Our Daily Dead

There are things to do in Denver when you aren’t dead. Check into the new Tribal Paths: Colorado’s American Indians, 1500 to Today exhibit for example.

Or if you find yourself in Philly, then head into the Philadelphia Museum of Art to see Thomas Eakins’ The Gross Clinic exhibit. The museum PR says “The Gross Clinic, acclaimed as the greatest American painting of the nineteenth century, has been an icon of Philadelphia since it was painted in 1875.”

Omaha? You’re in Omaha? Well, try the Omaha Old Market then. Pick us up some steaks too while your there will you?

What about spending time in Fargo? Try visiting the Trollwood Park at Broadway/37th Ave. N. Our birthday(s) are due soon so get us a bangle or two will you?

There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin’ that you’d gone.

Momofuku Ando the inventor of the Ramen noodle and thereby sustainer of millions of college students has died at age 96. Mr. Ando founded the Nissin Food Products company in 1948 seeking to answer the serious food shortages faced by a post-war nation.

“Peace prevails when food suffices,” he said.

The Chicago Tribune article also says that “…the focus on convenience, taste, shelf life and price turned Nissin into a $3 billion multinational corporation with 29 subsidiaries in 11 countries.”

And honestly we are sure the noodles are still good, but you should know that Mr. Ando ate a lunch meal of noodles with his employees just before taking ill.
