Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

We've seen worse on a Tuesday. I've never had these, but even a short filler version of the regular Brick House has to at least be decent, right?

Short filler in a little cigar is not so bad.....and those are some excellent tobacco scraps.

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 5, the 278th day of 2021.
There are 87 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:


On Oct. 5, 1989, a jury in Charlotte, North Carolina, convicted former P-T-L evangelist Jim Bakker (BAY’-kur) of using his television show to defraud followers. (Although initially sentenced to 45 years in prison, Bakker was freed in December 1994 after serving 4 1/2 years.)

On this date:

In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan.

In 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis.

In 1953, Earl Warren was sworn in as the 14th chief justice of the United States, succeeding Fred M. Vinson.

In 1955, a stage adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett opened at the Cort Theatre in New York.

In 1958, racially-desegregated Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, was mostly leveled by an early morning bombing.

In 1969, the British TV comedy program “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” made its debut on BBC 1.


In 1983, Solidarity founder Lech Walesa (lek vah-WEN’-sah) was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 2001, tabloid photo editor Robert Stevens died from inhaled anthrax, the first of a series of anthrax cases in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington.

In 2005, defying the White House, senators voted 90-9 to approve an amendment sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that would prohibit the use of “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” against anyone in U.S. government custody. (A reluctant President George W. Bush later signed off on the amendment.)

In 2015, the United States, Japan and 10 other nations in Asia and the Americas reached agreement on the landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

In 2017, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation extending protections for immigrants living in the United States illegally; police in California would be barred from asking people about their immigration status or taking part in federal immigration enforcement activities.

In 2018, a jury in Chicago convicted white police officer Jason Van Dyke of second-degree murder in the 2014 shooting of Black teenager Laquan McDonald.

Ten years ago: Steve Jobs, 56, the Apple founder and former chief executive who’d invented and master-marketed ever sleeker gadgets that transformed everyday technology from the personal computer to the iPod and iPhone, died in Palo Alto, California. Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, 89, a civil rights activist who endured arrests, beatings and injuries from fire hoses while fighting for racial equality in the segregated South of the 1960s, died in Birmingham, Alabama.

Five years ago: Portugal’s former prime minister Antonio Guterres won the Security Council’s unanimous backing to become the next U.N. secretary-general, succeeding Ban Ki-moon.

One year ago: President Donald Trump staged a dramatic return to the White House after leaving the military hospital where he was receiving an unprecedented level of care for COVID-19; Trump immediately ignited a new controversy by declaring that despite his illness, the nation should not fear the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the coronavirus could spread more than 6 feet through the air, especially in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces, but that such spread was uncommon and that current social distancing guidelines still made sense. As the Supreme Court began its new term, a statement from conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito suggested that the court needed to revisit its decision to affirm the right to gay marriage.

So there I am, eating my lunch and watching some TV, when I hear a very loud sound from outside. Sounded odd, so I went to investigate. Turns out it was from a semi truck that somehow got lost and ended up on my very residential sized street. As it tried to round the corner next to the house behind me, he didn't think he could make it and tried to back up. And backed right into some lines hanging across the street he somehow didn't hit the first time past. The line goes to a pole in my backyard, then 90 degrees over to the back of my house. Ripped it, bracket and all, off my house, so now it's hanging a couple feet over my backyard. Same with the neighbor on the other side of the street. Looks like it's the internet line, and while the internet is still connected, had to call to get them to send someone out to put it back on the house. Oh, and the driver, who said he was going to find a place to park and come back to call someone, yeah, we're never gonna see him again.

If there was a parrot involved, that would've felt like a BD story.

Looks like it's the internet line, and while the internet is still connected, had to call to get them to send someone out to put it back on the house. Oh, and the driver, who said he was going to find a place to park and come back to call someone, yeah, we're never gonna see him again.

If there was a parrot involved, that would've felt like a BD story.
Didn't get his license plate?
And they were parakeets, not parrots.

So there I am, eating my lunch and watching some TV, when I hear a very loud sound from outside. Sounded odd, so I went to investigate. Turns out it was from a semi truck that somehow got lost and ended up on my very residential sized street. As it tried to round the corner next to the house behind me, he didn't think he could make it and tried to back up. And backed right into some lines hanging across the street he somehow didn't hit the first time past. The line goes to a pole in my backyard, then 90 degrees over to the back of my house. Ripped it, bracket and all, off my house, so now it's hanging a couple feet over my backyard. Same with the neighbor on the other side of the street. Looks like it's the internet line, and while the internet is still connected, had to call to get them to send someone out to put it back on the house.

Speaking of BD, I wonder what costume he bought for his wife this year?

No, I didn't talk to him, and by time I got out there, he was leaving.

There's a scene in Search for Spock where he, Chekov, Uhura and Sulu are gathered around, toasting absent (read: dead) friends. It's especially weird now, since those 4 are the only original cast still alive.
