Its funny, I always thought of Norway as being cold all the time. Wonder why the cost of living there is so much higher. Probably get a good deal on Lutefisk.

I seriously think everyone should have to do one year of military service at age 17-19. no excuses.
Watching them on TV doesnt ever do a good ceremony justice. In person you can feel every synchronized footfall.

We need to get a lid for that pot. Seems like a lot of "accidents" fall in it.
Glad your sister is ok. Just amazing they can do that sort of surgery than let the patient go home so soon.

Someone left the cake out in the rain.

Midnight snack time,

Wedding cake with that good coffee that red3/4 gets at training sounds good.

Mornin'.

Sis, changed what I was able to change, the rest is up to someone with more power than me! Oh, and you can keep the plasma, but thank you!



Today is Friday, August 5th.

On this day in 1833 - The village of Chicago was incorporated. The population was approximately 250.

1861 - The U.S. federal government levied its first income tax. The tax was 3% of all incomes over $800. The wartime measure was rescinded in 1872.

1864 - During the U.S. Civil War, Union forces led by Adm. David G. Farragut were led into Mobile Bay, Alabama.

1884 - On Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty was laid.

1914 - The first electric traffic lights were installed in Cleveland, Ohio.

1944 - Polish insurgents liberated a German labor camp in Warsaw. 348 Jewish prisoners were freed.

1953 - During the Korean conflict prisoners were exchanged at Panmunjom. The exchange was labeled Operation Big Switch.

1964 - U.S. aircraft bombed North Vietnam after North Vietnamese boats attacked U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.

1969 - The Mariner 7, a U.S. space probe, passed by Mars. Photographs and scientific data were sent back to Earth.

1974 - U.S. President Nixon said that he expected to be impeached. Nixon had ordered the investigation into the Watergate break-in to halt.

1981 - The U.S. federal government started firing striking air traffic controllers.

1986 - It was revealed that artist Andrew Wyeth had secretly created 240 drawings and paintings of his neighbor. The works of Helga Testorf had been created over a 15-year period.

1990 - U.S. President George H.W. Bush angrily denounced the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

1992 - Federal civil rights charges were filed against four Los Angeles police officers. The officers had been acquitted on California State charges. Two of the officers were convicted and jailed on violation of civil rights charges.

1998 - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein began not cooperating with U.N. weapons inspectors.

1998 - Marie Noe of Philadelphia, PA was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, accused of smothering eight of her children to death between 1949 and 1968. Noe later received 20 years' probation.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If a tree fell on a mime in the forest, would he make a sound and would anyone care?

Coffee's on. Get it before it reacts with something. Or someONE.

Taxes mostly.
i.e. the sales tax on a new vehicle is 100%. then you buy your tag based on engine displacement. there is a tax on anything bad for you. sugar being the highest.
the other side of that, health care is free.

Talked to the doc today. Going to get another shot or two in the arm on Monday and hopefully I will be in for the EMG and MRI next week. Our health care is good care when it happens. Only downfall is that it takes too long for some stuff.

However, if we could take what we have and merge some of it with some of what is available elsewhere, we might have something real good.

Time to be a lounge mode sloth. Last day of vacation today.

OK, off to beddy bye - - tired, sore, but fed and happy. Lots of progress.

Bob
