It's Tuesday again! 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!

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2018. There are 307 days left in the year.
Today's Highlights in History:
On Feb. 27, 1968, at the conclusion of a CBS News special report on the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite delivered a commentary in which he said that the conflict appeared "mired in stalemate." Former teen singing idol Frankie Lymon, known for such songs as "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" and "Goody Goody," was found dead of a drug overdose in New York at age 25.
On this date:
In 1700, English explorer William Dampier became the first known European visitor to the island of New Britain in the Southwest Pacific.
In 1801, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congress.
In 1911, inventor Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit by starting a Cadillac's motor with just the press of a switch, instead of hand-cranking.
In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote.
In 1933, Germany's parliament building, the Reichstag (RYKS'-tahg), was gutted by fire; Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire to justify suspending civil liberties.
In 1943, during World War II, Norwegian commandos launched a successful raid to sabotage a German-operated heavy water plant in Norway. An explosion inside a coal mine near Bearcreek, Montana, killed 74 miners and one rescue worker. The U.S. government, responding to a copper shortage, began circulating one-cent coins made of steel plated with zinc (the steel pennies proved unpopular, since they were easily mistaken for dimes).
In 1951, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president to two terms of office, was ratified.
In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, California. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)
In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until the following May.)
In 1986, the U.S. Senate approved telecasts of its debates on a trial basis.
In 1991, Operation Desert Storm came to a conclusion as President George H.W. Bush declared that "Kuwait is liberated, Iraq's army is defeated," and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight, Eastern time.
In 1993, actress Lillian Gish died in New York at age 99.

Ten years ago: William F. Buckley Jr., 82, the author and conservative commentator, was found dead at his home in Stamford, Connecticut. Civil rights leader John Lewis, a Democratic congressman from Atlanta, dropped his support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in favor of Barack Obama.
Five years ago: The Senate confirmed Jacob Lew to be Treasury secretary by a vote of 71-26. President Barack Obama unveiled a statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks at the U.S. Capitol. Van Cliburn, the internationally celebrated pianist whose triumph at a 1958 Moscow competition launched a spectacular career that made him the rare classical musician to enjoy rock star status, died in Fort Worth, Texas, at age 78.
One year ago: President Donald Trump proposed a huge $54 billion surge in U.S. military spending for new aircraft, ships and fighters in his first federal budget while slashing big chunks from domestic programs and foreign aid to make the government "do more with less." The Senate confirmed billionaire investor Wilbur Ross as commerce secretary by a vote of 72-27.

Don't like your cigars to have a "plumpin' stature", eh? Lol
Actually, there was a time that I thought these were decent cigars. It's no longer that time.
The Cuba Libre Ones weren't bad, but I never tried these. Don't believe I have any desire to, either.

Which makes me think that the deals haven't gotten worse, they just haven't "evolved" with us.

I think we should arm some students instead. That will give them the incentive to finish school.

I don't know why we need to bother arming teachers, President Bonespurs says he'll just run in there with his wits and gumption and take care of any situation. Just need to deploy him when necessary. Problem solved.

I would like to give them that benefit of the doubt as well, but I can't. There used to be a variety offered. Used to be some real surprise deals with different sticks, used to be appearances by newly released sticks and even preview sticks that we didn't know about. Unfortunately both Daily Deals and Jams HAVE gotten worse.

Thought for Today: "There is no inevitability in history except as men make it." - Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1882-1965).
Which is to say, "There is no inevitability in history." Except that history is to look at the present and the past. So the quip is nonsensical.

It stopped taking a breather and decided to have a temper tantrum. Yesterday has ceased to exist.

They have their ridership mapped out pretty well, and have reduced flights to optimize. While we may like stretching out over three seats, doesn't do much for their cash flow.

Tabi is pretty impressive. We used to work together and both got laid off around the same time. She's a computer programmer.
