I think you're working that plan that God has for you Bob. I'll be thinking of you.

Morning all.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11th:

1752 - The Pennsylvania Hospital opened as the very first hospital in America.

1808 - Judge Jesse Fell experimented by burning anthracite coal to keep his house warm. He successfully showed how clean the coal burned and how cheaply it could be used as a heating fuel.

1812 - The term "gerrymandering" had its beginning when the governor of Massachusetts, Elbridge Gerry, signed a redistricting law that favored his party.

1937 - General Motors agreed to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union, which ended the current sit-down strike against them.

1943 - General Dwight David Eisenhower was selected to command the allied armies in Europe. (Today in World War II History)

1945 - During World War II, the Yalta Agreement was signed by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin. (Today in World War II History)

1960 - Jack Paar walked off while live on the air on the "Tonight Show" with four minutes left. He did this in response to censors cutting out a joke from the show the night before.

1990 - Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity.

1993 - Janet Reno was appointed to the position of attorney general by U.S. President Clinton. She was the first female to hold the position.

2000 - The space shuttle Endeavor took off. The mission was to gather information for the most detailed map of the earth ever made.

2006 - In Texas, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a quail hunt.

2009 - John Dingell of Michigan became the longest serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He had more than 53 years of service.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.

Coffee's on.

Yer pretty cold for that neck of the woods this morning, but about 30 degrees warmer than here in Minnesnowta.

Good morning.

j_martin, it's pretty chilly alright. I think everyone here is ready for spring. It was a mild winter and we're glad, now, vamanos!

HEE HEE - - it works - - I had programmed that for Canuck fingers only - - but basically one "Big Boy" Canuck that messes with that ph00 pot - - sorry it got you. ....

Thanks for the support and words gang - - didn't tell you to get sympathy, but nice to be able to unload sometimes and know someone cares. And you are right, Scott, God does have a plan for each of us - - now if we can just quit being so bull headed and stupid and seek that plan and walk in it.

Looks like a lighter day today unless another lightning bolt. Ya'll have great one.

Bob

Thata milestone doesnt happen all that often any more. Good on them!!!
Absolutely! Happy Anniversary to them!

37°?!?!

It's still 25° down here in Oklahoma at noon. We won't see 37° all day. I'd ask for some Alaska weather today but I know what that would get me on the cold end so I'll restrain myself. Enjoy the heat wave and the shrew poo.

Afternoon all.
