the workings of the word.
An example of the trumpet regime's destruction of
trade to 'hurt' China, Canada has used the US tariff war
to expand markets to China. Oil, sulphur and copper exports
are greatly increasing. Once again backfiring policy. Guess who
it harms? US industry and consumers of course. Unbelievable.

Good morning...
Looks like the NE and the SW are getting hammered with rain. Hope everyone rides it out with minimal hassle.
We're off to the gulf coast tomorrow, so today is packing day. I think we've done all the food prep we're going to do before departure.
At any rate several chores to tend to today.
See you around the site. Thanks for the OT!

Enjoy your gulf journey
Our Nor'Easter has blown itself out finally.
In other news, a passenger airliner had to be
redirected away from Israel due to a mishap in
the cockpit. Reports are saying there was a fight
between the pilot (Russian) and co-pilot (Ukrainian).
HR at FLYDUBAI need to work on their scheduling of crew.

Good morning, Cap'n!
One pilot was Omani, the other was from the UAE.

Good afternoon or evening, as the case may be. By the time I
finished your videos, we had finagled a free bulky waste and recyclables fickup from our local refuse disposal company, for 6 am tomorrow. Working relatively continuously since we have schlepped several cubic yrds of stuff out to the curbm mcuh of which we had to first bundle, chop or disassemble. My watch sow says that I have 381 minutes of activity at an elevated heart rate, I'm drenched with sweat, and still not done. Even worked in some major pruning and set the trimmings out too. Regular weekly household trash, inclluding massive amounts of junk mail still has to go out too. Heh. Got to go out and finish so that I can have my 3:00 beverage on time, it is already profoundly needed.
Thanks for the cockburn
be well and have a good one

He may have OD'd on testosterone. Now he can
