There's a DE Undercrown event at a B&M about a half hour away from me next week. Might have to drop in and check it out.

Good morning, fellas. Been a long night in this household. The baby (the dog) was sick and throwing up. She's always eating all sorts of shit on our walks and I'm guessing one of those things didn't agree with her. We've had her for exactly two months and this is the second time this has happened. Funny thing is that you don't even notice her picking stuff up until you see her chewing and try to pull it out of her mouth. Fun times.

I'm looking at leap day plans with Brad and Charlie. I may take a half day at work and meet up with them for happy hour.

Must be a popular way to enjoy the extra day, cause the DE event is the same day.

Title: Re: 2/23/2024

Today is Friday, Feb. 23, the 54th day of 2024.
There are 312 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Feb. 23, 2007, a Mississippi grand jury refused to bring any new charges in the 1955 slaying of Emmett Till, the Black teenager who was beaten and shot after being accused of whistling at a white woman, declining to indict the woman, Carolyn Bryant Donham, for manslaughter



On this date:

In 1685, composer George Frideric Handel was born in present-day Germany.

In 1822, Boston was granted a charter to incorporate as a city.

In 1836, the siege of the Alamo began in San Antonio, Texas.

In 1861, President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrived secretly in Washington to take office, following word of a possible assassination plot in Baltimore.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an agreement with Cuba to lease the area around Guantanamo Bay to the United States.

In 1942, the first shelling of the U.S. mainland during World War II occurred as a Japanese submarine fired on an oil refinery near Santa Barbara, California, causing little damage.

In 1945, during World War II, U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima captured Mount Suribachi, where they raised two American flags (the second flag-raising was captured in the iconic Associated Press photograph.)

In 1954, the first mass inoculation of schoolchildren against polio using the Salk vaccine began in Pittsburgh as some 5,000 students were vaccinated.

In 1998, 42 people were killed, some 2,600 homes and businesses damaged or destroyed, by tornadoes in central Florida.


In 2011, in a major policy reversal, the Obama administration said it would no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law banning recognition of same-sex marriage.

In 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on a residential Georgia street; a white father and son had armed themselves and pursued him after seeing him running through their neighborhood. (Greg and Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan were convicted of murder, aggravated assault and other charges and were sentenced to life in prison.)

In 2021, golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured when his SUV crashed into a median and rolled over several times on a steep road in suburban Los Angeles.

In 2023, a federal judge handed singer R. Kelly a 20-year prison sentence for his convictions of child pornography and the enticement of minors for sex but said he would serve nearly all of the sentence simultaneously with a 30-year sentence imposed a year earlier on racketeering charges.

How are Lost and Found prices increasing?  They were already made some time ago, and I doubt they earned interest on the back shelf.  Newer ones haven't been "found" yet, so how do you increase the price on that?  Oh Caldwell...
