I don't know if I feel better or not, my ribs sure are sore. It usually takes a couple of days for me to re-cooperate after a day out. And it was a nice day even if was threatening rain. The breeze felt good.

August 23rd: National Ride The Wind Day, and National Sponge Cake Day.

National Ride The Wind Day commemorates the anniversary of the first human-powered flight to win the Kremer prize. It was on August 23rd of 1977 that the Gossamer Condor 2, flew the first figure-eight course specified by the Royal Aeronautical Society, at Minter Field in Shafter, California. Slowly cruising at only 11 mph, it traveled a distance of 2,172 meters. The Gossamer Condor 2 was built by Dr. Paul B MacCready and piloted by amateur cyclist and hang-glider pilot Bryan Allen. The Gossamer Condor 2 aircraft is preserved at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. So go test out those human-powered aircraft and make some history. Summer breezes allow us to fly human-powered. In the event you lack a human-powered aircraft, flying a kite is always a good back up plan.

The quintessential classic of the cake world, this airy queen of treats is the guest of honor on National Sponge Cake Day. One of the trickiest cakes for bakers to master, a perfect sponge stands tall with a fine crumb while remaining moist. Often served with fresh whipped cream and berries, sponge cake layers nicely as well. The sponge cake is believed to be one of the first non-yeasted cakes. Believed to have originated in the Caribbean, the earliest English printed recipe for sponge cake is in the 1615 book of English poet and author Gervase Markham entitled The English Housewife.

Hand gliding is out these days. I better just stick to flying a kite, less pain if it crashes. Wow! Sponge cake really stood the test of time. I'll have mine with strawberries🍓 on top with whipped cream, please. I aired your hugs and brushed Bixby's off and they were perfect.

Lightly(ribs) strawberry sponge cake hugs. Extra strawberry for Bixby. I know how well he loves his strawberries.🐶🍓💕🍁💕
