Today is Monday, Dec. 17, the 351st day of 2018. There are 14 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Dec. 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, conducted the first successful manned powered-airplane flights near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, using their experimental craft, the Wright Flyer.
On this date:
In 1777, France recognized American independence.
In 1865, Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8, known as the "Unfinished" because only two movements had been completed, was first performed publicly in Vienna 37 years after the composer's death.
In 1944, the U.S. War Department announced it was ending its policy of excluding people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast.
In 1957, the United States successfully test-fired the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time.
In 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, 59, disappeared while swimming in the ocean off Cheviot Beach in Victoria state; despite an extensive search, his body was never found (Holt was succeeded as premier by John McEwen).
In 1969, the U.S. Air Force closed its Project "Blue Book" by concluding there was no evidence of extraterrestrial spaceships behind thousands of UFO sightings. An estimated 50 million TV viewers watched singer Tiny Tim marry his fiancee, Miss Vicky, on NBC's "Tonight Show."
In 1975, Lynette Fromme was sentenced in Sacramento, Calif. to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford. (She was paroled in Aug. 2009.)
In 1979, Arthur McDuffie, a black insurance executive, was fatally injured after leading police on a chase with his motorcycle in Miami. (Four white police officers accused of beating McDuffie were later acquitted, sparking riots.)
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari signed the North American Free Trade Agreement in separate ceremonies. (After approval by the legislative bodies of the leaders' respective countries, the treaty came into force on Jan. 1, 1994.)
In 1996, Peruvian guerrillas took hundreds of people hostage at the Japanese embassy in Lima (all but 72 of the hostages were later released by the rebels; the siege ended April 22, 1997, with a commando raid that resulted in the deaths of all the rebels, two commandos and one hostage). Kofi Annan of Ghana was appointed United Nations secretary-general.
In 2000, President-elect George W. Bush named Stanford professor Condoleezza Rice his national security adviser and Alberto Gonzales to the White House counsel's job, the same day he was named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died after more than a decade of iron rule; he was 69, according to official records, but some reports indicated he was 70.

Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama named former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack as agriculture secretary and Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado to head the Interior Department. OPEC agreed to slash 2.2 million barrels from daily production — its single largest cut ever. Pro Football Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh died in Rotan, Texas at age 94.

Five years ago: Germany’s Parliament elected Chancellor Angela Merkel to a third term as the leader of Europe’s biggest economic power, nearly three months after an awkward election result forced her to put together a new governing coalition. A suicidal gunman opened fire at a Reno, Nevada, hospital campus, killing one person and critically wounding two others before ending his own life.

One year ago: Facing an investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct and using racist language, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announced that he would sell the NFL team after the season. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" took in $220 million in its debut weekend in North America, good for the second-best opening ever and behind only its predecessor, "The Force Awakens." French sailor Francois Gabart broke the record for sailing around the world alone, circumnavigating the planet in just 42 days and 16 hours.

Thought for Today: “The man who has done his level best, and who is conscious that he has done his best, is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.” — B.C. Forbes, Scottish journalist (1880-1954).

I think it might be. At least compared to the other guy I see that has a different pair of sneakers every time I see him.

Edit: Ballsy to beg for money when you have a different pair of $150 shoes on every day. He's got a nicer smart phone than me too. I'm questioning my career choices.

Bought my daughter a pair of shoes she has been wanting (for Christmas).
Made out of recycled water bottles (good for the environment)  but the suckers cost $125!

There's a guy I see at Port Authority bus terminal every day with shopping bags on his feet. That's dedication to the environment. #ReduceReuseRecycle

Well, then kudos to him for doing his part. The Commie Coalition would be proud.

Sermon should be easy though....just read through a bunch of banters, we could easily provide basis for all 52 Sundays.
Sermon IS easy. I'm not doing it. That's my dad's job. I just have to plan the music, rehearse the band, supervise the staging, schedule rehearsals, and coordinate the lighting, sound, and projection.
oh, that all?

Hey LTG, how about them Browns?
I gotta admit, I was worried that Mayfield was a little too Manziel to work out, but it seems like he might be the real deal. After the last decade of terrible football, it's nice to have meaningful games in December again. Nate and I were there last Sunday against the Panthers. Place was rocking.

Not crazy about churchills either but that's my favorite of the 3. In fact, the Monte is last for me. Never smoked one I liked. Except maybe the Cuban #2.
