Pigeon Point Lighthouse news update:

After six years, the California State Parks Foundation has started a $6 million fundraising campaign to restore and re-open Pigeon Point Lighthouse. The maintenance of Lighthouse has been neglected since the original First Order Fresnel lens was replaced by an automated DCB-24 Aerobeacon in 1974.

Time is running out before Lighthouse Levitation may be required to support the weight of the 8,000-pound First Order Fresnel lens, Lantern Room, and DCB-24 Aerobeacon. Due to the advances in electronic navigation, historic Lighthouse Treasures provide backup to commercial ships according to Senior Chief Michael Ellis, with U.S. Coast Guard’s Aids to Navigation Team in San Francisco. Lighthouses continue to be important navigational guardians for small craft with less sophisticated equipment.

For public safety, the popular Lighthouse Tower at Pigeon Point has been closed since 2001 when major structural damages were revealed after a section of the cornice fell. The hostel and the grounds are open providing picturesque vistas of the rocky coastline.

Post Prizes and Surprises for Bloggers of Wordless Chicken Tuesday:

rubberchickenaward.jpg My 1st Place Prize is awarded to Speedcat Hollydale for his study of Frozen Tongue Cures! Parents around the globe are celebrating his medical discovery. Speedcat has confirmed that warm liquids will release your tongue from frozen surfaces!

And, my Rubber Chicken 1st Place Prizes are also awarded to Drowsey Monkey for starting the Frozen Tongue humor with a post that almost everyone outside of Canada thought was a serious story about the dark side in the childhood rites of passage,

Olga the Traveling Chicken Breast Bra for another round of the subservient BK Clucker,
and
Chief Chicken Dickens for her Chickens dancing in Technorati Tutus!

If you are wondering why Debbie Dolphin has not joined Speedcat’s weekly Chicken Comedy Caper than hopefully, the following Cartoon will explain my sitting out situation (sos):

    WoW!!! Well done. The cartoon was both funny and shocking… as I had no idea that chickens liked martini’s.

    Hello from Speedy the human test subject :-)

  2. Debbie Dolphin Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Speedy, the human test subject!

    After what these chickens have been through in the Comedy Chicken Caper, I am shocked they still can lay eggs and drink martinis at the same time!

    Hi CCDCLKim!

    You are most welcome and thank you!

    Will the Big Bang Meme cure the Black Holes of Technorati?
    Your secret is safe with me!
    The Big Bang Meme and your award is on my To Do list which may be another surprising post!

    My brother’s recovery is progressing - he has an antibiotic IV for a month. Hopefully, he will be healthy by the end of February.

  9. Hawk Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    Deb, not as as Independent, but as a Hawkincrat. Doesn’t sound too bad. Unfortunately, I don’t qualify for federal matching campaign funding. Wouldn’t take even if I did, LOL!

    Later…

    Hi Hawk,

    A Hawkincrat for POTUS - I love it!

    Since it has been so long since there has been humor in the Oral Orifice, you have my write-in vote this November!

  11. Hawk Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    You are quite the comedian, oui?

    Just left the nest from replying to your hilarious commentary. You gotta love a woman who blogs about lighthouses and the preservation of such things, who also has a sense of humor.

    I’ll be back to visit when I have more time to check out your awesome photography. I’m behind the bowling ball, or is it the 8-ball? Dunno…

    We’ll catch you on the next landing . . . flap, flap, flap . . . lift off!

    Thank you for keeping me posted on your reply!

    You discovered my secret double life from the secret discovery of our blogs!

    I’m behind, too! — But, it is fun to discover new excellent blogs like yours and play Ketchup later!

    haha Debbie this post is getting funnier by the minute :)

    Good news about your brother :) though I wouldn’t fancy having an IV ….
    it’s good to hear that he’s out of the woods …

    I think the big band maybe curing the technorati ills for me and is taking my mind off doing my 101 Top Artists List update before the end of the month when I lose my trusty secretary who has to go back to school ..ho hummm…
    rank as of 1 minute ago 341 to 377…sssshhhhhh

  16. Colin.....I think? Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Debbie,
    Well at least those chickens will be nicely flavored with martini’s etc, so should cook up quite nicely in the black hole of Technorati….it might even give the gremlins in there some light so they can actually see what they are doing instead of fumbling around as they do :)

    Have a wonderful day,
    Me, Myself and I

    Hi Kim who is behind big time !!

    Thank you for your caring well wishes!

    I can see your Breaking News Headline: Technorati Black Holes vanish after the explosion of the Big Bang Meme :)

  18. Debbie Dolphin Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Colin… I think?

    Je crois que vous avez découvert une nouvelle entrée française: le blanc de poulet sans os grillé a étouffé dans Martini, Oui ? :)

    In English:
    I believe you have discovered a new French entrée: grilled boneless chicken breast smothered in Martini, Yes? :)

    Speaking of exposing gremlins in the Technorati Black Holes to the light,
    there is No Shock that Google Gremlins (a cousin of Google Pork Rations) translates my French as:
    I think you have discovered a new entry French white chicken grilled boneless suffocated in a Martini, Yes? :)

    And, the Babel Fish Translation is:
    I believe that you discovered a new French entry: the breast of chicken without roasted bone choked in Martini, Oui? :)

    Thanks to Google Gremlins and Babel Fish Translation, we have discovered a new way to express French Chicken Cuisine Comedy!

    Have a wonderful week! :)

    Congrats on your award! Very well desrved.

    Thanks for the award! Sweeeeeeeet!

  23. Hawk Says: MyAvatars 0.2

    Captain DD, you have been found out.

    I flew by to say thank you for the kind words regarding my haunt. It is rare to find someone that is refreshing and not a general stick in the mud. Believe you me, I’ve been in some mud and it ain’t no fun.

    I am fan already of your beacon of illumination and whimsical personal humor. It does the heart good to meet folk such as your self that makes me grin like a Cheshire Cat.

    Flapping…flapping…lift-off…and now soaring.

    As I prepare to fade in the distance, please remember the following: “Drink In Life; And Soar!”

    Due to my fins, the best my body can do is “Drink in Life; And Swim!” ;)
