Today is Wednesday, May 18, the 138th day of 2022.
There are 227 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded, leaving 57 people dead or missing.
On this date:
In 1652, Rhode Island became the first American colony to pass a law abolishing African slavery; however, the law was apparently never enforced.
In 1863, the Siege of Vicksburg began during the Civil War, ending July 4 with a Union victory.
In 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Plessy v. Ferguson, endorsed “separate but equal” racial segregation, a concept renounced 58 years later by Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.
In 1910, Halley’s Comet passed by earth, brushing it with its tail.
In 1927, in America’s deadliest school attack, part of a schoolhouse in Bath Township, Michigan, was blown up with explosives planted by local farmer Andrew Kehoe, who then set off a bomb in his truck; the attacks killed 38 children and six adults, including Kehoe, who’d earlier killed his wife. (Authorities said Kehoe, who suffered financial difficulties, was seeking revenge for losing a township clerk election.)
In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Tennessee Valley Authority.
In 1934, Congress approved, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed, the so-called “Lindbergh Act,” providing for the death penalty in cases of interstate kidnapping.
In 1973, Harvard law professor Archibald Cox was appointed Watergate special prosecutor by U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson.
In 1981, the New York Native, a gay newspaper, carried a story concerning rumors of “an exotic new disease” among homosexuals; it was the first published report about what came to be known as AIDS.
In 1998, the U.S. government filed an antitrust case against Microsoft, saying the powerful software company had a “choke hold” on competitors that was denying consumers important choices about how they bought and used computers. (The Justice Department and Microsoft reached a settlement in 2001.)
In 2015, President Barack Obama ended long-running federal transfers of some combat-style gear to local law enforcement in an attempt to ease tensions between police and minority communities, saying equipment made for the battlefield should not be a tool of American criminal justice.
In 2020, President Donald Trump said he’d been taking a malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, and a zinc supplement to protect against the coronavirus despite warnings from his own government that the drug should be administered only in a hospital or research setting. Moderna announced that an experimental vaccine against the coronavirus showed encouraging results in early testing.

Five years ago: President Donald Trump denounced the appointment of a special counsel to investigate his campaign’s potential ties with Russia, repeatedly calling it an unprecedented “witch hunt” that “hurts our country terribly.” Roger Ailes, who created and ruled Fox News Channel for two decades before being ousted for alleged sexual harassment, died in Palm Beach, Florida, at age 77.
One year ago: Palestinians across Israel and the occupied territories went on strike in a rare collective protest of Israel’s policies; the action came as Israeli missiles toppled a six-story building in Gaza and militants in the Hamas-ruled territory fired dozens of rockets that killed two people. The New York attorney general’s office said it was conducting a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s business empire, expanding what had previously been a civil probe. Actor and writer Charles Grodin, whose films included “Midnight Run” and “The Heartbreak Kid,” died in Connecticut of bone marrow cancer at 86.

FINALLY:So many great things in this article...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/13/calling-a-man-bald-is-sexual-harassment-employment-tribunal-rules
For example, did you know:
"Commenting on a man’s baldness in the workplace is equivalent to remarking on the size of a woman’s breasts, the finding suggests."
And a great company to work for:
"Tony Finn – who is in line for compensation – had worked for the West Yorkshire-based British Bung Company for almost 24 years when he was fired in May last year."
"
Finn alleged that during a shopfloor row in July 2019, King had referred to him as a “bald cunt”." Was offended by being called bald, not a cunt... ::)

I'll be happy to bring you up to speed tomorrow.That'll do.The only way I can see you getting that in 2 is by having 4 correct letters in your first guess. I thought for sure I knew what word you picked until I looked at your blocks again and now you have me thoroughly confounded. It took me 5.

He took a guess, hoping at least to get more correct letters, and he happened to get the correct word.
Assuming we're all solving the same puzzle, getting the first letter correct narrows the scope for his second guess pretty significantly. He'd go looking for a second guess with vowels he had not yet used and consonants that most frequently appear in five-letter words. He chose a word that happened to be exactly correct.

At the orthodontist for another braces tightening.I miss those days. Meaning when I had braces myself. So far, none of my kids have required them.

Lucky you. While cheaper than I thought they'd be, having to drive her over here every 6 weeks is already getting old.At the orthodontist for another braces tightening.I miss those days. Meaning when I had braces myself. So far, none of my kids have required them.

But June weddings are popular, and historically there is a slightly lower incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancy among Protestant Christian families. Not enough lower to be terribly significant, but somewhat. Christian belief tends to run in families. So, you have a June wedding, and three or so months later you get conception, and a May birth. Kid grows up in church surrounded by music, probably starts singing as a kid in church, and goes on to become an artist. That's my experience, sans the June wedding. I was conceived after Memorial day, there was a rushed wedding in November, and I was born in late May. But otherwise, the story's the same.But not by the "Real Christians" in the States. They're not real big on Holy Days, Saints and such.Actually, yes. The feast of the Assumption is celebrated in many religious countries on August 15th.Is there a Christian holiday their parents would've been celebrating in mid-August? :DToday’s Birthdays:Coinkidink of the day:
