Okay, since we’re all playing MHM rn for the #cluecrewplaythru, I thought I would translate some of ~very~ cursive letters for anyone who may find them hard to read

The brown journal in the attic:

we dined with the Maupassants in a strange quarter of Shanghai known as the Enchanted Dragon. Mme. [short for Madame, the French equivalent of Mrs.] Maupassant showed me the lovely muslin [this fabric was quite fashionable in the 1800s and I believe rather expensive] that she has purchased earlier that week and we exchanged pleasantries about out travels in the Orient.

As the meal progressed, an elderly man approached me selling a curious puzzle box shaped like a pyramid.

There appears to be no hinges or any semblance if its mechanics from the outside and yet the solution to open the box was very intricate and involved. The artwork was magnificent and I became enchanted not only with the contraption but with the artistic genius of the kindly old man. My mind ran wild with the possibility of creating a hotel where rooms are puzzles full of traps and tricks, just like this pyramid box.

In my broken Mandarin, I asked about the old man’s employment situation and pressed him to return with me to engineer my next hotel. He became embarrassed, and my dining companions protested my forthcoming attitude.

Even in the far East where their traditions are so different from ours, a woman is still confined to remain passive and meek, regardless of her passion or intellect.

E. Valdez letter in the writing desk:

The Golden Gardenia

December 8th, 1902

Mr. George Williston[?], General Manager

The Victorian Hotel

Powell [?] and Clay Street

San Francisco

Dear Sir,

This letter shall serve as an introduction for my faithful employee, Wing Tang, who has been employed in my service as head chef for over ten years. It is with ^much regret that I must discharge him, and were it not for the retirement if my hotel establishment, I would still retain his services.

Sincerely,

E. Valdez

Proprietor, The Golden Gardenia

The letter in the staircase:

Diego,

I’ve waited so long for your return but have kept our treasure true. Here us the tool you’ll need to find it. May your rainbows never run out of luck.

The stars and moon will shine on you

As you begun your quest.

Move like a knight upon his horse

To quickly pass the test.

Take care to keep your path in check

Along the outside border,

So you may see the sun return

To claim its rightful order.

Rose’s letter to Hue:

Dear Hue,

I’m doing great! How are you? Yes, the rumors are true: I bought myself a Victorian mansion! it’s funny you should mention Abby; she’s actually the one who decided to go in on this venture with me. We’re still in the process of restoring the place. It’s a lot of fun, but also a lot of hard work. We’re beginning to get a little worried that we’ll fall behind schedule if we’re not careful. There’ve been several accidents lately that have interferred with our work.

when you visit, you can stay in the Chinese room! We’ve just bought some new furniture for the room. We’re just waiting for the wallpaper to dry before we move everything in. With all of the distractions and the schedule, by the time I finish writing this letter, I’m sure we will have completed the renovations altogether! I’ll try to get it into the mail before [she did not finish the letter]

Letters in the safe:

My dearest Elizabeth,

I could never sully that sweet name by calling you Lizzie. You shall evermore be Elizabeth, my Elizabeth: the sweet, dear woman who has honored me with her enchanting presence and grace.

Tonight, I ride on yet another perilous trip, but always to return to your beloved smile.

Until then, please accept this bouquet of gardenias, your favorites.

~ El Diablo

My dearest Elizabeth,

Only one soul on this great Earth knows the two secrets that circle my heart: my love for you and my secret identity. Know that my intentions are the purest in all respects. I am a modest man, and all of the wealth that I have acquired by devious means are put to the best uses – all given them to the poor, the misfortunate and the defenseless.

And so I am - a poor, misfortunate and defenseless man in the presence of your beauty. You have stolen my heart, dear Elizabeth, and all I ask is your hand in marriage to be mine.

Forever, Diego

Knight in Shining Khakis (Top Gun: Maverick: Jake Seresin)

a/n: something I wrote quickly since i’ve been in a writing slump, but I thought this was cute and fun so I hope you guys enjoy :)))

summary: female reader (she/her) x jake “hangman” seresin Another rowdy night at the Hard Deck leaves you searching for Rooster to come and save you from the unruly and horny patrons. But when Rooster is nowhere in sight, Hangman offers his assistance in helping you out. He turns out to be just as charming and cocky as you expected, but kinder than you thought.

notes/warnings: mentions of unwanted drunk attention and creepy men, age-gap, somewhat fake dating but not really

word count: 1.0k

It was a busier Saturday night at the Hard Deck with the influx of the spring break crowd in San Diego. A bunch of college-aged kids dying to test their luck and charm on the military men and women.

