Pressure pressure

Eddie, my biker friend who lived in Sebastopol bailed out of there in 1985 and moved to gold country (Grass Valley).  He could already see that the two-lane country roads in Sonoma county were getting crowded and that it was only going to get worse.

 

The fires have had a huge impact on housing supply, and greedy landlords, as they are wont to do, have capitalized on it.

 

I don't like feeling the way my parents did about what has happened and how things used to be, but guess what?  I'm around the same age they were when they started talking like that.  It goes to show just how cyclical things are.  The day will come when millennials (why does this site's spell check flag that word even when spelled correctly?) will feel the same way we do, in their own detached, self-centric, robotic way.  But I'm still glad I won't be around when they are fully in charge of piloting the handbasket.

I like the old educational films as well. Great fun to watch, even when they're way off base. In fact, I'm old enough to remember seeing some of them when I was in school. Many of them were well-worn by then, but still being shown.

Growing up my paternal grandmother used a pressure cooker, however not too often, was just used for corn on the cob, spare ribs, and occasionally cabbage rolls. Her sister used her her Alcamatic aluminum pressure cooker for everything
My mother and maternal grandmother never used a pressure cooker and felt they were dangerous.

I have a 10 quart Fagor pressure cooker that only gets used on my sensi-temp burner and it’s to can green beans
