Today is Wednesday, Dec. 27, the 361st day of 2017. There are four days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 27, 1927, the musical play "Show Boat," with music by Jerome Kern and libretto by Oscar Hammerstein II, opened at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York, beginning a run of 572 performances.
On this date:
In 1831, naturalist Charles Darwin set out on a round-the-world voyage aboard the HMS Beagle.
In 1892, the cornerstone was laid for the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City.
In 1904, James Barrie's play "Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" opened at the Duke of York's Theater in London.
In 1932, New York City's Radio City Music Hall first opened.
In 1945, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were formally established.
In 1947, the original version of the puppet character Howdy Doody made his TV debut on NBC's "Puppet Playhouse."
In 1949, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands signed an act recognizing Indonesia's sovereignty after more than three centuries of Dutch rule.
In 1968, Apollo 8 and its three astronauts made a safe, nighttime splashdown in the Pacific.
In 1970, the musical play "Hello, Dolly!" closed on Broadway after a run of 2,844 performances.
In 1979, Soviet forces seized control of Afghanistan. President Hafizullah Amin (hah-FEE'-zoo-lah ah-MEEN'), who was overthrown and executed, was replaced by Babrak Karmal.
In 1985, Palestinian guerrillas opened fire inside the Rome and Vienna airports; 19 victims were killed, plus four attackers who were slain by police and security personnel. American naturalist Dian Fossey, 53, who had studied gorillas in the wild in Rwanda, was found hacked to death.
In 1995, Israeli jeeps sped out of the West Bank town of Ramallah, capping a seven-week pullout giving Yasser Arafat control over 90 percent of the West Bank's one million Palestinian residents and one-third of its land.

Ten years ago: Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, 54, was assassinated in a gun and suicide-bomb attack in Pakistan following a campaign rally. Kenya held an election pitting incumbent president Mwai Kibaki (mwy kih-BAH'-kee) against opposition candidate Raila Odinga (RY'-luh oh-DING'-uh); both candidates ended up claiming victory in a vote that observers said was seriously flawed. (Kenya was racked by weeks of ethnic violence; Kibaki and Odinga ended up forming a coalition government.)
Five years ago: An Indian-born man, Sunando Sen, was shoved to his death from a New York City subway platform; suspect Erika Menendez later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 24 years in prison. (Authorities say Menendez pushed Sen because she thought he was Muslim; Sen was Hindu.) Retired Army general Norman Schwarzkopf, 78, died in Tampa, Florida. Character actor Harry Carey Jr., 91, died in Santa Barbara, California.
One year ago: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh AH'-bay), accompanied by President Barack Obama, visited Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, where he offered his "sincere and everlasting condolences to the souls of those who lost their lives" in Japan's 1941 attack; Abe did not apologize, but conceded his country "must never repeat the horrors of war again." Actress Carrie Fisher died in a hospital four days after suffering a medical emergency aboard a flight to Los Angeles; she was 60. Cavaliers superstar LeBron James was voted AP Male Athlete of the Year after bringing the NBA title to Cleveland.

And a few deal posts, too. He must be house sitting at his son's place and too busy hanging around by the fence to chat up the neighbor girl.

Morning, muchachos. Sorry to be a stranger. The lead-up to Christmas was brutal. Hope everyone had a good holiday.
-
Morning Dave, Mark, Tony, and Sam. Really hurting today. Already called both doctors to get some meds for relief. No luck yet. Gotta pick up a 50" tv I bought the lady for Christmas. That's going to be fun.
Had an AF Cuban corona for breakfast, not sure whats next.

Feels like 8° at the bus stop this morning. Was out last night and am running quite late today.
Was running early today, just missed the 8:03 AM train. So I stopped and got bagels for the
office, the Indian guys like the Jalapeno Cheddar from Manhattan Bagel(None in Manhattan, BTW), by me.
At my desk now. This is severe cold weather, with the wind chill.
-
Good morning Tony, Dave & Mark!
Morning Sam. You are working stiff today as well?
Yep, took off yesterday in a futile attempt to recover from the festivities, but turned out our son, dil & 2 grand boys came over yesterday afternoon, and while extremely enjoyable, not restful in the least. so i'm here at my desk trying to rest up from being home for 4 days.... you off this week?

In theory, yes, but in practice, no, I'm at work yesterday and today. Hoping to not come back until after the 1st, though.

Howdy, Sam. I didn't even get lights up on the house this year. Everything was focused on the Christmas Eve services at church. Everyone loved what I put together, but it took all the time I had. Gotta find a better way next year.

Morning, TD. Somethin' up with Scarfish I missed?
Just he commented how there was a tragedy in Austin, a couple he knew, the
husband accidentally drove over the wife, and killed her.
Tony wanted to know if he put in in reverse and did it again.
missed the fact that it said, a couple SC redfish knew, not look at this crazy shit from Austin....

Damn! I think I owe him an apology as well. until this moment, i hadn't picked up on the fact that they were people he knew. It's what I get by not checking previous posts.

sometimes, you look, before you swing for the fences. Me I caught it just in time, not to
accidentally pile on. That and I always start at page one. Sometimes, I repost some thought somebody else
made 2 pages earlier. but it is safer that way....

All caught up... Good morning to all the newcomers.

One of my colleagues wants to take a group of us out to lunch for Mexican... I'm down with that.

Yeah, I saw the price on that fiver of Black Honey. Even with 20% off that's a wallet buster.

I'm willing to bet it would have taster better if you'd smoked it rather than eating it.

Why would I want to burn up a perfectly good cigar? Sheesh, the stuff you come up with...

Haven't had one in years but I remember them tasting like smoking air. Wound up donating all the ones I had remaining.
Edit: However, I was always impressed with the construction.

If you want to try something a bit different, and very good, give a fiver of Warped Lirio Rojo a try.

Appreciate the advice, but with the discount they're still $8 cigars. FMTT! There is no f'kn way I can see my way through that purchase.

H&L now offering 50% off cigars left in stock. Going bye-bye as of 12/31. I suspect mostly RP and Gurkha left in stock at this point. So sad.