You understood, just a short 2 years ago you fell into the same category. Now you were studying for your Master’s in Social Work while working at the local bar in your free time.

You had grown close with the regulars, chatting with them while you served and sometimes meeting up during the day for coffee or just a beach hang out. They made it enjoyable. The only downside to working at the Hard Deck was the drunk men who thought being an asshole and making offensive comments would get them anywhere.

Hence your current state. You marched up to the dart board where Coyote and Hangman had been playing round after round for the past hour. Glancing back to the busy bar, you shuddered at the thought of having to deal with all the horny boys alone.

You rapidly tapped on Hangman’s shoulder after watching him hit his third bullseye in a row.

He turned around, a confused look on his face before his lips lifted into a small smirk at the notice of your presence, his eyes glancing down to your figure.

You were just a sight for sore eyes, he thought. Your ripped denim shorts hugging your hips and accentuating your waist in just the right ways, while still being short enough that it looked like your legs were never-ending. And don’t even get him started on the tank top that framed your collarbones in the most unbelievably sexy way.

You stood with your hands on your hips, foot tapping impatiently as you watched Hangman unashamedly look you over.

“Where’s Bradley? I need his help.”

���Snuck off with Phoenix a few minutes ago, pretty sure they left” he replied, taking a sip of his beer as his eyes quickly scanned your figure once more.

“Ugh of course he did,” you whispered under your breath, eyes scanning back behind you to the unattended bar where the unruly patrons whistled and waved over to you. The boys laughing and pushing each other in the process.

God, you really hated college boys.

“But how can I be of service sugar?”

To the untrained eye it may seem like you were having a regular conversation with Hangman, which couldn’t be any further from the truth. Out of the entire dagger squad you barely conversed with Hangman. He was always around, and you would steal glances back and forth, but you rarely ever chatted with him one on one.

Bradley was usually your go-to guy for this type of thing. It happened on accident one night when a guy was just a little to forward and wouldn’t leave you alone. All it took was for Bradley to say “Hey asshat! Leave my girl alone,” while dressed in his service khakis and the guy buggered off. From that point on Bradley would come around and chat you up, pretending to be your boyfriend and watch the guys walk away, pride on the floor and dick tucked away.

Any of the Dagger squad could pull it off really, even sweet-ole Bob who looked like he wouldn’t hurt a fly could be intimidating if he wanted to be, especially when he was in uniform. But Jake, he was intimidating all the time. Something about his icy green eyes pierced your soul and you found it harder than you thought to hold eye contact with him.

“I need you to pretend to bemyboyfriend,” you whispered, rushing and slurring your words at the end.

Hangman was pretty sure he heard you clearly. He knew what routine you and Bradley had going on. He had seen it time and time again while you worked at the Hard Deck. You would leave the bar, bringing Bradley his favorite draft beer and he would follow you back. Chatting you up for a few minutes, give you a wink and wave goodbye to the retreating backs of the men who had tried so hard to take you home.

He always wished it was him who you would’ve asked at the beginning.

And now here you were, looking cuter than ever and asking him for help.

“What was that darling?”

“Hangmannn,” you whined. Hearing you whine out to him did more to him than you would’ve thought. Of course he was going to help you, just wanted to see you get a little flustered first.

Of course he was being difficult right now. You knew he had heard you. You couldn’t believe that you were letting yourself inflate his ego even more. He was gorgeous, you couldn’t deny that, but he was cocky and arrogant. And be knew it, that somehow irritated you the most. He knew what he did to you and just couldn’t help himself.

“Alright, lets go sweets,” he smiled, placing his beer on the table and intertwining his fingers with yours as he led you back to the bar.

But when you went to let go of his hand, Hangman surprised you.

He followed you behind the bar, picking up a dish rag to wipe the spilled drinks that had accumulated during your time away.

