What, another one.....



Evening all. Boy, do I have a problem. A buddy hooked me up with the promoter for the State Fair the other day. Being I have past Carnie experience I didn't get excited by all the "talk" at the meeting. The guy is looking for some dirt to build a riding area for some horse demonstrations and a demo derby in about a week. He was wanting cheap dirt, free is better and I've been looking but not finding. I don't blame him for wanting it cheap but just a couple minutes ago he calls and says just find it and BTW, the first show is tomorrow night. Crap! I don't know if I can make it happen on that short of notice. Tomorrow is going to be a rough day.

Morning all.
Looks like the northeast *MIGHT* get some bad weather this weekend. I think it will be interesting to see if my emergency plans are, #1, put into action and , #2, actually work as designed!
An 18 town emergency action plan that's never been put to use could be interesting and fun to watch! 
Today is Friday, August 25th.
On this day in 1842 - The first fiscal year was established by the U.S. Congress to start on July 1st.
1873 - Dr. Lee DeForest was born. He was the inventor of the Audion tube. The tube makes the broadcasting of sound possible.
1920 - The 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect. The amendment prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex in the voting booth. So, if you have sex in a voting booth, you can't be discriminated against!
1934 - Adolf Hitler demanded that France turn over their Saar region to Germany.
1945 - The Japanese were given surrender instructions on the U.S. battleship Missouri at the end of World War II.
1957 - It was announced that an intercontinental ballistic missile was successfully tested by the Soviet Union.
1957 - The first Edsel made by the Ford Motor Company rolled out.
1987 - The Fuller Brush Company announced plans to open two retail stores in Dallas, TX. The company that had sold its products door to door for 81 years.
1991 - Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev promised that national elections would be held.
1996 - Barbara Jewell asked U.S. President Clinton to clear her son's name in connection with the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. Richard Jewell was later cleared by the Justice Department.
1998 - The U.S. government announced that they were investigating Microsoft in an attempt to discover if they "bullied" Intel into delaying new technology.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If you take an oriental person and spin him around a few times, does he become disoriented?
