Years ago I loved KFC chicken. It changed. Not bad, but not as good.

Don't know if it's what they're feeding the chickens, the spices they add, or the way they cook it. While in Australia, I found it to be tasty. Tried it a couple of times here in the past few years, and it isn't the same. Disappointing.

I'll bet it was when they stopped using trans fats, like everyone else.
 
London Bridge Short History

Originally a wooden bridge, London Bridge’s history dates back to the Roman occupation era, just around AD50. It was destroyed several times and rebuilt during the Viking and Saxon invasions but also during natural disasters such as the 1091 tornado or the great fire of 1135.


The construction of the first Medieval London Bridge was started in 1176 and continued for 33 years, under Peter de Colechurch’s instructions. The new stone bridge, completed in 1209, was designed with 19 arches and a gatehouse accessed by a drawbridge. It was populated with around 200 shops and businesses, so crossing the river became really hard. The bridge’s endurance was also put in danger by carrying such a heavy charge on it.

March 25th

The Tichborne Dole, a custom dating back to the 12th century, takes place today in Tichborne near Alresford in Hampshire.
The story goes that as Lady Mabella Tichborne lay sick and dying, she asked her husband Sir Roger to establish a gift (dole) of bread in her memory for those who arrived in Tichborne for the Feast of the Annunciation (Lady Day). Not thrilled at this prospect, Sir Roger said he would provide flour for the bread from as much land as his wife could encompass. A determined lady, she managed to crawl around 23 acres of land, an area still know today as The Crawls.

JFK's Tribute to Robert Frost

"He brought an unsparing instinct for reality to bear on the platitudes and pieties of society. His sense of the human tragedy fortified him against self-deception and easy consolation."


"I have been," he wrote, "one acquainted with the night." And because he knew the midnight as well as the high noon, because he understood the ordeal as well as the triumph of the human spirit, he gave his age strength with which to overcome despair."


"At bottom he held a deep faith in the spirit of man. And it is hardly an accident that Robert Frost coupled poetry and power, for he saw poetry as the means of saving power from itself."
