You weren't.



Morning all.

Today is Sunday, October 3rd.

On this day in 1863 - U.S. President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday of November would be recognized as Thanksgiving Day.

1893 - The motor-driven vacuum cleaner was patented by J.S. Thurman.

1901 - The Victor Talking Machine Company was incorporated. After a merger with Radio Corporation of America the company became RCA-Victor.

1906 - W.T. Grant opened a 25-cent department store.

1941 - Adolf Hitler stated in a speech that Russia was "broken" and they "would never rise again."

1944 - During World War II, U.S. troops broke through the Siegfried Line.

1952 - Britain became the third nuclear power in the world when they successfully detonated their first atomic bomb. The U.S. and Russia were the only other nuclear powers.

1954 - "Father Knows Best" began airing on CBS-TV.

1955 - "Captain Kangaroo" premiered on CBS-TV.

1990 - The Berlin Wall was dismantled eleven months after the borders between East and West Germany were dissolved. The unification of Germany ended 45 years of division.

1995 - O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald L. Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in a civil trial.

2003 - Ray Horn, of the duo "Siegfried & Roy," was attacked by tiger during a performance. Roy survived the attack after being dragged offstage. The tiger, a 7-year-old male named Montecore, was debuting in his first show.

2006 - North Korea announced that it would conduct a nuclear test as a key step in the manufacture of atomic bombs that it viewed as a deterrent against a U.S. attack. A date for the test was not announced.

2006 - The Dow Jones industrial average closed at a new high ending the day at 11,727.34. Earlier in the session, the Dow had risen to 11,758.95. Both previous records had been set on January 14, 2000.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Never criticize someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes! Then it’s ok because you've got their shoes and you're a mile away!!

Good morning everybody. Been absent, except for a few drive by glances at this site, so have no idea what has been hap'n here lately. Now that I stop to think about it, does anybody know (or understand) the things that happen or are said here? So what is new?

The coffee is palatable this morning, nice change from the normal swill. Even the room looks nice. Must be the woman's touch.

Been on the road with the fiver aimlessly meandering around. Stayed in Victoria, Tx and then Lavon for a few days. Right now am just north of Broken Bow, Oklhoma in a small private RV park. Nice weather here, no bugs, but starting to cool off at night. Even had to turn the heat on last night to keep my cold blooded wife happy. No idea how long we will hang around here or where we go from here, but maybe after exploring this area and pigging out on more catfish will start heading west and then south to go back home.

Be nice to one another, especially the poor losers who lost the game yesterday.

Not really. I don't need it like you do. I can appreciate the theory, tho it doesn't seem to work in your case.

Nothing like an action packed day to get you back in the groove! We've had a couple of calls out here since we came out. Made me remember what it was like!
