Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.
Today's story and sketch "by me" is about the Bar Fly infestation at the Mohave Desert Playa Beautimus Retirement Resort. Today you see JB piloting his Space Jumper Chopper, he just exited the worm hole nine Topoc Gorge portal with Buster Quigly and his wife Kate, JB avoided the Playa Beautimus stargate exit. The Playa Beautimus stargate is closed, to prevent a new strain of hybrid Bar Flies getting into the worm hole and infesting the Galaxy.
Buster is the galaxies number one expert on fruit fly eradication, and in the summer the base running coach for the Dodgers.
The bar fly infestation began when the common Drosophila melanogaster the common fruit fly, a little insect about 3mm long, of the kind that accumulates around spoiled fruit not normally interested in Moon Pies. But a tourist bus from the Planet Ganglee had some stow away Ganglee fruit flies that escaped at Playa Beautimus Resort, the Ganglee fruit flies, normal size is about two inches long and resemble a fruit bat with a nasty set of chompers (Ganglee Teeth), their main diet is the
Ganglee berry, identical to our Blueberries. A few of the Drosopilia fruit flies cross breed with the little Ganglee bat flies and they are now a blueberry and goat cheese moon pie eating Menace. I hope to have an update soon on the Bar Flies,
until then taa ta the Rod Blog
The two British Godwits are easy to tell apart if you see them in flight. Black-tailed Godwit has a black tail and a huge white wing stripe whereas this Bar-tailed Godwit has a barred tail and no wing stripe, rather like a Curlew. The names of both of these birds were coined in 1828 by John Fleming in his History of British Animals. Prior to that Bar-tailed was known as the Common Godwit (or simply Godwit). while Black-tailed was unhelpfully called "the second sort of Godwit" by Ray (1678) then later Red or Red-breasted Godwit in the mid eighteenth century. That wasn't very helpful as both species are red in breeding plumage.
Bar-tailed Godwits are common on sandy estuaries in winter but not common at all away from their regular coastal sites. The British population is about 50,000 in winter, but they have never bred in Britain. They breed on Arctic tundra adjacent to the Arctic Ocean from Lapland right across to Alaska but these eastern populations do not winter in Britain. Those from eastern Siberia winter in West Africa but stop off to refuel in Britain on their way back north in May. The ones from Alaska winter in New Zealand but they make the 11,000km journey without stopping and it takes them about 7 days to complete.
I photographed this individual coming into land on the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire. I thought this photograph showed off its wing and tail pattern beautifully.

We were lucky enough to be able to see this uncommon visitor to the Bay Area. We saw it in Pond A17 and had better views than now it has now moved to A18 and viewing is better with a scope. Another life bird to add to my list!
Not the best shot but you can see some of the differences: more pale overall especially the underside, prominent eyebrow and bill more pink. It apparently has shorter legs which we were not able to see. And it is nice to be able to compare to our Marbled Godwits.
Photo below shows more pale belly.
I spotted this bar-tailed godwit in the distance as I was photographing another bird. I kept my eye on it and it slowly started to get closer. I carefully manouvered on the sand until I could comfortably focus on it and it continued getting closer. Eventually it came within metres of me happily feeding on all that the tide had washed up
