Today is Friday, Dec. 27, the 361st day of 2019. There are four days left in the year.


Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 27, 2001, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld announced that Taliban and al-Qaida prisoners would be held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

On this date:
In 1822, scientist Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France.
In 1831, naturalist Charles Darwin set out on a round-the-world voyage aboard the HMS Beagle.
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 1945, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were formally established.
In 1949, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands signed an act recognizing Indonesia’s sovereignty after more than three centuries of Dutch rule.

In 1958, American physicist James Van Allen reported the discovery of a second radiation belt around Earth, in addition to one found earlier in the year.
In 1968, Apollo 8 and its three astronauts made a safe, nighttime splashdown in the Pacific.
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 1994, four Roman Catholic priests [–] three French and a Belgian [–] were shot to death in their rectory in Algiers, a day after French commandos killed four radicals who’d hijacked an Air France jet from Algiers to Marseille.

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 1 million Palestinian residents and one-third of its land.
In 2002, A defiant North Korea ordered U.N. nuclear inspectors to leave the country and said it would restart a laboratory capable of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons; the U.N. nuclear watchdog said its inspectors were “staying put” for the time being.

Ten years ago: Iranian security forces fired on Tehran protesters, killing at least eight and launching a new wave of arrests.

Five years ago: North Korea blamed its recent internet outage on the United States and hurled racially charged insults at President Barack Obama over the hacking row involving the movie “The Interview.” Mehmet Ali Agca (MEH’-met AH’-lee AH’-juh), the Turkish gunman who shot and wounded John Paul II in 1981, laid white flowers on the saint’s tomb in St. Peter’s Basilica.

One year ago: LeBron James was selected as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the third time, after reaching the NBA Finals for the eighth consecutive year. Richard Overton, the nation’s oldest living world War II veteran who was also believed to be the oldest living man in the U.S., died in Texas at the age of 112. President Donald Trump tweeted that the shooting death of a California police officer, allegedly by a man who was in the country illegally, showed the need for a border crackdown.

I think they removed the last of them in the parks two years ago.  Used to be two Sosa lounges at Downtown Disney/Disney Springs...now the one.  All the hotels have smoking areas with benches if you look a little.  Morning and evening cigars were always fine with me.

Jacob G. Lowe
A 22-year-old Summerfield man was killed early Thursday morning when he was ejected from his pickup truck and hit by three other vehicles.

Jacob G. Lowe had been traveling southbound on U.S. Hwy. 441 near SE 132nd Lane in Summerfield at about 5:15 a.m. when his 2006 Ford F-150 pickup veered into the median and overturned. Lowe, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from his vehicle and came to rest in the inside northbound lane of U.S. Hwy. 441, a Florida Highway Patrol report states.

Lowe was then struck by a 2013 Mack truck driven by 48-year-old Tina Collelo, of Homosassa; a 2014 Mack truck driven by 41-year-old Craig Cady, of Dunnellon; and a 2012 Mazda3 passenger car driven by 36-year-old Laketa Brown, of Leesburg, the report says.

Lowe was transported to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. No charges have been filed and it hasn’t been determined if alcohol played a factor in the incident, the report says.
