Ten years ago: World Bank President Robert Zoellick (ZEL'-ik) urged immediate action to deal with mounting food prices that had caused hunger and deadly violence in several countries. Trevor Immelman won the Masters, becoming the first South African to wear a green jacket in 30 years. A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot. Physicist John A. Wheeler, who coined the term "black holes," died in Hightstown, New Jersey, at age 96.

Five years ago: Francine Wheeler, the mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting, used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during his weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence. All 108 passengers and crew survived after a new Lion Air Boeing 737 crashed into the ocean and snapped in two while attempting to land on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. Hundreds of opponents of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher partied in London's Trafalgar Square to celebrate her death, sipping champagne and chanting, "Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead."

One year ago: Pentagon officials said U.S. forces in Afghanistan had struck an Islamic State tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan with "the mother of all bombs," the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck filed divorce petitions, the first step in formally ending their marriage more than a year after they publicly declared their relationship was over.

I had no idea Thatcher was dead.

I had no idea Lyle Waggoner was still alive.

I feel so fulfilled keeping you and Tony abreast of such things.

Did they give you a cart to pull behind the bike?

How about that, Tony beat me to this one!

Slight variation but we were definitely thinking along the same lines.

Both made me chuckle

Thought for Today: "Go on failing. Go on. Only next time, try to fail better." - Samuel Beckett, Irish playwright and author (born this date in 1906, died in 1989).

He was ahead of his time.

Hmmm, you know, walking is actually falling forward and catching yourself 1 step at a time right?
Good morning all!

That's pretty deep and a lot to think about. Good morning, Sam.
