We had a beautiful spring day yesterday in the mid-70s and today we'll get a taste of summer. On varying weather reports I heard it could get closer to 90°. Then tomorrow we're back to spring. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Speaking of positivity, I find that most people suck. What say you?

To give you context, I just walked the dog and saw a lot of stupid people, doing stupid things.

One such example is a guy almost mowing down a bunch of kids and the crossing guard.

Most people do suck, you'll get no argument from me. People on the roads, people in stores, they're all a bunch of dumbasses.

I wouldn't say most people do, but the ones that do stand out more for their suckiness.  You just don't notice those around that are not sucking.

Today is Monday, April 29, the 120th day of 2023.
There are 246 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On April 29, 1429, Joan of Arc entered the besieged city of Orleans to lead a French victory over the English.


On this date:

In 1916, the Easter Rising in Dublin collapsed as Irish nationalists surrendered to British authorities.

In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the Dachau (DAH’-khow) concentration camp. Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun inside his “Fuhrerbunker” and designated Adm. Karl Doenitz (DUHR’-nihtz) president.

In 1946, 28 former Japanese officials went on trial in Tokyo as war criminals; seven ended up being sentenced to death.

In 1957, the SM-1, the first military nuclear power plant, was dedicated at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

In 1967, Aretha Franklin’s cover of Otis Redding’s “Respect” was released as a single by Atlantic Records.

In 1991, a cyclone began striking the South Asian country of Bangladesh; it ended up killing more than 138,000 people, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In 1992, a jury in Simi Valley, California, acquitted four Los Angeles police officers of almost all state charges in the videotaped beating of motorist Rodney King; the verdicts were followed by rioting in Los Angeles resulting in 55 deaths.

In 1997, a worldwide treaty to ban chemical weapons went into effect.

In 2008, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama denounced his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for what he termed “divisive and destructive” remarks on race.

In 2010, the U.S. Navy officially ended a ban on women serving on submarines, saying the first women would be reporting for duty by 2012.

In 2011, Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton were married in an opulent ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey.

In 2013, opening statements took place in Los Angeles in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, against concert giant AEG Live, claiming it had failed to properly investigate a doctor who cared for Jackson and was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter in his 2009 death. (The jury determined in October 2013 that AEG Live was not liable.)

In 2018, tennis great Boris Becker was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding assets after he was declared bankrupt.

In 2020, scientists announced the first effective treatment against the coronavirus, the experimental antiviral medication remdesivir, which they said could speed the recovery of COVID-19 patients.

In 2021, Brazil became the second country to officially top 400,000 COVID-19 deaths.

In 2023, hundreds of Americans fleeing two weeks of deadly fighting in Sudan reached the east African nation’s port in the first U.S.-run evacuation, completing a dangerous land journey under escort of armed drones.

I'll always associate this with my first CF, because when I arrived early in the morning for golf, they had it on the TV in the clubhouse.

My boys had a baseball game against a neighboring town. They have lots of friends on that team and had something to prove. We almost completely blew an 8-1 lead. Game ended 8-7. Win's a win.