“Hangman you don’t ha—”

“Jake,” he corrected, a playful grin reaching his eyes as he admired your confused face.

“Call me Jake.”

“Jake,” you smiled, nodding your head and turning away so he couldn’t catch another look at your flustered state. You enjoyed how his name rolled off your tongue, it felt personal. And little did you know, so did he.

Jake had far surpassed your expectations as a fake boyfriend. He wasn’t overbearing or showboating. He simply just talked, keeping your attention glued to him the entire night as he helped you serve the bar.  And it worked, you felt like you were in your own little world as the two of you continued conversation, the unruly patrons at the back of your memory as all you did was hand them a drink and a half-hearted smile.

From talking about your families and growing up to the most embarrassing moments of your college days, you talked for hours on end. You don’t think you’ve ever laughed so hard in your entire life.

And when your shift ended, Jake had helped you close up. He walked you to your car, hands intertwined, you don’t even remember whose hand reached for whose.

You dropped your hand from his, unlocking your door and giving him one final glance.

“Thanks Jake, I had fun tonight.”

“Anytime darlin” he dipped his head down to yours, pretending to dip a cowboy hat towards you.

You shook your head with a boisterous laugh before climbing into your car and reversing out of the parking lot.

Jake decided from that point on he would do anything and everything he could to make you laugh like that again, and you had a sneaking suspicion that you would let him.

Could you write a crossover story featuring Beau/Ally and Harm/Savanna?

Ladies and gents we got ourselves a crossover! Refs to both Ally's career in JAG and Beau being a flyboy.

It’s in a park by The Naval Yard that Mac first sees Harm again. It’s been nine years since she last laid eyes on him and he still looks as handsome as the day he packed his bag and walked out the door.  He’s standing alongside the coffee kiosk, hands tucked into the pockets of his dark overcoat as he surveys the menu board fixed the outer wall.

She doesn’t expect to see him back in Washington DC, the last she heard he was seeing a girl down in New Orleans, spending all his shore leave celebrating Jazzfest and Madri Grais. That man, she’d thought at the time, he’ll never grow up.  

She hasn’t had a single successful relationship since she left Harmon Rabb and she blames him for that. She blames him for a lot of things. The two of them had made a pact when they’d flipped that coin, he was supposed to stay out of the service, live life as a civilian in San Diego. They’d get married, have a couple of kids.

It had worked for a while but then he’d run into Ally again and it had all started to fall apart. The Admiral's Wife, Mac calls her, because she’d married Beau Simpson a decade ago, the rear admiral in charge of the Top Gun program.

Harm had been her mentor when she was coming up through JAG. He’s walked her down the aisle when she had married Beau at sunset in Cape Rey. Mac remembers she’d been a ferocious little thing, tenacious and fierce in the face of adversity. She packed a hell of a punch in the court room. Mac should know, she’d run up against her a couple of times since taking the promotion in San Diego.

“She’s as good as you.” Mac had told Harm over dinner one night. “And just as infuriating.”

“No.” Harm had responded, sipping from his beer bottle. “She’s better.”

It was Ally that had urged Harm to rejoin the Navy, her and Beau. Mac couldn’t see how unhappy he was at the time, she hadn’t understood it, not really. She remembers the day he’d come home from the airfield, eyes bright with exhilaration. He’d been out flying again with Beau, the two of them were like boys with toys once they got up in the sky. Testing boundaries, playing wargames, showing off. He always ended up at their home afterwards, talking cases over dinner with Ally or swapping war stories with Beau. He would come home with a smile on his face, smelling of cigar smoke, tasting of whiskey.

“I’m re-enlisting.” He’s told her that night after he stepped out of the shower. “It’s a different commission from JAG, it won’t mess up our agreement.”

He was wrong, it had been the end of everything. The posting that Beau had offered him meant he was away on aircraft carriers for six months out of the year, flying jets and sailing ships, the two things he loved most in the world.

Mac had hated him for that, she hated Beau and Ally for giving him that option because now she was the one left behind. The lonely one, the sad one.

It had lasted one deployment.

By the time the next one came up, it was over.   

