In 1984, "Baby Fae," a newborn with a severe heart defect, was given the heart of a baboon in an experimental transplant in Loma Linda, California. (Baby Fae lived 21 days with the animal heart.) "The Terminator," a science-fiction movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a killer cyborg from the future, was released by Orion Pictures.

Ten years ago: Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (mahk-MOOD' ah-muh-DEE'-neh-zhadh) declared that Israel was a "disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the map." A 20-year-old Palestinian blew himself up in an open-air market in Hadera, killing five Israelis. The Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros, 1-0, in Game 4 to win their first World Series since 1917.

Five years ago: Saddam Hussein's foreign minister, Tariq Aziz, was sentenced to death for persecuting members of Shiite religious parties under the former regime. (The sentence was never carried out; Aziz died of a heart attack in June 2015.) Iran began loading fuel into the core of its first nuclear power plant. A day after an earthquake sparked a deadly tsunami, Indonesia saw another natural disaster as Mount Merapi (meh-RAH'-pee) began erupting explosively, resulting in hundreds of deaths in the weeks that followed.

One year ago: Left-leaning Dilma Roussef was narrowly re-elected in Brazil's tightest presidential election since its return to democracy three decades earlier. Serena Williams won the WTA Tour Finals for the third straight year and fifth time overall, beating Simona Halep 6-3, 6-0 in Singapore. The San Francisco Giants shut out the Kansas City Royals 5-0 to take a 3-2 edge in the World Series.

How Old Am I?
-------------------------

The teacher noticed that Johnny had been daydreaming
for a long time. She decided to get his attention.
"Johnny," she said, "If the world is 25,000 miles
around and eggs are sixty cents a dozen, how
old am I?

"Thirty-four," Johnny answered unhesitatingly.

The teacher replied "Well, that's not far from
my actual age. Tell me...how did you guess?"

Oh, there's nothing to it," Johnny said. "My
big sister is seventeen and she's only half-crazy."

Time to hit the road for work, 10 inches of rain since Saturday should make for a interesting ride to work.

No rubbers for me, I did have to take a bunch of alternate routes to work though, lots and lots of closed roads.

That's crazy, guess that hurricane was no joke. We have a bunch of places on TX right now where we're not writing business, until the flooding passes.

I am sure we will be added to that list, I bet New Orleans is really feeling it right now.
