Onion Tea

I was at my desk late last night as our Russian cleaning crew made its rounds. They are very nice people and one of the women heard me coughing and suggested a remedy. Onion tea. "Like onion soup?" I asked. "No, no put onion in boiling water for a few minutes and then add lemon and honey."

Then she started down the hall and came back to add, "Use red onion."

I guess I should have known that.

Maybe I'm a closet Czarist because I was thinking white onion.

Fontella Bass, seen here on the show “Shindig” in 1965 singing her hit song “Rescue Me”, died on December 26. We listened back today to an interview Terry did with Bass in 1995.

Rasta Girl

While running the other night I met a woman with long dread locks that I've seen working out and at races throughout the year.  She keeps them pulled back with a bandanna.  She also seems to run to the beat of her own drummer, which is cool.  She had been kicking my ass, but on this occasion, I caught and passed her.  I figured she must have raced or run long the day before and was just doing a recovery  run.  Having lived in the Caribbean for 2 and 1/2 years, I was into the dreads.  When I passed her I wanted to say, "Hey, Natty Dread" but you never know how folks will react.

Anyway, we met when she caught up to where I was cooling down.  I told her about liking the locks and nearly calling her Natty Dread.  As she ran off in her tie-dyed Bob Marley T-shirt she said, "If you forget my name, Natty Dread will do."

You've got to like that attitude.

Story of cities #29: Los Angeles and the 'great American streetcar scandal'

The last train on the last line of greater Los Angeles’ Pacific Electric streetcar network made its last run on April 9, 1961.

Between 1938 and 1950, one company purchased and took over the transit systems of more than 25 American cities. 

Their name, National City Lines, sounded innocuous enough, but the list of their investors included General Motors, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum, Mack Trucks, and other companies who stood to benefit much more from a future running on gasoline and rubber than on electricity and rails. 

National City Lines acquired the Los Angeles Railway in 1945, and within 20 years diesel buses – or indeed private automobiles – would carry all the yellow cars’ former passengers. Does that strike you as a coincidence?

Read the full story.
