Today’s Highlight in History:
On Nov. 11, 1972, the U.S. Army turned over its base at Long Binh to the South Vietnamese, symbolizing the end of direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War.
On this date:
In 1620, 41 Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower, anchored off Massachusetts, signed a compact calling for a “body politick.”
In 1831, former slave Nat Turner, who’d led a violent insurrection, was executed in Jerusalem, Virginia.
In 1918, fighting in World War I ended as the Allies and Germany signed an armistice in the Forest of Compiegne (kohm-PYEHN’-yeh).
In 1921, the remains of an unidentified American service member were interred in a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in a ceremony presided over by President Warren G. Harding.
In 1929, the Ambassador Bridge spanning the Detroit River between Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, was dedicated.
In 1942, during World War II, Germany completed its occupation of France.
In 1960, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem survived a coup attempt by army rebels. (However, he was overthrown and killed in 1963.)
In 1966, Gemini 12 blasted off on a four-day mission with astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. aboard; it was the tenth and final flight of NASA’s Gemini program.
In 1990, Stormie Jones, the world’s first heart-liver transplant recipient, died at a Pittsburgh hospital at age 13.
In 1992, the Church of England voted to ordain women as priests.
In 1998, President Clinton ordered warships, planes and troops to the Persian Gulf as he laid out his case for a possible attack on Iraq. Iraq, meanwhile, showed no sign of backing down from its refusal to deal with U.N. weapons inspectors.
In 2004, Palestinians at home and abroad wept, waved flags and burned tires in an eruption of grief at news of the death of Yasser Arafat in Paris at age 75.

Five years ago: Leaders of Asia-Pacific economies meeting in China agreed to begin work toward possible adoption of a Chinese-backed free-trade pact, giving Beijing a victory in its push for a bigger role in managing global commerce. Henry “Big Bank Hank” Jackson, 57, a member of the pioneering hip-hop group The Sugarhill Gang, died in Englewood, New Jersey. Carol Ann Susi, 62, a character actress best known as the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory,” died in Los Angeles.
One year ago: World leaders including President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin solemnly marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I at a ceremony in Paris.

Tip: Eighteen Things Every Cigar Smoker Should Do In Their Lifetime
[We’ve updated an article from a few years ago that was titled: “Sixteen Things Every Cigar Smoker Should Do In Their Lifetime.”]
Cigar smokers can live a long time. Just ask Richard Overton, a WWII veteran who lived to be 112 and smoked dozens of cigars a day. That gives you plenty of time to do lots of amazing things.
To help out, we brainstormed a list of eighteen cigar-related activities every cigar smoker should accomplish in their lifetime:
1. Smoke a cigar in a rental car. (There may be a cleaning fee involved.)
2. Make your own cigar blend, then smoke it. (Be prepared for it not to be very good, but that isn’t the point.)
3. Smoke a pre-embargo Cuban. (No, cigars made with a portion of pre-embargo Cuban tobacco don’t count.)
4. Visit a cigar factory abroad. (And a tobacco field while you are there.)
5. Smoke two cigars at once. (It’s actually a good way to develop your palate.)
6. Visit Cuba. (It’s easier than you think.)
7. Give someone their first cigar. (Maybe on their 18th birthday?)
8. Enjoy a cigar and drink at Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. (Try the Don Carlos Caipirinha.)
9. Buy the cigar you’ve always wanted to smoke, no matter the price. (Spend $30, $50, $100, or more.)
10. Light up a cigar someplace you shouldn’t. (Act shocked when you are told you can’t enjoy your cigar there.)
11. Pair Pappy Van Winkle bourbon with your favorite cigar. (Bourbon that costs $100 an ounce must be amazing, right?)
12. Smoke a cigar on the beach. Either early morning after an AM surf or camping out on the beach late at night, it’s the perfect place.
13. Buy a friend “It’s a boy/girl” cigars to celebrate a birth. (Remind the new dad, he should give them out, not smoke them all.)
14. Visit Calle Ocho in Little Havana. (It’s kinda like Cuba, but still in America.)
15. Wake up early to read the newspaper with a cigar and coffee. (Your local paper, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, National Enquirer… it doesn’t matter.)
16. Smoke cigars with friends around a bonfire you made. (Bonus points if you chopped the wood for the bonfire yourself.)
17. Light up a celebratory cigar when your favorite team wins the championship. (Hopefully you aren’t a Browns fan.)
18. Smoke with your dad or son. There’s nothing quite like generational bonding over a premium cigar.

Checked off 17 myself (despite being a Browns fan), though, that's definitely one I was starting to think I'd never do.I checked off 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18.Courtesy of StogyGuys. (I'm able to check off 8 of them)1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 16 for me.
Tip: Eighteen Things Every Cigar Smoker Should Do In Their Lifetime
[We’ve updated an article from a few years ago that was titled: “Sixteen Things Every Cigar Smoker Should Do In Their Lifetime.”]
Cigar smokers can live a long time. Just ask Richard Overton, a WWII veteran who lived to be 112 and smoked dozens of cigars a day. That gives you plenty of time to do lots of amazing things.
To help out, we brainstormed a list of eighteen cigar-related activities every cigar smoker should accomplish in their lifetime:
1. Smoke a cigar in a rental car. (There may be a cleaning fee involved.)
2. Make your own cigar blend, then smoke it. (Be prepared for it not to be very good, but that isn’t the point.)
3. Smoke a pre-embargo Cuban. (No, cigars made with a portion of pre-embargo Cuban tobacco don’t count.)
4. Visit a cigar factory abroad. (And a tobacco field while you are there.)
5. Smoke two cigars at once. (It’s actually a good way to develop your palate.)
6. Visit Cuba. (It’s easier than you think.)
7. Give someone their first cigar. (Maybe on their 18th birthday?)
8. Enjoy a cigar and drink at Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. (Try the Don Carlos Caipirinha.)
9. Buy the cigar you’ve always wanted to smoke, no matter the price. (Spend $30, $50, $100, or more.)
10. Light up a cigar someplace you shouldn’t. (Act shocked when you are told you can’t enjoy your cigar there.)
11. Pair Pappy Van Winkle bourbon with your favorite cigar. (Bourbon that costs $100 an ounce must be amazing, right?)
12. Smoke a cigar on the beach. Either early morning after an AM surf or camping out on the beach late at night, it’s the perfect place.
13. Buy a friend “It’s a boy/girl” cigars to celebrate a birth. (Remind the new dad, he should give them out, not smoke them all.)
14. Visit Calle Ocho in Little Havana. (It’s kinda like Cuba, but still in America.)
15. Wake up early to read the newspaper with a cigar and coffee. (Your local paper, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, National Enquirer… it doesn’t matter.)
16. Smoke cigars with friends around a bonfire you made. (Bonus points if you chopped the wood for the bonfire yourself.)
17. Light up a celebratory cigar when your favorite team wins the championship. (Hopefully you aren’t a Browns fan.)
18. Smoke with your dad or son. There’s nothing quite like generational bonding over a premium cigar.

Snow snow go away. Winter wonderland here. Had a dead battery in the Wife's car. Ugh!!!Front came through here starting about noon and dropped temps from 68 to 37 deg and still falling. Supposed to be 25 deg tonight and still light rain. I guess mid November is too early for the school closing alarms to ring, but it may be interesting in the AM.

We're expecting rain and snow tomorrow. I believe they like to refer to it as a wintry mix.Snow snow go away. Winter wonderland here. Had a dead battery in the Wife's car.
