I still occasionally play CO2 on line (PC). Still a few good servers out there. 64 idiots all on line at the same time with new maps can't be a bad thing.

Happy new year everybody. Cant believe I am still up. Visited old folks today, M-inlaw had her teeth in so I couldnt steal them. Gonna go play for awhile and hit the sack.

Good morning, happy new year (again) and any other nice things you can think about.
For a change it's not quite so Paradisy here this morning. Was cool and gray all day yesterday with temps in the low 60's. This morning it is raining. That's OK because everything is dry and we need the rain.
Tomorrow I come out of retirement again. Been asked to go back to work to help fix some big problems. This is part time, 20 hours a week, so it is perfect for me. Only problem is that now I can't go away for a week or so at a time. Oh, well, can't have everything.

Larry, Curly, Moe and Shemp? Pictures? Wow, this site does attract some odd characters, doesn't it? Present company excepted of course. Only trouble with some of these odd characters is that whatever ails them, tend to be contagious and rub off on the rest of the so-called sane people here.

Odd and normal, have a great day wherever you are. Hope some of you don't freeze or get buried too deep.

Happy morning.

Today is Sunday, January 3rd.

On this day in 1496 - References in Leonardo da Vinci notebooks suggested that he tested his flying machine. The test didn't succeed and he didn't try to fly again for several years.

1777 - The Battle of Princeton took place in the War of Independence, in which George Washington defeated the British forces, led by Cornwallis.

1815 - By secret treaty, Austria, Britain, and France formed a defensive alliance against Prusso-Russian plans to solve the Saxon and Polish problems.

1823 - Stephen F. Austin received a grant from the Mexican government and began colonization in the region of the Brazos River in Texas.

1825 - The first engineering college in the U.S. , Rensselaer School, opened in Troy, NY. It is now known as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

1833 - Britain seized control of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. About 150 years later, Argentina seized the islands from the British, but Britain took them back after a 74-day war.

1871 - Henry W. Bradley patented oleomargarine.

1888 - The drinking straw was patented by Marvin C. Stone.

1925 - In Italy, Mussolini announced that he would take dictatorial powers.

1938 - The March of Dimes was established by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The organization fights poliomyelitis. The original name of the organization was the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

1947 - In Trenton, NJ, Al Herrin, passed away at age 92. He had claimed that he had not slept at all during his life. Could this be Claude's relative?

1959 - In the U.S., Alaska became the 49th state.

1961 - The U.S. severed diplomatic relations with Cuba.

Not sure if so many of you are a bunch of comics, or maybe you are just plain comic-al.

Mornin' all!

Slept in a bit today. Nice to do once or twice a year....

Made a batch of biscuits and gravy for breakfast this AM. Kids eat it like they've never seen food before. Very tasty.

Still on the cool side here. Somewhere around -30* or so. Cold enough that the back door lock froze shut and broke.... Now I need a new one. Bummer to cause it's 1.5" backspace and hard to find that size nowadays.


Gonna head for the hotsprings in a bit. Today is a good day for it. Weather is just about right. Few degrees cooler would be OK as well.

Y'all have a Guddun.
