It's Tuesday again! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 14, the 45th day of 2017. There are 320 days left in the year. This is Valentine's Day.

Today's Highlights in History:

On Feb. 14, 1967, Aretha Franklin recorded her cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" at Atlantic Records in New York. The Turtles' single "Happy Together" was released on the White Whale label.

On this date:

In 1778, the American ship Ranger carried the recently adopted Stars and Stripes to a foreign port for the first time as it arrived in France.

In 1849, President James K. Polk became the first U.S. chief executive to be photographed while in office as he posed for Matthew Brady in New York City.

In 1859, Oregon was admitted to the Union as the 33rd state.

In 1903, the Department of Commerce and Labor was established. (It was divided into separate departments of Commerce and Labor in 1913.)

In 1912, Arizona became the 48th state of the Union as President William Howard Taft signed a proclamation.

In 1929, the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capone's gang were gunned down.

In 1941, the Carson McCullers novel "Reflections in a Golden Eye," previously serialized, was published in book form by Houghton Mifflin.

In 1962, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy conducted a televised tour of the White House in a videotaped special that was broadcast on CBS and NBC (and several nights later on ABC).

In 1979, Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, was kidnapped in Kabul by Muslim extremists and killed in a shootout between his abductors and police.

In 1989, Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses," a novel condemned as blasphemous.

In 1990, 92 people were killed when an Indian Airlines passenger jet crashed while landing at a southern Indian airport.

In 2013, Double-amputee and Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in South Africa; he was later convicted of murder and is serving a six-year prison term.

Ten years ago: Challenged on the accuracy of U.S. intelligence, President George W. Bush told a news conference there was no doubt the Iranian government was providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq, and said he would fight any attempt by the Democratic-controlled Congress to cut off money for the war. ConAgra recalled all Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter made at a Georgia plant because of a salmonella outbreak.

Five years ago: A fire broke out at the Comayagua farm prison in Honduras, killing 361 inmates. "Linsanity" continued as Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with less than a second to play to cap his finishing flurry of six straight points and New York rallied to beat the Raptors 90-87, extending its winning streak to six games. Malachy the Pekingese won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club in New York.

One year ago: Pope Francis condemned the drug trade's "dealers of death" and urged Mexicans to shun the devil's lust for money as he led a huge open-air Mass for more than 300,000 people in the poverty-stricken Mexico City suburb of Ecatepec (EHK'-ah-teh-PEHK'). The first NBA All-Star Game outside the U.S. was the highest-scoring ever, with the West defeating the East 196-173 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. "The Revenant" was named best picture at the British Academy Film Awards.

That rule goes way back when lots of small rural motels did not meet fire codes and once done rules almost never go away.  We stay in a lot of small towns around the country and name brand hotels were not there and not all that long ago.

Embassy Suites?  Livin' large on a fresh travel budget, I see.
No fresh budget this one is carryover but will run out pretty soon, as will I .
Usually do Courtyard, but best in Asheboro is a Fairfield Inn. (free breakfast as well)
Fairfields or Hampton Inn is about as high on the hog I live on the road.  I ain't no Embassy Suites fancy-pants.
Your Travel Department probably has a policy against that.
Yeah, that guy is a cheap ass just like the f'ker in HR.
We get a flat rate allowance based on location and as long as it meets the fire code we can stay anywhere we choose at that max rate.
Meets fire code?  What sort of a f'kn fleabag would you have to stay in for it to not meet fire code?  What if the hotel lacks race and gender diversity, then what?  Y'all's rules and regs never cease to amaze me.
That I rule goes way back when lots of small rural motels did not meet fire codes and once done rules almost never go away.  We stay in a lot of small towns around the country and name brand hotels were not there and not all that long ago.
what, they don't have water in the rooms to throw on a fire?

Happy Valentines Day. just finished making the lady happy, got her a Redbud tree for her yard. she's always wanted one. more expensive than roses, candy, and jewelry though. I got a Xi4 cutter, X875 cutter, Moretti cutter/cigar holder, cigar punch, torch lighter, and black licorice. lunch date with the redhead and it's meeting night so I'll sleep alone. easy peasy.
Hope you got lots of stuff to cut!

Afternoon, all.

Not much, just trying to learn the new job. Work days are flying by when you don't hate what you do. Lunch right now, so I figured I'd stop in for a bit, see what's doing.

speaking of which, CBS news mentioned that they may not cover Trump live going forward,
since they are not thrilled with his stating his opinions as if they are facts. 3 million illegal voters,
 biggest inauguration crowds ever, news media does not cover terrorist attacks, 85% murder rate
in some cities...  just kidding.....

Finally smoked that La Carême. I was on a Webex while smoking it and wasn't able to get a photo. Very different kind of cigar. The draw was a little tight but it had good smoke production. Mostly tasted cocoa but also had some clove notes. I think it was super complex but I wasn't paying too much attention. Definitely need to try that one again.
