The All New Gummy Cajun Breakroom 10/31/10 - 11/6/10

And just to ensure we have no more losses you all will notice the new addition of a resident tooth detective to find and identify those lost teeth. Not much of an addition, but I heard that there was a part of the saw garage that was not being used so I cut it off, and stapled it to the corner, next to the janitors closet.

Morning all. Tired. Didn't sleep well. Sinuses plugged up.

Today is Sunday, October 31st. Only 55 more days 'til Christmas.

On this day in 1864 - Nevada became the 36th state to join the U.S.

1868 - Postmaster General Alexander Williams Randall approved a standard uniform for postal carriers.

1926 - Magician Harry Houdini died of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix. His appendix had been damaged twelve days earlier when he had been punched in the stomach by a student unexpectedly. During a lecture Houdini had commented on the strength of his stomach muscles and their ability to withstand hard blows.

1940 - The British air victory in the Battle of Britain prevented Germany from invading Britain.

1941 - Mount Rushmore was declared complete after 14 years of work. At the time the 60-foot busts of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were finished.

1941 - The U.S. Navy destroyer Reuben James was torpedoed by a German submarine near Iceland. The U.S. had not yet entered World War II. More than 100 men were killed.

1952 - The U.S. detonated its first hydrogen bomb.

1959 - Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine from Fort Worth, TX, announced that he would never return to the U.S. At the time he was in Moscow, Russia.

1961 - In the Soviet Union, the body of Joseph Stalin was removed from Lenin's Tomb where it was on public display.

1968 - U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a halt to all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam.

1969 - Wal-Mart Discount City stores were incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

1998 - Iraq announced that it was halting all dealings with U.N. arms inspectors. The inspectors were investigating the country's weapons of mass destruction stemming from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

1999 - EgyptAir Flight 990 crashed off the coast of Nantucket, MA, killing all 217 people aboard.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If you don't pay your exorcist, do you get repossessed?

Coffee's ready. I am not.

Morning, cider and cinnamon donut holes are ready top go. Little frosty this morning, but clear. Starting to get the desire to shoot something. Haven't really had the hunting bug yet, but feels like it's starting now.

Morning folks, took yesterday off to watch the grand daughter, it was a good day. Working tonight, it ought to be fun. I like being assaulted with rocks bricks, bottles, and paintball guns while operating on the fire ground. Wonder how many windows will be blown out this year? Anyway, the wife and daughter are taking the little one to the station tonight for trick or treat, hopefully I will be there.


What are you folks doing for the great pumpkin tonight?

A lot of trick or treating was done last night as well. We had patrols out spot checking sex offender residences for any suspicious activity. I'm sure the extra visibility averted a lot of the normal trouble.

I agree. Our PD ramps it up pretty heavy for Halloween, we learned that the hard way.

We got dispatched to a dumpster fire last year that was against a building, what they forgot to say it was under the rear porch's of a 4 story block. We roll up and the entire rear of the building is going. So we commence operations and low and behold about 20 natives come out of the wood work with jacked up paintball guns making an all out assault on us. There were a couple cops there but they retreated to the safety of their cruisers until riot control could show up. We actually manned the deck guns for protection instead of firefighting. I rather enjoyed it at that point.