It was a way of punishing him at the time, she’d expected him to resign his commission, come back with his tail between his legs, but he hadn’t. He’d packed a bag instead and gone to stay with Ally and Beau before shipping out to the USS Allegiance, she hadn’t seen him since. She’d heard stories over the years from mutual friends, places he’d been, women he was seeing. He’d become the Harm she used to know, the one without ties or commitments.

She had always believed they would find their way back to each other. Nine years and thousands of miles later, it’s finally happening on a rainy day in Washington DC.

She doesn’t realise how wrong she is, not until she sees you. You’re hurrying towards him, gesturing with your hands, your voice full of apology. He smiles then, and it’s that smile that completely obliterates her. She’s never seen him smile like that, not in all the years she’s known him.

You’re nothing special, not really. She’d call you pretty as opposed to beautiful, a step down from the women he usually covets. You aren’t military, she can tell from your walk, but you carry, she can see it in the way your coat drapes. Law enforcement then, she assumes. Most likely NCIS.

Strong women, she recalls. That’s what Harm’s attracted to, strong capable women.

It’s when he kisses you, she knows that it’s real. When he cradles your face between his large hands, there’s such tenderness in his expression. He looks at you as if you’re the most precious thing in the world and her heart just breaks. He’s loved before, she realises in that moment but he’s never been in love, not until you.

Her eyes start to sting because for all these years she’s clung to this hope, this stupid ridiculous dream that the two of them were meant for each other. She’d imagined that they’d bump into one another, their eyes would lock and it would be like it was back then. Nights filled with fire and passion, their days adventure and laughter.

That life, it isn’t a reality anymore.

It’s clear that Harm’s moved on and it’s time that Mac does too.

Take a second look at this Delta Boeing 727 - did you notice the winglets? N510DA was one of two 727s the carrier fitted with winglets in 1993 in order to test the effects in terms of fuel savings. Given the short service period left, the benefits compared to the investment did obviously not justify re-fitting the rest of the fleet, and N510DA together with her sister N511DA remained the only two oddbirds in Delta's 196 units strong Boeing 727 fleet.

Choosing the right Bridal Makeup Service San Diego ensures that you'll radiate confidence, beauty, and elegance as you walk down the aisle, making a lasting impression on your guests and, most importantly, on your partner.

They are also trained in techniques that ensure your makeup lasts all day and night, holding up through the ceremony, reception, and any other events that may follow.

One of the first things to consider when selecting a bridal makeup artist in San Diego is their level of expertise and experience. San Diego is home to a diverse range of makeup artists, each with their own approach to bridal beauty. Some may specialize in natural, understated looks, while others may focus on more glamorous or bold styles. Regardless of your personal preference, it's essential to choose a makeup artist who understands your vision and can execute it flawlessly. Look for professionals who have experience working with different skin tones, face shapes, and wedding themes, as well as a portfolio that showcases a variety of bridal looks.

In addition to artistic skill, a professional bridal makeup artist should be familiar with long-lasting techniques and products that ensure your makeup remains intact throughout the day. Weddings can be emotional, and tears, hugs, and even kisses can take a toll on your makeup. Professional artists use high-quality, long-wearing products that are designed to withstand these elements. Waterproof mascaras, setting sprays, and long-lasting foundations ensure that your look stays fresh and flawless, no matter what the day brings.

They should also be able to make suggestions and provide expert advice on what will work best for you, taking into account factors such as your wedding dress, venue, and season.

Trial sessions are a crucial part of the bridal makeup process. Before the big day, a trial run allows you to work closely with your makeup artist to test out different looks and find the perfect one. This is your opportunity to experiment with colors, textures, and techniques, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied with the final result. It also allows you to see how the makeup holds up throughout the day, providing peace of mind that everything will be perfect when it matters most. During the trial, be sure to communicate openly with your makeup artist about any preferences, concerns, or special needs, such as sensitive skin or specific makeup allergies.

A professional bridal makeup artist not only provides services on the day of the wedding but can also offer valuable advice on skin preparation leading up to the event. Healthy, glowing skin is the perfect canvas for makeup, and a good makeup artist will offer recommendations for skincare routines or treatments that can enhance your complexion. Whether it’s suggesting moisturizers, facials, or exfoliation methods, these tips can help you achieve a radiant look that needs minimal coverage.

