Dragon's Den and Breakroom 02.28.10-03.06.10

Well its the last day of February and March is waiting right around the corner. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and pull up a chair. Don't worry, even though were are in the Dragon's Den this week it's still nice and comfortable, plus the heating bill is cheap!

Got an interview thursday with the power company, passed the pre-employment test I took recently.

Hope everyone is doing well!

It's a little after 0700 on a Sunday morning... what the heck are you all DOING? You should be awake and HERE! Let's not have another week like last week.



Today is Sunday, February 28th.

Of special interest to Matt; On this day in 1827 - The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad became the first railroad incorporated for commercial transportation of people and freight.

1844 - Several people were killed aboard the USS Princeton when a 12-inch gun exploded.

1849 - Regular steamboat service to California via Cape Horn arrived in San Francisco for the first time. The SS California had left New York Harbor on October 6, 1848. The trip took 4 months and 21 days.

1854 - The Republican Party was organized in Ripon, WI. About 50 slavery opponents began the new political group.

1861 - The U.S. territory of Colorado was organized.

1885 - AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) was incorporated. The company was capitalized on only $100,000 and provided long distance service for American Bell.

1911 - Thomas A. Edison, Inc. was organized.

1951 - A Senate committee issued a report that stated that there were at least two major crime syndicates in the U.S.

1953 - In a Cambridge University laboratory, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick discovered the double-helix structure of DNA.

1956 - A patent was issued to Forrester for a computer memory core.

1962 - The John Glenn for President club was formed by a group of Las Vegas republicans.

1979 - Mr. Ed, the talking horse from the TV show "Mr. Ed", died.

1983 - "M*A*S*H" became the most watched television program in history when the final episode aired.

1993 - U.S. Federal agents raided the compound of an armed religious cult in Waco, TX. The ATF had planned to arrest the leader of the Branch Davidians, David Koresh, on federal firearms charges. Four agents and six Davidians were killed and a 51-day standoff followed.

1994 - NATO made its first military strike when U.S. F-16 fighters shot down four Bosnian Serb warplanes in violation of a no-fly zone over central Bosnia.

1995 - The Denver International Airport opened after a 16-month delay.

Evening everyone. Did the normal sunday thing with the wife today. Went to lunch, did the grocery shopping, and ran a few other errands. She's making meatloaf, homemade noodles, mashed taters, and gravy for dinner tonight. Feeling thousand times better today, head is still clogged up but draining now. Glad the crud is almost gone.
