Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 19, 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; about 80 people, including two dozen children and sect leader David Koresh, were killed.
On this date:
In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord.
In 1912, a special subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee opened hearings in New York into the Titanic disaster.
In 1933, the United States went off the gold standard.
In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces.
In 1945, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Carousel” opened on Broadway.
In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”
In 1977, the Supreme Court, in Ingraham v. Wright, ruled 5-4 that even severe spanking of schoolchildren by faculty members did not violate the Eighth Amendment ban against cruel and unusual punishment.
In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean. (The Navy initially suspected that a dead crew member had deliberately sparked the blast, but later said there was no proof of that.)
In 1994, a Los Angeles jury awarded $3.8 million to beaten motorist Rodney King.
In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh, who prosecutors said had planned the attack as revenge for the Waco siege of two years earlier, was convicted of federal murder charges and executed in 2001.)
In 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope in the first conclave of the new millennium; he took the name Benedict XVI.
In 2013, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv), a 19-year-old college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombings, was taken into custody after a manhunt that had left the city virtually paralyzed; his older brother and alleged accomplice, 26-year-old Tamerlan (TAM’-ehr-luhn), was killed earlier in a furious attempt to escape police.

Five years ago: Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man, died a week after suffering a spinal cord injury in the back of a Baltimore police van while he was handcuffed and shackled. (Six police officers were charged; three were acquitted and the city’s top prosecutor eventually dropped the three remaining cases.) At the Academy of Country Music Awards, Miranda Lambert won four awards, including album and song of the year, but lost the night’s top prize, Entertainer of the Year, to Luke Bryan.
One year ago: The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democrat Jerrold Nadler of New York, issued a subpoena for the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe and the underlying materials. President Donald Trump rejected claims from former administration officials cited in the Mueller report that he had tried numerous times to stop or influence the probe. A fire service official in Paris said architects and construction workers had stabilized the damaged structure of Notre Dame cathedral, four days after a fire ravaged the iconic building. A Southern California couple who had pleaded guilty to locking up and abusing 12 of their 13 children for years were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

I am contacting you regarding a special cargo that has been abandoned in our Equatorial Guinea Embassy Security Warehouse in Brussels Belgium.for over a period of 1 year owned by former president Robert Mugabe.And when scanned,it revealed an undisclosed sum of United State dollars in it.From my findings, the cargo content was not declared as money by the consignor in Order to avoid confiscation or exposed to their opposition leaders.
I am Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Mr.SIMEÓN OYONO ESONO ANGUE.Responsible for the State's Diplomacy,Bilateral,and Multilateral Relations Affairs as well as for providing support for a Country's Citizens who are abroad.I have made official report in a substantially verbatim that the cargo belongs to Late President Robert Mugabe Business Partner.
In my personal search for a reliable person, I wish to present you as the recipient of the cargo since President Robert has rest in peace. You will visit the Embassy Clearance Department for Claiming of the Cargo as the beneficiary Immediately after the whole country start fresh free movement across the globe. We need to sign memorandum of agreement between us for what should be your commission.
Best Regards

appears my freezer in the fridge has about had it or someone left the door open. good thing there wasn't much in the line of perishables. ice cream, popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, and two bags of frizen ravioli. I will cook them up slightly and throw then in the fridge.It could have been much worse. How about milkshakes for dinner?

It wound up being a very nice day. It was the soccer coach's 50th birthday and the whole team, of course with their families, paraded in their cars around his block with banners and signs. Then we went to see Grandma from afar as we delivered some groceries. It was a nice day for a drive.It's nice to hear stories like that Tony. There's too much negativity right now. We have to all keep our distance but let's all show everyone we are all together.
