Happy 231st Birthday
to the
U S Coast Guard
https://www.history.uscg.mil/research/chronology/ wrote:1790 — President George Washington signed the "Tariff Act," a bill Congress passed that had been written and submitted by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. The bill authorized Hamilton's to build ten cutters to protect the new nation's revenue (Stat. L. 145, 175). Alternately known as the system of cutters, Revenue Service, and Revenue-Marine this service would officially be named the Revenue Cutter Service (12 Stat. L., 639) in 1863. The cutters were placed under the control of the Treasury Department. This date marks the officially recognized birthday of the Coast Guard.

A whopping 12 cup teapot to serve up your celebratory tea to help Randi's cake go down!
Happy Birthday Coast Guard!

Why Migraine Sufferers May Want to Eat More Fish:
A diet high in omega-3s, the fats found in fish, and low in omega-6s, found in many vegetable oils, led to fewer headaches.
"omega-6 fats have been shown to promote pain and inflammation"
Sources of omega-
6 fats are corn, soybean and canola oils.
"For vegetarians, good plant sources of omega-
3 fats are ground flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts."

Although my waistline does not agree - I love walnuts and wouldn't give them up.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I only get 1/2 birthday normally, or better seen as 2 for 1 really, since my wife and I have the same birthday. Not the same year, though. Mine is apparently 11 Aug 1862 and hers is an 11 Aug more recent. I have gained the upper hand on what cake though -- the McB family had ONLY ONE kind of birthday cake to be served for --every-- birthday. And it took lo these many years to break into the ironclad tradition with a chocolate.

I'm glad you succeeded!
What's the point of having a birthday if you don't get chocolate

Happy Birthday! and your wife, too.
I have this imaginary vision of Randi baking all of these magnificent cakes! In the pandemic, I guess you would have to eat them yourself. Then to say nothing of Joan's teapot collection. I think my imagination has taken over in place of real life experiences. We are going to get out to see our daughter next week- maybe the imagination will be replaced by reality, finally.
Many Happy more birthdays!.

Speaking of tea, not my usual, but I do miss the daily striking of the Terra Nova bell to summon all hands to tea at Scott Polar. A very fine tradition.