Ultimately, the goal of bridal makeup is to make you feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable on your wedding day. With the right professional by your side, you can trust that your makeup will be one less thing to worry about, allowing you to focus on the joy and excitement of the day. San Diego offers a wealth of talented bridal makeup artists who are dedicated to helping brides look and feel their best. Whether you prefer a natural glow, a bold statement, or something in between, you can find a makeup artist who will bring your vision to life, ensuring you shine on one of the most important days of your life.

Comprehensive Guide to Air Duct Cleaning San Diego

Keep your home air ducts as clean as possible for it to have a healthful indoors climate. In San Diego, for example, a lot of dust pervades this city and/or during seasons having allergy issues, and you should really consider air duct cleaning. It can just make your air system send contaminants around your house, impacting your health as well as making your air conditioning and heating system less efficient. In this paper, we shall discuss the importance of air duct cleaning in San Diego, what makes you see that your ducts need attention, and the benefits of getting professional services in San Diego.

Why Air Duct Cleaning Matters

If you have a heating or cooling system in your house, air will pump through the air ducts in your house. Eventually, dust and debris, along with almost all allergens imaginable, will make their way into your ducts. Without treatment, these contaminants would certainly degrade the quality of air in your house. It will prevent your HVAC system from working at its peak efficiency.

It is excellent in advantages of cleaning air ducts

Improved air quality: Cleaner air ducts ensure not all circulating dust, pollen, mold spores, and other pollutants in the air.

Increased energy efficiency: The system will incur fewer energy bills because a clean system does not need effort to have to work hard in distributing air throughout the house.

Longer HVAC system lifespan: Dust damages sensitive components in HVAC systems; a long-lasting system.

Lesser allergens: Once the ducts are clean, there are lesser allergens circulating within your home. This would make it a cleaner environment for anyone suffering from allergies or respiratory conditions.

Indices That Air Duct Cleaning in San Diego Should be Contemplated

Although it may be a bit difficult to say when your ducts may need cleaning, there are a few very obvious signs that basically tell you that it is time for the San Diego air duct cleaning service.

You observe a heavy dust buildup: The ductwork of your house is covered with a layer of dust.

There are some kinds of moldy odors: If your air conditioning system does it and gives off unpleasant smells as soon as it starts to work, then it may be due to the presence of molds or mildews inside your ducts.

Unequal airflow: You find out that parts of your house receive very little air circulation while others get plenty of it: This can be an indication of dust building up in the ducts.

More allergies: More sneezing, coughing, or watery, itchy eyes indicates possible that your ducts are circulating allergens.

The Air Duct Cleaning Process

A professional hired in San Diego will accomplish his or her job properly when cleaning your air duct to remove dangerous impurities.

Examination

Pre-cleaning inspection: The technician inspects the ducts for damage, mold growth, and accumulation of dust.

Airflow testing: In most places, the technicians may also take some tests of your HVAC system to trace the blockages.

Cleaning

Debris removal by vacuum: Powerful vacuums clean out debris, dust, and grime accumulated in the ducts.

Scrubbing of ducts: Special brushes and compression tools with airpower these scrubbings are used to loosen hard particles or mold stuck in the ducting.

Sanitizing

Application of antimicrobial coating: Certain professionals will ensure that the ducts are sanitized. This application will help prevent mold and bacteria growth.

Final Inspection

Final check: The technician just takes time to review the system after cleaning it to ensure that everything has been cleaned well and works great in efficiency.

How Frequently to Clean Air Ducts?

General rule of thumb is 3 to 5 years. However, depending on the following conditions, you might need to clean it more often.

Pet owners: You are expected to gather pet hair and dander in the air ducts faster, especially in case you have several pets in your house.

House members with allergies: if you experience severe allergies with the household, it would be wise enough to get your air ducts cleaned once in a year, or maybe once every two years.

After reconstruction work: the reconstruction work will surely attract so much dust and debris within your duct that settle inside.

Mold-related issues: in case of house mold-related issues, the regular cleaning will negate the ability of the same to seep through the ducts.

Do It Yourself vs. Professional Air Duct Cleaning

Why Do You Need Professional Cleaning?

High-Powered Equipment: Anything that has stuck its way into the ductwork from your house must be removed with high-powered vacuums, brushes, and other equipment by a professional.

