Today is Thursday, Aug. 1, the 213th day of 2019. There are 152 days left in the year.


Today's Highlight in History:
On August 1, 1944, an uprising broke out in Warsaw, Poland, against Nazi occupation; the revolt lasted two months before collapsing.

On this date:
In 1714, Britain's Queen Anne died at age 49; she was succeeded by George I.
In 1876, Colorado was admitted as the 38th state.
In 1907, the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division, the forerunner of the U.S. Air Force.
In 1914, Germany declared war on Russia at the onset of World War I.
In 1936, the Olympics opened in Berlin with a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler.
In 1957, the United States and Canada announced they had agreed to create the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD).
In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, 25, went on an armed rampage at the University of Texas in Austin that killed 14 people, most of whom were shot by Whitman while he was perched in the clock tower of the main campus building. (Whitman, who had also slain his wife and mother hours earlier, was finally gunned down by police.)
In 1973, the movie "American Graffiti," directed by George Lucas, first opened.
In 1981, the rock music video channel MTV made its debut.
In 1994, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley confirmed they'd been secretly married 11 weeks earlier. (Presley filed for divorce from Jackson in Jan. 1996, citing irreconcilable differences.)
In 2007, the eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour, killing 13 people.
In 2013, defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he had been holed up for weeks.

Ten years ago: A fierce storm caused an outdoor stage at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta, Canada, to collapse, killing one person and injuring dozens of others. A gunman opened fired at a gay youth center in Tel Aviv, Israel, killing two people. Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, 76, died in Manila.


Five years ago: President Barack Obama, in a televised news conference, said that the United States had "tortured" al-Qaida detainees captured after 9/11, adding, "We did some things that were contrary to our values." Congress approved a $225 million package to replenish Israel's missile defense system known as Iron Dome. A medical examiner ruled that a New York City police officer's chokehold caused the death of Eric Garner, whose videotaped arrest and final pleas of "I can't breathe!" had sparked outrage.


One year ago: The remains of dozens of presumed casualties of the Korean War were returned to U.S. soil; in an emotional ceremony in Hawaii, military members carried 55 boxes draped with American flags off two military transport planes. Ohio State University put football coach Urban Meyer on paid leave amid claims that his wife knew about allegations of domestic violence against an assistant coach years before the staff member was fired.

yes it is. leaving 6:30-7am, I'll hit the Town of Perry around the 2 hour mark for breakfast, hit Carrabelle Beach on the way in to stretch and relax, hit Lynn's Oysters for lunch, drive to St George Island for more beach time and shopping, drive up to Apalachicola for window shopping and browsing. that should get me to dinnertime back in Eastpoint at the Pesky Pelican. after I'll visit with a few friends, head back to Carrabelle Beach, hit the Worlds Smallest Police Station in Carrabelle for pictures, stop in Perry for ice cream and coffee, and should get home around 8-9pm
