Today is Monday, June 10, the 161st day of 2019. There are 204 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:
On June 10, 1967, six days of war in the Mideast involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq ended as Israel and Syria accepted a United Nations-mediated cease-fire.

On this date:
In 1610, Englishman Lord De La Warr arrived at the Jamestown settlement to take charge of the Virginia Colony.
In 1692, the first execution resulting from the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts took place as Bridget Bishop was hanged.
In 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in Akron, Ohio, by Dr. Robert Holbrook Smith and William Griffith Wilson.
In 1942, during World War II, German forces massacred 173 male residents of Lidice (LIH'-dyiht-zeh), Czechoslovakia, in retaliation for the killing of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich.
In 1944, German forces massacred 642 residents of the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane.
In 1957, in Canadian elections, John Diefenbaker (DEE'-fehn-BAY'-kur) led the Progressive Conservatives to an upset victory over the Liberal party of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent (LOO'-ee sant law-RAHNT').
In 1971, President Richard M. Nixon lifted a two-decades-old trade embargo on China.
In 1977, James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., escaped from Brushy Mountain State Prison in Tennessee with six others; he was recaptured June 13.
In 1978, Affirmed, ridden by Steve Cauthen, won the 110th Belmont Stakes to claim horse racing's 11th Triple Crown. (Alydar was second while Darby Creek Road came in third in a five-horse field.)
In 1990, Alberto Fujimori (foo-jee-MOHR'-ee) was elected president of Peru by a narrow margin over novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. Two members of the rap group 2 Live Crew were arrested in Hollywood, Florida (they and a third band member were later acquitted of obscenity charges).
In 1991, 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard of South Lake Tahoe, California, was abducted by Phillip and Nancy Garrido; Jaycee was held by the couple for 18 years before she was found by authorities.
In 2001, the Supreme Court, without comment, turned down a request to allow the videotaping of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's execution, scheduled for the following day.

Ten years ago: James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist, opened fire in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., killing security guard Stephen T. Johns. (Von Brunn died at a North Carolina hospital in January 2010 while awaiting trial.) Donald Trump fired Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, who'd sparked controversy when she said gays shouldn't be allowed to marry, citing contract violations.


Five years ago: In a stunning assault that exposed Iraq's eroding central authority, al-Qaida-inspired militants overran much of Mosul. In a major victory for the tea party, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was defeated by Dave Brat, a little-known economics professor, in Virginia's Republican primary. A judge struck down tenure and other job protections for California's public school teachers as unconstitutional, saying such laws harmed students by saddling them with bad teachers who were almost impossible to fire.


One year ago: President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Singapore, two days ahead of their summit. The musical "The Band's Visit" captured 10 Tony Awards. Rafael Nadal earned his 11th French Open title, and his 17th overall in Grand Slam events, beating Dominic Thiem in the men's final.

Good morning / afternoon Tobacco Bugs...  We tried the Coffee - Community Coffee & Chicory Ground Coffee 12 oz.  It is stronger than the breakfast blends that we normally drink.  The creamer in the coffee looked very dark tan rather then the light golden tan, so I guess because of the strength..?  I must say, I did like it.  Not something I'd drink every day, but nice every once in awhile to give ya a good jolt..!  So again, I cutting grass.  Actually, my wife took over so I can use the computer...  That's all I know at the moment..!

Generally, the darker the roast, the less caffeine. Therefore, if you're looking for that jolt, go with a lighter roast.

The $4.94   Coffee - New England Coffee Blueberry Cobbler, 11 oz. was very good.  My wife really liked it.  The reason I tried it was due to a pipe tobacco review for a berry flavored tobacco.  The guy said this coffee went great with Ole Shenandoah Summer Berry, so I bought the coffee and a tin of the tobacco, but I haven't tried the tobacco yet...  But the coffee is very good, just not an every day coffee for me.  Allot of good reviews.  I got it on line at Walmart...

Since we're all doom and gloom already, one of my colleagues passed away from pancreatic cancer this weekend. Elvira Buban will be sorely missed.
A very non-forgiving cancer, sorry you lost a good friend.
which makes it all the more i.pressive that Alex Trabek seems to be doing so well.
That really is pretty amazing

Much appreciated. She was a most pleasant woman who was widowed about a decade ago by her husband's battle with the same ailment.

That's awfully coincidental.  Same form of cancer, that is.

Yeah, saw that.  Going the way of many long time Austin institutions.  Not high-end enough for that neighborhood any longer.
"Reached by phone later June 10, Hutchinson said he was ready to move on after nearly four decades. He added that he has a good relationship with his landlord, the Joseph family, but that business has dropped by 30 to 40 percent in the past 10 years."

That's one of the other problems with pancreatic...mostly asymptomatic, so by the time you have something to complain about, you're in to stage 4.
