Today is Monday, Dec. 11, the 345th day of 2017. There are 20 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On Dec. 11, 1917, British Gen. Edmund Allenby entered Jerusalem two days after his forces expelled the Ottoman Turks; in a show of respect, Allenby and his officers made their way into the Holy City on foot.

On this date:

In 1602, forces sent by the Duke of Savoy attempted to seize the walled city-state of Geneva by scaling the wall with ladders; however, the Genevans were able to repel the invaders.

In 1792, France's King Louis XVI went before the Convention to face charges of treason. (Louis was convicted, and executed the following month.)

In 1816, Indiana became the 19th state.

In 1936, Britain's King Edward VIII abdicated the throne so he could marry American divorcee Wallis Warfield Simpson; his brother, Prince Albert, became King George VI.

In 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States; the U.S. responded in kind.

In 1946, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was established.

In 1957, the movie "Peyton Place," based on the novel by Grace Metalious, had its world premiere in Camden, Maine, where most of it was filmed.

In 1961, a U.S. aircraft carrier carrying Army helicopters arrived in Saigon - the first direct American military support for South Vietnam's battle against Communist guerrillas.

In 1972, Apollo 17's lunar module landed on the moon with astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt aboard; during three extravehicular activities (EVAs), they became the last two men to date to step onto the lunar surface.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation creating a $1.6 billion environmental "superfund" to pay for cleaning up chemical spills and toxic waste dumps. "Magnum P.I.," starring Tom Selleck, premiered on CBS.

In 1997, more than 150 countries agreed at a global warming conference in Kyoto, Japan, to control the Earth's greenhouse gases.

In 2008, financier Bernie Madoff was arrested, accused of running a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. (Madoff is serving a 150-year federal prison sentence.)

Ten years ago: Two car bombs in Algeria, including one targeting the U.N. refugee agency's offices, killed 37 people, 17 of them U.N. employees; Al-Qaida's self-styled North African branch claimed responsibility. The Senate Intelligence Committee took closed-door testimony from CIA Director Michael Hayden on how videotapes of terror suspect interrogations were made, then destroyed.

Five years ago: The Michigan Legislature gave final approval to a pair of right-to-work bills that were quickly signed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder amid angry protests by union members and their supporters. A gunman opened fire in the Clackamas Town Center, a shopping mall in suburban Portland, Oregon, killing two people and wounding another before killing himself. Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue (TAG'-lee-uh-boo) overturned the suspensions of four New Orleans Saints players in the league's bounty investigation but said three of the players had engaged in conduct detrimental to the league.

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump called a recent CIA assessment of Russian hacking in the U.S. election "ridiculous" and said he wasn't interested in getting daily intelligence briefings, telling "Fox News Sunday": "I get it when I need it."

I was hoping that we would have gotten the Rose Bowl this year.  Would have been great to go there, Think I wouldn't have been able to resist that ticket.

Edit: Visited my BiL at his bartending gig recently and asked for a bourbon. That's what he poured me. I've had it twice since then.

Nope, already did that and the $400 hair dryer has one major fault - it takes forever to dry hair but of course that would not be important to you.

Edit:  New lifestyles pretty much avoid the hair dryer issue.

Back to vacuums, I've read that the Dyson is generally not as effective at cleaning as vacuums that cost half as much.  Very effective marketing, however.

We have had a regular mid-level Dyson for 5 years and the absolute best Vacum ever created and we previously had 2 Electrolux's at 3 times the price and a Kirby which was the worst. With two inside dogs and 2000 sq ft of carpet it never gave a problem and picks up everything.  A bit quieter too.  If you are referring to the regular corded Dysons that is total BS. 

The battery life and recharge of the cordless ones seems to be an issue based on reviews.  But they offer a Vacum head suitable for wood floors which would be really nice.

Good review for The T:

http://halfwheel.com/t-short-churchill/214949
Indeed.  And just $200 for a 20 ct box.  Gonna need a coupon code.
$50 off that for Atlantic VIP.
What are we waiting for, let's split a box!
Waiting for them to be back in stock.
Nuts!
LMAO, $50/box off but we don't have any ::). Why not make them $100 off with that offer?
The $200 boxes are also out of stock elsewhere.

Nah, they just have to hold out until Tony gets home. He's a pushover.
Yep.
But seriously...if those kids of yours grow up and leave the house and aren't better cooks than you, you will have failed them.

Hadda be said.
My kids are already better cooks than my wife, but that's not saying much. They have pretty sophisticated palates and will try just about anything. We often cook together on the weekends. My daughters helped me out a bunch on Thanksgiving. The boys would have too but they were both hacking up a lung and I preferred to keep them away from the kitchen.

Monday afternoon lull.... :-
Yeah...work takes its toll.
+1 Finally on my way home. Wondering what's waiting at home for dinner.
If you have to ask...
I have to ask.

Edit: But I got the answer really quickly... Nothing was waiting for me. So time to figure something out.
I can picture all of them just sitting at the table waiting.... :(

I'm counting on it! I'm a Dolphins fan tonight.
