Today is Saturday, April 6, the 97th day of 2024.
There are 269 days left in the year.


Today's Highlight in History:

On April 6, 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece.


On this date:

In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day.

In 1864, Louisiana opened a convention in New Orleans to draft a new state constitution, one that called for the abolition of slavery.

In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole.

In 1917, the United States entered World War I as the House joined the Senate in approving a declaration of war against Germany that was then signed by President Woodrow Wilson.

In 1943, "Le Petit Prince" (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was first published by Reynal & Hitchcock of New York.

In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day.

In 1954, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., responding to CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow's broadside against him on "See It Now," said in remarks filmed for the program that Murrow had, in the past, "engaged in propaganda for Communist causes."

In 1968, 41 people were killed by two consecutive natural gas explosions at a sporting goods store in downtown Richmond, Indiana.

In 1974, Swedish pop group ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest held in Brighton, England, with a performance of the song "Waterloo."

In 2008, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking at a private fundraiser in San Francisco, spoke of voters in Pennsylvania's Rust Belt communities who "cling to guns or religion" because of bitterness about their economic lot; Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton seized on the comment, calling it "elitist."

In 2012, five Black people were shot, three fatally, in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Jake England and Alvin Watts, who admitted targeting the victims because of race, pleaded guilty to murder, and were sentenced to life in prison without parole.

In 2014, legendary Hollywood actor Mickey Rooney, 93, died in North Hollywood.

In 2017, comedian Don Rickles, known for his biting insults, died in Beverly Hills, California at age 90.

In 2020, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was transferred to the intensive care unit of a London hospital where he was being treated for COVID-19, after his condition deteriorated.

In 2021, Major League Baseball announced that the All-Star Game would be played at Coors Field in Denver; the game had been pulled from Atlanta because of objections to changes in Georgia's voting laws.

In 2022, the mayor of the besieged Ukrainian port city of Mariupol said more than 5,000 civilians had been killed during the invasion by Russian troops. In response, the U.S. and its Western allies moved to impose new sanctions against the Kremlin over what they branded war crimes.

Got my Saturday chore done, installing a new ceiling fan in the oldest's room. I'm pooped. Have to pick her up in a bit from her friend's house, so maybe I'm not quite done with chores yet.

I've done that before. It should be easier but it isn't. Especially if you have old wiring, like I do. I bought the place from an electrician so most of the house was updated but there is still some of the old wiring too and the house is 92 years old.

Mine would've been easier if I hadn't let one of the wires hang out of the box by accident, so when I turned it on the first time, it was hitting the blades inside the housing and making a racket. Had to take it back apart to fix it, then reassemble. Annoying, but avoidable.

LOL. Most of my neighbors use a landscaper and I had to deal with the ruckus of the mowers and blowers earlier in the week.

But for the first time installing one, since the ones we had came with the house, I won't complain too much. Took just about how long the instructions said it would.

Mine would have sat in the basement for about 6 months before I even started the project. Did it say anything about that in the instructions?

Lol. Mine sat for about 2 weeks, but that was mostly difficulty in finding a time to do it when it wouldn't inconvenience the wife getting ready for work, since that breaker also controls the main light in the bathroom.

There was also a TON of merch at Niagara Falls. I read somewhere they're expecting up to a million people in the area for it.
