Ten years ago: In his Saturday radio address, President George W. Bush said while "formidable challenges" remained in Iraq, the United States would start shifting more troops into support roles in addition to troop withdrawals announced earlier. Several thousand protesters marched from the White House to the Capitol to demand an end to the Iraq war. Sarah Thomas became the first female official to work a game in the Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly I-A, serving as the line judge in the Jacksonville State-Memphis game (which Memphis won, 35-14). Actress-comedian Brett Somers died in Westport, Connecticut, at age 83.

Five years ago: Four days after the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula called for more attacks on U.S. embassies. The State Department ordered non-essential government personnel and family members to leave its embassies in Sudan and Tunisia and warned U.S. citizens against traveling to the two countries. The National Hockey League locked out its players at 11:59 p.m. EDT; it was the league's fourth shutdown in a decade and one that would cost the league nearly half its season.

One year ago: A report issued by the Republican-led House intelligence committee condemned Edward Snowden, saying the National Security Agency leaker was not a whistleblower and that the vast majority of the documents he stole were defense secrets that had nothing to do with privacy; Snowden's attorney blasted the report, saying it was an attempt to discredit a "genuine American hero." Arizona's first female governor, Democrat Rose Mofford, died in Phoenix at age 94.

Also one year ago today, Mayor Barry moved on to the big CigarFest in the sky.

Wow, that was a year ago already? I actually have a browser tab opened to his obituary. Guess it's been open for a year. Sheesh. Good morning, LTG.

Doesn't your computer ever restart? Sheesh!

He's got some 'splainin' to do!

Don't worry, I'm not staying, just wanted to drop the Barry knowledge. Can't believe it's been a year already.

Florida men caught with stolen power pole strapped to SUV


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff’s officials in Jacksonville say two men are accused of trying to steal a $2,500 utility pole days after Hurricane Irma caused severe flooding there.

Jacksonville sheriff’s officials say 42-year-old Blake Lee Waller and 46-year-old Victor Walter Apeler were arrested on grand theft charges Wednesday after someone reported seeing them load the pole onto a sports utility vehicle.

A police report says an officer noticed a light pole missing from an area on top of a bridge and then spotted a vehicle driving with the pole on top.

He stopped the vehicle and arrested the men.

DIL is a very thoughtful person, she went over to the new permanent condo yesterday and put some flowers on the door and a SC theme welcome mat at the front door for the Warden when we arrive.

But does it have a Tiger Paw on it?

I think it has a big Chicken on it

Do you mean like this?

Wasn't perfect, but not a bad 22nd birthday for Deshaun Watson last night, starting for Houston.

Yeah, he beat the worst team in the NFL! WooHoo!

Now wait now, give the Browns and Jets some credit....
