How many Jewish men have seen the Coca Cola recipe? Easy answer - one...
In 1935, Rabbi Tobias Geffen became the only known person outside
of The Coca-Cola Company to examine the company's closely guarded secret formula.
Living in Atlanta, where Coca-Cola was headquartered, Geffen received repeated questions from Jewish communities about whether the drink was kosher. To answer them, Coca-Cola allowed him to privately inspect the confidential ingredient list under strict conditions that he would never reveal the recipe.
During his review, Geffen found that one ingredient, glycerin, was being produced from non-kosher animal tallow. He worked with the company to replace it with a vegetable-based alternative. He also helped resolve a separate Passover issue involving a grain-derived ingredient by recommending an alternative sweetener that preserved the drink's taste.
After these changes were made, Geffen ruled that Coca-Cola was kosher for year-round use, with a special Passover formulation also becoming possible. His work helped make the world's most famous soft drink accessible to millions of observant Jewish consumers while preserving one of the greatest trade secrets in business history.
For Passover, Coke replaces high-fructose corn syrup with pure cane sugar (sucrose). This change makes the soda compliant with Ashkenazi Jewish dietary laws during Passover, when corn-derived ingredients (kitniyot) are forbidden. These special bottles feature distinct yellow caps and are sold in stores each spring. Buy 'em whenever you see them...

Black jack's greenhouse - not far from where I am...
This is the Victorian orangery located within the walled gardens of Glenveagh Castle in County Donegal, Ireland. The greenhouse is situated in the heart of Glenveagh National Park. The castle and its surrounding gardens were originally built in the 19th century.
Glenveagh National Park, Gardens and Castle are located on the Loch Bheatha near the town of Letterkenny in Ireland.
John George Adair Built the castle after acquiring land through the notorious 1861 eviction of 224 tenants, earning him the nickname "Black Jack Adair". Adair was born in County Laois, Ireland, was a Scots-Irish businessman and landowner, financier of JA Ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Adair had made his fortune in Ireland buying up estates bankrupt after the Irish potato great famine.
John's American wife Cornelia took over after his death in 1885, developing the famous castle gardens and hosting high-society guests...

Ever heard of 'Detroit Agate'?
Fordite, also known as Detroit agate, is not a stone - it's a by‑product of the automotive industry. It formed in factories between the 1920s and 1970s, when cars were hand‑sprayed and overspray collected on racks, rails, and floors.
With each new paint job, another layer was added - sometimes over 100 layers per car. Over time, the hardened paint was cut, polished, and transformed into jewellery, cufflinks, and inlays.
Because modern robotic painting techniques and environmental regulations have changed how factories handle paint waste, the original accumulation process no longer happens the same way.
Workers and collectors eventually realized these chunks could be cut, shaped, and polished into cabochons for unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry. Cutting through the random layers yields striking visual effects, ranging from tight, linear geometric stripes to wild, concentric bullseyes. Each piece is unique, its colours reflecting the car styles of its era. A one‑of‑a‑kind gem born from an industrial process - and no two pieces are ever the same.

It used to be a truly happy place for me...
I know I've talked about Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village before, and I'll continue to say that it is/was one of my favorite place on earth, Back in the 60's and 70's, and even in to the 80's, it was a vibrant, fun, carefree oasis in a big crazy city, but sadly now it's turned in to yet another shithole filled with druggies and jerkoffs, filthy dirty and not desirable at all - especially at night. It's a shame such beautiful places go to shit when nobody cares...

To King or not to King. That is the question...
This is largely correct regarding titles and gender in the British royal family: men who marry into the monarchy receive titles like Prince (e.g., Prince Philip) but cannot become King, whereas women who marry a reigning or future King take the title of Queen Consort.
A title of "King" implies a sovereign who reigns by right of birth or constitutional succession. Men who marry female monarchs (like Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II) are traditionally styled as Prince Consort or Prince rather than King to denote they do not share the sovereign political power.
A woman marrying a King automatically assumes the honorary and titular rank of Queen (Queen Consort), sharing the social status and style of her husband without holding the constitutional powers of a "Queen Regnant" (a female monarch who rules in her own right, such as Elizabeth II).
Ya got all that?

A dancing she will go...
I have a dear friend who's a competitive ballroom dancer - same age as me - and from all I can see she's really, really good at it. I kid her saying she'd fold like a cheap tent if she couldn't dance, and even though I know she wouldn't, I'd hate to see her not be able to do something she loves that much, so I won't make anymore jokes like that...
