Morning.
It's Monday, October 11th.
On this day in 1759 - Parson Mason Weems was born. He is remembered for his fictitious stories that he presented as fact. He was responsible for the story about George Washington cutting down his father's cherry tree.
1776 - During the American Revolution the first naval battle of Lake Champlain was fought. The forces under Gen. Benedict Arnold suffered heavy losses.
1929 - JCPenney opened a store in Milford, DE, making it a nationwide company with stores in all 48 states.
1939 - U.S. President Roosevelt was presented with a letter from Albert Einstein that urged him to develop the U.S. atomic program rapidly.
1942 - The Battle of Cape Esperance, during World War II, began in the Solomons.
1968 - Apollo 7 was launched by the U.S. The first manned Apollo mission was the first in which live television broadcasts were received from orbit.
1975 - "Saturday Night Live" was broadcast for the first time. George Carlin was the guest host.
1983 - The last hand-cranked telephones in the U.S. went out of service. The 440 telephone customers of Bryant Pond, ME, were switched to direct-dial service.
1994 - The Colorado Supreme Court declared that the anti-gay rights measure in the state was unconstitutional.
2002 - In Cedar Grove, WI, ten people were killed when more than two dozen vehicles crashed on a foggy highway.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?
Coffee and all the other crud is ready.

What to do with all that old junk laying around the house. Well, you could combine it for a fun, labor saving project. All you need is the old RC car that you busted up because you can't drive any better with it than you can on the road. Grandpa's old electric wheelchair and that crappy old push mower you don't want to use anyway. A little bit of labor and presto, your new, recycled lawn mower is here.
