Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 30, 1953, the first Chevrolet Corvette, with its innovative fiberglass body, was built at a General Motors assembly facility in Flint, Michigan.
On this date:
In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin (blahn-DAN’) walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched.
In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr. Samuel Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. (Four defendants, including Surratt, were executed; Mudd was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.)
In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees.
In 1918, labor activist and socialist Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for a speech he’d made two weeks earlier denouncing U.S. involvement in World War I. (Debs was sentenced to prison and disenfranchised for life.)
In 1936, the Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York.
In 1949, “The Missouri Waltz” became the official state song of Missouri.
In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church.
In 1966, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in Washington, D.C.
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced he had decided against production of the Rockwell B-1 bomber, saying it was too costly. (However, the B-1 was later revived by President Ronald Reagan.)
In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.
In 1993, actor George “Spanky” McFarland of “Our Gang” and “Little Rascals” fame died in Grapevine, Texas, at age 64.
In 1997, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time over Government House in Hong Kong as Britain prepared to hand the colony back to China at midnight after ruling it for 156 years.

Five years ago: Nineteen elite firefighters known as members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were killed battling a wildfire northwest of Phoenix after a change in wind direction pushed the flames back toward their position. Addressing students at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, President Barack Obama declared that the future of the young and growing continent still rested in Nelson Mandela’s vision for equality and opportunity. Inbee Park won the U.S. Women’s Open in Southampton, New York, for her third straight major of the year.
One year ago: President Donald Trump and South Korea’s new leader, Moon Jae-in, concluding two days of talks at the White House, showed joint resolve on North Korea despite their divergent philosophies for addressing the nuclear threat.

I hope they find these bastards and hang them by their balls:I hope they do catch them and sure enough as low as it goes. I have met Mr Overton and what a cool guy he is!
https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/thieves-drain-richard-overton-s-personal-bank-account/1273914766
On the bright side he has literally thousands of friends to help him and the funds will likely be recovered by the bank for him. The exact same thing happened to an account of my fathers after he died but before the estate was completed. They did the same thing buying Treasury Bonds with an electronic transfer. Very likely ours was an inside assisted job. Now let me tell you it was no easy task getting the shithead bank to do anything and it took dozens of letters, 2 attorneys, the FDIC, Bank Examiners, Outside Bank Auditors and about 8 months to get it but we got all of the funds plus interest back.
I am sure There are plenty of attorneys in Austin that will help Mr Overton.

Took a run out to pick up pyrotechnic supplies....and happened by the CI Superstore. Had free beer and events for Cigars for Vets, so good timing.+1
can't turn down free beer or not donate sticks to vets.
I need to find one for my kitten.
ROTFLMAO.
