Mornin'.
It's Thursday, May 16th.
1866 - The U.S. Congress authorized the first 5-cent piece to be minted.
1868 - U.S. President Andrew Johnson was acquitted during the Senate impeachment, by one vote.
1888 - The capitol of Texas was dedicated in Austin.
1910 - The U.S. Bureau of Mines was authorized by the U.S. Congress.
1960 - A Big Four summit in Paris collapsed due to the American U-2 spy plane incident.
1960 - Theodore Maiman, at Hughes Research Laboratory in California, demonstrated the first working laser.
1963 - After 22 Earth orbits Gordon Cooper returned to Earth, ending Project Mercury.
1965 - Spaghetti-O's went on sale.
1971 - U.S. postage for a one-ounce first class stamp was increased from 6 to 8 cents.
1987 - The Bobro 400 set sail from New York Harbor with 3,200 tons of garbage. The barge travelled 6,000 miles in search of a place to dump its load. It returned to New York Harbor after 8 weeks with the same load.
1988 - A report released by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop declared that nicotine was addictive in similar ways as heroin and cocaine.
1988 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police do not have to have a search warrant to search discarded garbage.
1992 - The Endeavour space shuttle landed safely after its maiden voyage.
2000 - U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was nominated to run for U.S. Senator in New York. She was the first U.S. first lady to run for public office.
Today's thought:
Never say “I’ve got a gun.” If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
C0ffee's on.

Morning all - - - only took about 10 minutes to read the posts since Sunday - - --wow, this network is slow. Maybe that is why no posts.
Grabbing a ph00 first - - - uhhhh, what is that on the counter. PHuzz all over it. Where is the ph00? UUUpppss, knocked over that phuzz whatever - - something oooozzzed out - - - .....
.............me thinks I found the ph00 pot under the phuzz. Oh well, shows I have been gone - - nobody appreciates that fine ph00 - - - clean it up and making new.
Just got in late last night from the Florida Keys - - had a wonderful RV site. Slid in sideways to the water so we had 10' of key grass, then the beach. So, our view during lunch was grass, beach, water as far as one could see with kite surfers having a ball in the 15 knot winds doing their flips and spills. Really neat spot. Sure isolated - - had no idea what Obama had been doing while we were gone - - - found out the same old when we got home last night - - he has been doing nothing useful, only harmful - - all is normal .............
OK, ph00 is done, pouring a cup and off to catch up on chores. Have a gudurn.

Ok, I just heard about this local story. I half expected it to be one of the DTR members from the Alberta chapter.

Mornin' all.
It's Friday, May 17th.
1792 - The New York Stock Exchange was founded at 70 Wall Street by 24 brokers.
1940 - Germany occupied Brussels, Belgium and began the invasion of France.
1946 - U.S. President Truman seized control of the nation's railroads, delaying a threatened strike by engineers and trainmen.
1954 - The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled for school integration in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. The ruling declared that racially segregated schools were inherently unequal.
1973 - The U.S. Senate Watergate Committee began its hearings.
1980 - Rioting erupted in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood after an all-white jury in Tampa acquitted four former Miami police officers of fatally beating black insurance executive Arthur McDuffie. Eight people were killed in the rioting.
1985 - Bobby Ewing died on the season finale of "Dallas" on CBS-TV. He returned the following season.
1987 - An Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf, killing 37 American sailors. Iraq and the United States called the attack a mistake.
2000 - Thomas E. Blanton Jr. and David Luker surrendered to police in Birmingham, AL. The two former Ku Klux Klan members were arrested on charges from the bombing of a church in 1963 that killed four young black girls.
2006 - The U.S. aircraft carrier Oriskany was sunk about 24 miles off Pensacola Beach. It was the first vessel sunk under a Navy program to dispose of old warships by turning them into diving attractions. It was the largest man-made reef at the time of the sinking.
2007 - Trains crossed the border dividing North and South Korea for the first time since 1953.
Today's thought:
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
C0ffee and ph00 are ready.
