This is the closest view of Saturn as seen by the Cassini Spacecraft moments before it plunged into the most ringed planet in the solar system. Despite this image being an artistic illustration based on data captured during Cassini’s last moment on Saturn, it still reveals to us the real nature of the second Largest gas giant in the solar system. However, before the Cassini space probe crashed into Saturn, it made several discoveries about its rings and upper atmosphere.

^ I’ll second that. We went a few years ago and I’d put it with the best Michelin restaurants in the world. Not overly fancy food but the food and service was perfect.

In 1951, Ford built the Cleveland Engine plant, which was the first Ford engine plant in Ohio. The plant was the center of production for Ford's first overhead valve engine, the Lincoln V8.


The undated photo shows the Cabinet Saloon on Main Street in Woodward, Oklahoma. “Uncle” Jack Garvey is the fellow leaning against the post at the far right. The gentleman on horseback at the far left is believed to be Al Jennings, the attorney turned wanna-be outlaw turned convicted felon turned western legend (in his own mind) turned Hollywood movie star.
Don’t know the name Jack Garvey? He was, among many other things, proprietor of the infamous (or, is it notorious) Cabinet Saloon on Main (north side of 800 block, the east end of Not Necessarily New today) in Woodward.
He became something of a celebrity in the 1890s. While visiting Wellington, Kansas in 1898, he gave an interview to the local paper. The only thing the interviewer wanted to know about was the Cabinet Saloon, which by that time had become a tourist draw for people visiting Woodward. There were supposedly the blood stains of several men on the floor. The walls were riddled with some sixty holes from shots fired inside the place.
And, of course, some of those holes and blood could be attributed to the gunfight between the Jennings Brothers on one side and Temple Houston and Jack Love on the other. Let's do the math...four six-shot revolvers firing that's 24 rounds minus the two that ended up in each of the Jennings brothers, that accounts for 22 of the 60 holes (see why you read these?).
The Woodward News of February 7, 1896, published a short story about Jack Garvey and an elixir made by a German. Not sure if the elixir was intended for himself or his customers.
****
A German has invented an elixir which when applied to the skin makes it bullet proof. Jack Garvey at the Cabinet has ordered several bottles of it.
That was followed by another short paragraph in the News two weeks later (Feb. 21, 1896).
Jack Garvey has received that bullet proof elixir ordered a few weeks ago. He says it is nothing more than perfumed soda water.
****
Visit the Plains Indians & Pioneers Museum in Woodward where the crack research staff is hard at work perfecting an elixir that will do something, anything. It’s the only thing we could think to do with the plethora (plethora, we’re tellin’ you!) of jugs filled with non-alcoholic sandbur-flavored cider that are still sitting around here. Can’t drink it, might as well rub some on the skin.
Excuse me…the FDA is calling.
We are elixir-, regulation-, and admission-free.
