Jenny was looking at random FB pages with images of survivors of the USS Indy in Guam that she had never seen before. She got thinking that there MIGHT be more new ones with the discovery of the Indy. Googeling USS Indianoplis Survivors Guam a video popped up. Looking at it closely all of a sudden - GRAMPA?
We got a call about 10:15 last night (which is never good) and DJ all of a sudden sat up straight. Then excitement. We see the video and 19 year old Mel Jacob is on screen for 26 seconds! You can see Mel at the 1:08 mark. The dude messing with the railing

SO - since Mels passing they found the Indy and a video all of a sudden appears. Jenny has been in contact with the director of The USS Indianapolis: The Legacy and will get a hard copy of the video.
Now National Geographic will start making their big production featuring The Indy with a magazine and a National Geo Special

Before all of this I was in THE TREE MEETING discussing the tree situation on James Street. I won't do any details here but I think most people will be very pleased at what we decided (but not voted on yet) to do with replacing trees on James Street with a nice surprise.
HOWEVER - in the conversations about Callery Pear trees such as the Cleveland Pear that McKay sells we discovered something.
I live in McKay-land (a McNeighborhood if you will) where there are many Cleveland Pear's in our area. One day I was mowing and the Pear tree was flowering. I looked at my shoe because I thought I stepped in dog shit. No . . NO - it's the tree. Just a God-awful smell when it flowers. Bees LOVE it but OMG it was truly hideous.
So- back at the meeting we're looking up Callery Pears and we found numerous websites that describe Callery Pears like this:

AND
The tree is known for its pungent, often unpleasant smell during its flowering stage, which has been described as reminiscent of rotting fish, chlorine, or semen
AND
AND
Springtime in the city smells like flowers and cum and vomit. And I'm not talking about your neighborhood dive bar airing out after a long, dank winter—I'm talking about the trees.

So . . . it was decided this might not be the best choice of trees. But a word of warning. McKay sells these and they are HIDEOUS smelling. Look awesome and are covered with bee's flowering but OMG.
