Evaporative Cooling... hmnnnn .... so much information on the Net!
.....EXAMPLE OF evaporative cooling.... It is the same physics that cools your cup of hot coffee. In your coffee, the most energetic coffee molecules escape from the cup and come off as steam.
When they do this, they take away more than their share of heat, and the atoms left behind in the cup are colder because they have lost energy.

Mama mentioned the "Water Cooler" that Daddy bought.....
back in HOT summer of 1954..... when I was about six months old.... we lived in Tilman County, Frederick, Oklahoma. So now --- what was a water cooler???
An evaporative cooler (also swamp cooler, desert cooler, and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems which use vapor-compression. Unlike refrigeration, it requires a water source, and must continually consume water to operate. The evaporative cooler's water is only evaporated once.
Sooooo.... how does the dictionary tell me this thing works?????
Typically, residential and industrial evaporative coolers use direct evaporation and can be described as an enclosed metal or plastic box with vented sides containing a centrifugal fan or 'blower', electric motor with pulleys (known as 'sheaves' in HVAC), (or a direct-driven axial fan), and a water pump to wet the evaporative cooling pads. The units can be mounted on the roof (down draft, or downflow), or exterior walls or windows (side draft, or horizontal flow) of buildings. To cool, the fan draws ambient air through vents on the unit's sides and through the damp pads. Heat in the air evaporates water from the pads which are constantly re-dampened to continue the cooling process. Thus cooled, moist air is then delivered to the building via a vent in the roof or wall.
Because the cooling air originates outside the building, one or more large vents must exist to allow air to move from inside to outside. Air should only be allowed to pass once through the system, or the cooling effect will decrease
OK... so the family story was remembered by Mama on yesterday.... It was so hot and dry in that Frederick mid-July heat. And you were so miserable.. and fussy... that Not until Howard went and bought a water cooler. We laid you out on the floor... and you slept and you enjoyed that cool air!

My Daddy loved Money
That is.... the collecting of coins and bills....
So when I ran across a couple of Silver Certificate Dollar bills..... I purchased then at half price... they were listed as $5 each.... I love a two-fer sale for the sake of a family memory!
Silver Certificate Dollar Bill Value
The 1957 silver certificate dollar bill value, is a bit higher than its intrinsic $1 value and is often valued to $1.25 to $1.50 if it is a circulated bill. Non circulated ones go up to $4. The same is the case of 1935 silver certificate dollar bill value, however there are exceptions, such as the experimental notes, and the 1935A Hawaii and North Africa or blocks and serial number ranges which are rare and have quite a higher value. In case of the rare ones 1957A silver certificate dollar bill value is often quite high. There are some other bills such as the 1934 and 1953 bills, where the silver certificate five dollar bill value increases by about 30 to 40% of the intrinsic amount, the only reason being that the bill is a rare one. Large Size "Horseblanket" or "Saddleblanket" bills, that were printed before 1928, have an exceptionally high value and the $1 bill can be sold well over $100.
The silver certificate dollar bill was basically launched by the United States government as a response to the agitation. The gold standard was abolished and the original gold - silver standard was reintroduced. The silver certificates basically implies the fact that the mint took into custody, volumes of silver before printing the certificates or rather the bill. The silver certificates were printed in the denomination of $1, $5 and $10. The denomination is the intrinsic value of the said bill.

OUR HISTORY.
ABROAD in the breeze waves our starry flag,
Beneath its folds toil we.
While other nations their harvests reap,
And some are at play, and some asleep,
We are writing our history.
We write—not one to labor alone,
But thousands hold the pen.
Delicate youth and hoary age
Leave a record upon the page,
Fair women and stalwart men.
What does our history speak about,
What story does it tell?
It tells of struggles, of hopes, and fears,
Of heavy losses, and bitter tears
(The world knows the lesson well!);
Of gallant deeds to make one thrill,
And perils by land and sea;
Of children leaving their mother's side
To strike one blow, in their childish pride,
For the country of the free.
Oh! scornful world, watching without,
"Stricken of God!" ye say?
"Stricken of God!" ye say?
Nay, through the cloud as our fathers trod,
We are marching onward to meet our God,
His promise our only stay.
What though the sword from its scabbard leap,
And cannon the echoes wake!
Though thousands are falling beside us— Still
We follow boldly, for 'tis His will
That we suffer for Freedom's sake!
O not one star from our flag shall fade!
There our Father bade them be,
And said if we kept them free from stain
They should form forever a golden chain
And said if we kept them free from stain
They should form forever a golden chain
To bind us to Liberty
And so, though foreign foes would beguile,
And traitorous voices call;
Though armed hosts meet us at every turn,
On bonded knees an oath we have sworn,
That our banner shall never fall!
There is hardly a house where every chair
Is filled as it might have been,
Were there no blank sheets in our history,
To be filled ere another year we see—
And faster travels the pen.
It matters not, O doubting world!
That our labor be hard or long,
For never by man was a good work wrought
But angels first with the devil fought,
Yet Right will conquer Wrong.
Float on in the breeze, thou flag of hope!
Bravely beneath toil we!
While other nations their harvests reap,
With glorious deeds for memory's keep,
We are writing our history,

Yesterday was Father's Day.... 2011
It started when I spoke of Baptist Hospital... the tenth floor where daddy died 6-14-1997 while driving to church Father's Day morning... the whole day of his dying moving across my mind's eye. I had mentioned Tiger not having his dad at the US Open... Life changes. I had seen just enough of the movie RAY..... wherein Ray Charles sat on a bus and relived the incident wherein his brother drowned in a tub..... I saw the trees with bottles hanging and reflecting the sunlight.... an old mother....The Lord done took him home, chile...
This is a photo of the Chickasha headstone.... no name had yet been engraved as deceased....
Well next... I felt like everybody was rude... and in their own world. Pastor sung alongside his son -- so proud. The speaker introduced his son -- so proud. Patrick was a new - good father. Then my blood sugar dropped - just a minor variation. And boy... I had to get out of church... tried to get my debit card to go eat... forgot the car key. Peggi Kennedy offered to help, gave me cracker.... I shed tears. I managed to close out church... feeling awfully lonely. Lawrence was running around for a full 40 minutes helping EVERBODY else.... and boy did I feel alone...sitting in the car.
So I cried some more.
It's only today...that it dawns on me that it was a NO-Father's Day moment for me.
This really beautiful man.... his picture hangs in my sewing room.... A place that I did not go to last night... There's really nothing else to say. for today...

Week 24. Croaker Sack Clothing
Clothing...... What types of clothes did you wear as a child? As I see this word and its' various explanations... I know that as children in rural areas of Oklahoma... our clothing was sometimes make out of this course, itchy, rough burlap bag fabric !!!
croa·ker (krō′kər) sack clothing (gunnysack) DEFINITION: a bag made of burlap or similar material ... A course fabrice
Used in areas of the American South - as of 2009 - ranging from South Carolina, through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and at least northern Louisiana. Indeed, the sack doubtless referred to the burlap bag used to carry the fish, but no one questioned now remembers that particular use. Today it's the word traditionally used, at least in the areas mentioned, to mean "burlap bag" and is used to carry whatever articles that are at hand.
