Yep, without you here, there's no one to pick on about spelling. Well... not really. There's PLENTY of people here that cannot spell, you just do it more colorfully! Miss seeing you regular Claude, you need to get back into a proper routine!



MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28th, (26 Days, 18 Hours & 7 Minutes 'til Christmas)
1520 - Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan reached the Pacific Ocean after passing through the South American strait. The strait was named after him. He was the first European to sail the Pacific from the east.

1922 - Capt. Cyril Turner of the Royal Air Force gave the first public exhibition of skywriting. He spelled out, "Hello USA. Call Vanderbilt 7200" over New York's Times Square.

1925 - The Grand Ole Opry made its radio debut on station WSM.

1942 - 491 people died in a fire that destroyed the Coconut Grove in Boston.

1943 - U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin met in Tehran to map out strategy concerning World War II.

1963 - U.S. President Johnson announced that Cape Canaveral would be renamed Cape Kennedy in honor of his assassinated predecessor. The name was changed back to Cape Canaveral in 1973 by a vote of residents.

1983 - The space shuttle Columbia took off with the STS-9 Spacelab in its cargo bay.

1994 - Jeffrey Dahmer, a convicted serial killer, was clubbed to death in a Wisconsin prison by a fellow inmate.

1995 - U.S. President Clinton signed a $6 billion road bill that ended the federal 55 mph speed limit.

2010 - WikiLeaks released to the public more than 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables. About 100,000 were marked "secret" or "confidential." My feeling about Wiki is that if they could get their hands on something that was secret or confidential, then it wasn't being cared for properly in the first place. What's your opinion?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Just when you think you know someone, they try to impress someone by being someone else.

Cffee is ready. Ph00 is phabulous. Phound some phine donuts at the dumpster this morning. Enjoy!

My opinion is that your opinion is spot on.....It doesn't do much good to have Top Secret communications handled by those without a Top Secret clearance......here is how I see to handle things....declassify everything that way Nobody will be interested in the stuff anyway

Mornin' All!

Still hanging at -26* today. Couple more and it's supposed to climb towards the 0* mark.

6mo old slept nearly through the night last night for the first time in over a week. Made me feel a bit better this morning. Except the 7yo is probably getting the cold now..... Oh well, life happens.

Monday in the big house. All the Admins will be here......yipee.

She started off with the dryer.

I wish you'd make up your mind. I can't keep retraining Scott to read all the posts.

To top it all off, there is a big grass fire about 8 miles upwind of my house. Oh yeah, the power keeps flickering off too.
Sounds like a long day or two on the horizon.

So did everyone eat all their turkey? Since we had a pretty big group and we were the visitors, we're finding ourselves craving leftovers. I think since we're planning to sleep and be lazy all of December to make up for the busy November I'll do a little turkey for us.

Anyway, good to be home
Glad you made it back safe. Why didn't you shower while you were gone?
