Today is Wednesday, Aug. 26, the 239th day of 2020. There are 127 days left in the year.


Today’s Highlight in History:
On August 26, 1968, the Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago; the four-day event that resulted in the nomination of Hubert H. Humphrey for president was marked by a bloody police crackdown on antiwar protesters in the streets.

On this date:
In 55 B.C., Roman forces under Julius Caesar invaded Britain, with only limited success.
In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women’s right to vote, was certified in effect by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.
In 1944, French Gen. Charles de Gaulle braved the threat of German snipers as he led a victory march in Paris, which had just been liberated by the Allies from Nazi occupation.

In 1957, the Soviet Union announced it had successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.
In 1958, Alaskans went to the polls to overwhelmingly vote in favor of statehood.
In 1961, the original Hockey Hall of Fame was opened in Toronto.
In 1972, the summer Olympics games opened in Munich, West Germany.

In 1974, Charles Lindbergh [–] the first man to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic [–] died at his home in Hawaii at age 72.
In 1985, 13-year-old AIDS patient Ryan White began “attending” classes at Western Middle School in Kokomo, Indiana, via a telephone hook-up at his home — school officials had barred Ryan from attending classes in person.
In 2004, the nation’s supply of vaccine for the impending flu season took a big hit when Chiron Corp. announced it had found tainted doses in its factory, and would hold up shipment of about 50 million shots.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey spun into Texas, unloading extraordinary amounts of rain. (The hurricane killed nearly 70 people, damaged more than 300,000 structures and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage.) Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat UFC fighter Conor McGregor in a boxing match in Las Vegas that was stopped by the referee in the 10th round; it was the last fight of Mayweather’s career and earned him an estimated $200 million.
In 2018, a gunman opened fire on fellow gamers at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., killing two men and wounding 10 others before taking his own life. Playwright Neil Simon, whose comedies included “The Odd Couple” and “Barefoot in the Park,” died at the age of 91.

Ten years ago: The government of Chile released a video of the 33 miners trapped deep in a copper mine; the men appeared slim but healthy as they sang the national anthem and yelled, “Long live Chile, and long live the miners!”


Five years ago: Alison Parker, a reporter for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, Virginia, and her cameraman, Adam Ward, were shot to death during a live broadcast by a disgruntled former station employee who fatally shot himself while being pursued by police.


One year ago: As the Group of Seven summit wrapped up in France, President Donald Trump pitched his own Doral golf resort in Florida as an ideal site for the next G-7 summit; the idea was scrapped after bipartisan concern that Trump would violate a clause in the Constitution prohibiting presidents from accepting gifts or payments from governments. Charges including aggravated manslaughter were filed against four employees of a Florida nursing home where 12 people died in sweltering heat after a hurricane cut power. An Oklahoma judge found that Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries had helped fuel the state’s opioid crisis; the judge ordered the consumer products giant to pay $572 million. (The award was later reduced to $465 million after the judge acknowledged a miscalculation; the case is on appeal.)

Yeah, me too.  His mom was a sweetheart.  So is his dad.  So this is hard.

Y'all don't really know my friends, so I always give them descriptive sobriquets here. "MacGuyver's" real name is Dan.  I call him MacGuyver (as do most of our mutual friends) because he's one of those guys that can fix anything, and always does it elegantly, even when he's improvising.  His wife is battling cancer, and short of a miracle she'll be gone herself in a couple of years or less.  So Dan's fighting on several fronts right now.  Not fun.

one time when I gave a lady a sandwich, chips, and a drink she opened up her backpack and had enough in there to last me weeks. she was probably doing the 'shopping' for those who couldn't get out of the jungle.

Still lookin' good with that La Barba sampler Tony!
It's early yet so I won't get my hopes up. But damn you... Now I am watching a bunch of things on there. There is a reason we call cigarbid.com the devil.

good morning 3Daves, a Tony, and a RazMan.
paid a bunch of bills, got an Attitude Adjustment, did my shopping, even bought some sandwiches, chips, and a few cold drinks for the panhandler on the corner. don't think too kindly of me though, by the time I got done shopping he was gone and nowhere in sight. good thing I bought him stuff I like. (this has happened in the past before)
I had to drive my friend MacGuyver to the airport at 3:30 this morning, which is seriously messing with my schedule today.  He's headed to Minnesota for his mom's funeral.
Sorry to hear about MacGuyver's mom.
Yeah, me too.  His mom was a sweetheart.  So is his dad.  So this is hard.

Y'all don't really know my friends, so I always give them descriptive sobriquets here. "MacGuyver's" real name is Dan.  I call him MacGuyver (as do most of our mutual friends) because he's one of those guys that can fix anything, and always does it elegantly, even when he's improvising.  His wife is battling cancer, and short of a miracle she'll be gone herself in a couple of years or less.  So Dan's fighting on several fronts right now.  Not fun.
Oof. 2020 is hitting him like a ton of bricks.
Good to have friends like you.
yeah. how do I get to have a friend like you? 👊
You already do, Deano.

Morning StartEmUpDave, HumpedDryAndHardTony and HennyOy.
i got to see Henny Youngman on Miami Beach back in 1970’s . Played in a movie theater for about $5 a seat and he killed, it was great, I still remember it well. Take my wife......Please!
I once got asked on short notice to play a solo set in the basement dive venue that used to exist in the University of Arizona student union.  So I did a 45 minute set of acoustic blues.  Turns out I was opening for Dizzy Gillespie.  I about shit myself when I found out.
I was recently introducing my son to Dizzy's music after a discussion about jazz. Thank goodness for Youtube. He got a kick out of the puffed out cheeks and neck.

Morning Raz and Dean with Bean nowhere to be seen... ???
the Beaner may be packing his cigars and relocating, or stuck in traffic.
Thanks, Laura!

;D

Ya never know, but I feel pretty good about that one.  Usually when they are offered in larger lots, the final price stays fairly moderate.  There is another lot of 10 available as well (as backup).

With knowledge of prices and patience, there are still deals to be had.

Sometimes the flesh and blood kind are a little more helpful in the immediate term.

I completely agree. But then I must contend with the addiction to the thrill of the chase. I remember spending hundreds of dollars a week when I first discovered the site.

Indeed, there is quite the temptation once you open the site...

I'm sure I'll get around to trying them, but I'm too conflicted with how I dislike Fonseca and loving many of My Father's offerings.  I'm sure they've improved it, but how much?  Pricy enough to find out.
