Good Morning Klingons....!  I'm not sure if anyone is interested in country music or not..?  But I'm finding older music on CD's are getting harder and harder to find.  Also, old movies on standard DVD's.  I guess there's not much profit producing old CD's and DVD's when everything is now streaming music and Blu-Ray.  But I stumbled across a country CD on Amazon by Johnny Lee entitled, "Live at Billy Bob's."  Johnny Lee played allot of background music on various movies and tv programs.  Duke's of Hazzard is the only one I can think of at the moment.  Songsl like, "Look For Love, One in a Million, and Picking Up Strangers.  Anyway I bought this on a whim, and it is one great CD..!  Window's 10 will allow you to rip it into Mp3's.  So, I slapped it onto a Jump Drive, and put it into the car.  It really brings back the good'ol days of bar hopping, smoking, and honky tonk music.. :)  I just thought I'd mention it..

I bought a 5 pack of San Cristobal Monumento on Famous Cigar Monster.  Even on sale, I thought they were expensive.  I think it was $42 for a 5 pack. Oscuro, Habano, and Nicaraguan. I like small cigars and this is like a Churchill 7 1/4 by 49, so it will take me 2 days to smoke this thing...  I had one of the robustos that was included in a sampler.  It sat in my humidor for about 5 years, and I finally smoked it.  I like enough to buy the 5 pack, so at every 5 years, they should last me for 25 years.. :)

Oh, I also picked up a 5 Pack of $33.98   My Father Connecticut Robusto 5 Pack - 5 1/4 x 52.  I've heard such good things about My Father I thought I should try some.  My humidors are bursting at the seams, so I doubt that I'll be buying any more.  Or if I do, it's will be some thing cheeper...  I was going to try buying these and the San Cristobal on one of the bidding sights, but those bozo's were bidding $5 to $10 more then you could just buy them on sale.. ugh...  I guess it's sort of like todays cars sales, Now on Sale for only 5% to 8% more than the Manufacture Price..!!!    :o

We celebrate Jesus brutally dying on the cross by getting a giant bunny rabbit to hide chocolate eggs.

I can’t help but feel there is a massive gap in information somewhere.

Jesus walks up to a crowd of people getting ready to stone a lady to death for committing adultery and says, “Whoever is without sin may cast the first stone.”

So this little lady walks up with a big rock and smashes it down on the poor woman and splits her head wide open.

Then the little lady dusts off her hands and starts walking away. Jesus shakes his head and says, “Mom, sometimes you really get on my nerves.”

Today is Saturday, April 16, the 106th day of 2022.
There are 259 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On April 16, 1945, a Soviet submarine in the Baltic Sea torpedoed and sank the MV Goya, which Germany was using to transport civilian refugees and wounded soldiers; it’s estimated that up to 7,000 people died.

On this date:

In 1789, President-elect George Washington left Mount Vernon, Virginia, for his inauguration in New York.

In 1889, comedian and movie director Charles Chaplin was born in London.

In 1945, In his first speech to Congress, President Harry S. Truman pledged to carry out the war and peace policies of his late predecessor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In 1947, the cargo ship Grandcamp, carrying ammonium nitrate, blew up in the harbor in Texas City, Texas; a nearby ship, the High Flyer, which was carrying ammonium nitrate and sulfur, caught fire and exploded the following day; the blasts and fires killed nearly 600 people.

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in which the civil rights activist responded to a group of local clergymen who had criticized him for leading street protests; King defended his tactics, writing, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon with astronauts John W. Young, Charles M. Duke Jr. and Ken Mattingly on board.

In 1977, Alex Haley, author of the best-seller “Roots,” visited the Gambian village of Juffure, where, he believed, his ancestor Kunte Kinte was captured as a slave in 1767.

In 1996, Britain’s Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah, the Duchess of York, announced they were in the process of divorcing.

In 2003, Michael Jordan played his last NBA game with the Washington Wizards, who lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 107-87.

In 2007, in one of America’s worst school attacks, a college senior killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech before taking his own life.

In 2010, the U.S government accused Wall Street’s most powerful firm of fraud, saying Goldman Sachs & Co. had sold mortgage investments without telling buyers the securities were crafted with input from a client who was betting on them to fail. (In July 2010, Goldman agreed to pay $550 million in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but did not admit wrongdoing.)

In 2020, the Trump administration gutted an Obama-era rule that compelled the country’s coal plants to cut back emissions of mercury and other human health hazards.

Ten years ago: A trial began in Oslo, Norway, for Anders Breivik (AHN’-durs BRAY’-vihk), charged with killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in July 2011. (Breivik was found guilty of terrorism and premeditated murder and given a 21-year prison sentence.)

Five years ago: U.S. officials said a North Korean medium-range missile exploded seconds after launch, a high-profile failure that came hours before U.S. Vice President Mike Pence arrived in South Korea for a visit at the start of a 10-day trip to Asia.

One year ago: Jon Ryan Schaffer, a member of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group and a heavy metal guitarist, became the first defendant to plead guilty to federal charges in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland revoked a series of Trump-era orders that promoted fossil fuel development on public lands and waters, and issued a new order that prioritized climate change in agency decisions. Raul Castro said he was stepping down as Cuban Communist Party leader, leaving the island without a Castro guiding affairs for the first time in more than six decades. Iran began enriching uranium to its highest-ever purity, edging the country closer to weapons-grade levels as Iran tried to pressure negotiators in talks on restoring its nuclear deal with world powers.