Deep cleaning: DIY measures cannot reach all parts of the ducts, whereas a professional will clean the whole thing.

Damage prevention: Lack of proper tools may damage your HVAC system in a DIY attempt at cleaning ducts, and that would be money thrown out the window for the long haul.

San Diego Air Duct Cleaning Price

The cost may also vary based on the size of your home and the extent of contamination in the ducts. Based on San Diego, air duct cleaning costs are priced differently; indeed, it should be, because it’s a large city.

Average costs: Professional duct cleaning service in San Diego can cost between $300 and $600.

What Influences the Price?: The number of ducts, the complexity of your system, and the services plus sanitizing will govern the final price.

It may seem quite pricey but is surely worth it with the life spans of your systems and with all the benefits that it could give you about your energy and health as well.

Choosing the Right Air Duct Cleaning Company

Here is a guide when selecting a company in San Diego:

Certification: Ensure the company has credentials from organizations like the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, NADCA.

Experience: Companies with enough years of experience with good reviews from satisfied customers will be the best to choose.

Services offered: Other services offered by the businesses apart from HVAC service are cleaning and disinfecting dryer vents.

The health benefits of regular air duct cleaning

It improves your general well-being and that of your family to have the duct cleaned regularly. Beyond the mere energy savings and efficiency of a system, air duct cleaning in San Diego does a lot to take care of home occupant health.

Reducing respiratory issues: Clear air ducts reduce the presence of noxious allergens and pollutants that could cause or worsen respiratory conditions.

Prevent the risk of mold: The humid climate in San Diego often causes molds to appear inside your ducts, which can be strongly related to serious health issues. Preventing regular cleaning prevents this.

Better sleep quality: In one way, of course, better air quality can be said to lead to even better sleep because you breathe in more clean, fresher air.

Conclusion

San Diego air duct cleaning done periodically reduces energy expenses, enhances HVAC performance, and helps to preserve interior air quality. Ensure that the air ducts are clean since you want to keep your house safe and warm for you and your family. This is the time that you clean it; you haven’t in a very long time.

There are 2 ships of this class, the Izumo and the Kaga. The Kaga recently underwent testing off the the coast of San Diego with the US Navy for landing of F35B SVOTL aircraft

Kaga began her initial modifications for fixed wing aircraft in March 2022 at the Japan Marine United (JMU) shipyard in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture. The proposed modification of Kaga will be more extensive than for her sister ship (and significantly more expensive) and includes changes to the shape of the bow. The initial modification of Kaga was completed in early 2024 and is to be followed by a second modification to the ship's interior, which is expected to begin in late 2026 and be completed by the end of Fiscal Year 2027

RVC9 Article - October 2023

From Rachel Kibler - RVC9

How is it already October? Well, happy fall, Region 9! The leaves are changing for some of us, but most of y’all get gorgeous weather year-round. My dog gets exhilarated by the cool weather, and he does his “zoomies” when he comes in from the cold. 

In addition to the Jewel awards I mentioned last month, a couple of our members received honors of the highest sort. Angie Mattson, from Orange County Mensa, has received Testing Coordinator of the Year for the second time! Simone van Egeren, from San Diego Mensa, received the Distinguished Service Award, which is given to someone for service to Mensa on a national scale. In this case, Simone received it for her work as our national historian. Please congratulate these remarkable women the next time you see them.

I’m excited to attend Greater Los Angeles Area Mensa’s (GLAAM) Regional Gathering (RG) in February! If you haven’t already registered, you can find more information here:

 https://www.glaam.org/regional-gathering/stargazing-2024/.

I hope to see you there!

My trip to California to have dinner with Channel Islands Mensa and attend Orange County Mensa’s RG was delightful. I had a very gracious host in Channel Islands, William Noack, who showed me around, and almost 10% of the group showed up for dinner! Orange County threw a great party, thanks to John Olsen, Nikki Smith, and Valerie Spear. Meeting with members is the best part of being the Region Vice Chair.

It's that time: if you are interested in getting involved, all you have to do is reach out! Your local group will thank you, and if you want to serve on a national committee or at the regional level, let me know! You can email me at rachelregion9@gmail.com.

Be kind to each other, engage with each other, and I hope to see you soon!
