12. Transportation Library Menu Collection

To fly the friendly skies in the 1950s and 1960s across the continent (or
the Atlantic) was quite an experience. To say nothing of the possible
turbulence, the culinary offerings in flight could be quite outstanding. The late George M. Foster (an anthropologist and consultant) was there at the beginning of such pioneering commercial air travel. He collected hundreds of menus from his time on trains, planes, and cruise ships, and he gave them to Northwestern University in 1997. This digital collection from the Northwestern University Library allows users to look at these items in all of their glorious detail. After clicking on "View the Contents" visitors can make their way through menus from Air Canada, Cathay Pacific, United Airlines, and so on. First-time visitors should not miss the menu from a Chicago to Amsterdam flight on KLM that Mr. Foster took on June 21, 1979.
Did they have "Brownies" for desert?

Over the past few days, I have seen two oddities that both involved the moon. On Friday night, I saw a moon dog. Basicaly a moon halo. I have seen that maybe once or twice, in my life. Then on Monday night, I saw a jet contrail only illuminated by moonlight. It looked very eery, much like a dim comet's tail. i do not recall ever seeing one, before. As it moved away, it dimmed to where it was no longer visible - which made sense as moonlight is much dimmer than sunlight.
Speaking of contrails - about 5 years ago, just about 10 minutes after sunset, I started seeing contrails. It was like there was 3, where none had been just seconds before, then 10, then 20 and finally over 60! And just as suddenly as they were there, they were gone. It must have been that the sun had sunk behind the horizon and the atmosphere magnified the rays, up in the air, like a spot light. I tried on other profoundly clear dusks and have never seen such a repeat.
EDIT - Moon dog. I used Wikipedia and looked up moon ring. It mentioned warm weather before a winter storm. 
Well, we've had the warm weather
