Today is Friday, June 16, the 167th day of 2017. There are 198 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On June 16, 1967, the three-day Monterey International Pop Music Festival, a major event of the "Summer of Love," opened in northern California; among the featured acts were Jefferson Airplane, The Who, the Grateful Dead, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding and Ravi Shankar.
On this date:
In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Lochleven Castle in Scotland. (She escaped almost a year later but ended up imprisoned again.)
In 1858, accepting the Illinois Republican Party's nomination for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
In 1903, Ford Motor Co. was incorporated.
In 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act became law with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signature. (The Act was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was founded as President Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933.
In 1942, a second four-man team of Nazi saboteurs landed in Florida, three days after another group arrived on Long Island, New York. (The plot was foiled when two members of the first team agreed to betray their comrades.)
In 1944, George Stinney, a 14-year-old black youth, was electrocuted by the state of South Carolina for the murders of two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, 7.
In 1956, poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were married in London.
In 1963, the world's first female space traveler, Valentina Tereshkova (teh-ruhsh-KOH'-vuh), 26, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6; she spent 71 hours in flight, circling the Earth 48 times before returning safely.
In 1977, Soviet Communist Party General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev was named president, becoming the first person to hold both posts simultaneously. Business software maker Oracle Corp. had its beginnings as Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates founded Oracle's precursor, Software Development Laboratories.
In 1987, a jury in New York acquitted Bernhard Goetz of attempted murder in the subway shooting of four youths he said were going to rob him; however, Goetz was convicted of illegal weapons possession. (In 1996, a civil jury ordered Goetz to pay $43 million to one of the persons he had shot.)
In 1996, Russian voters went to the polls in their first independent presidential election; the result was a runoff between President Boris Yeltsin (the eventual winner) and Communist challenger Gennady Zyuganov. Sportscaster Mel Allen died in Greenwich, Connecticut, at age 83.
In 2015, real estate mogul Donald Trump launched his successful campaign to become President of the United States with a speech at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Ten years ago: A North Carolina State Bar disciplinary committee said disgraced prosecutor Mike Nifong would be disbarred for his disastrous prosecution of three Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape. Six people were killed when a car driven by Australian-born professional drag racer Troy Critchley went out of control and plowed into a parade crowd in Selmer, Tennessee. (Critchley later pleaded guilty to reckless assault, thereby avoiding jail time.) U.S. astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams set a then-record aboard the international space station for the longest single spaceflight by any woman, surpassing the record of 188 days set by astronaut Shannon Lucid at the Mir space station in 1996. (Williams spent a total of 195 days aboard the station; her record was eclipsed in 2015 by Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency, who spent 199 days in spaceflight.)
Five years ago: Egyptians began going to the polls for a two-day runoff to choose their first freely elected president; Islamist candidate Mohammed Morsi emerged the winner. China launched its most ambitious space mission to date, carrying its first female astronaut, Liu Yang, and two male colleagues on a 13-day mission to an orbiting module that ended safely.
One year ago: President Barack Obama traveled to Orlando, Florida, the scene of a deadly nightclub shooting that claimed 49 victims; the president embraced grieving families and cheered on Democrats' push for new gun control measures. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, in a livestream to his supporters from Vermont, said he would work with Hillary Clinton to transform the Democratic Party, adding that his "political revolution" had to continue and ensure the defeat of Republican Donald Trump. Walt Disney Co. opened Shanghai Disneyland, its first theme park in mainland China.

How unfair for the NCAA to spank Rick Patino and Louisville for providing hookers to the basketball team.
Heck, it's better then having them take urges out on the general population, and besides, it's contributing to the local economy.

Short Story and a cup of hot Cuban, good breeze making it nice out on the patio right now.
But not quite as nice as dockside in coastal Carolina will be.
True
Gonna be a hot & humid mofo of a weekend here, too.
It's going to be cooler and clear for next weekend, right?

I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt
That's funny, I thought firing him was all The Donald's idea...
I get so confused.

bacon, eggs, homefries, toast fixed for breakfast. difficult with one good arm, had to pour coffee left handed because my right wrist can't support the pot.
hard to flip eggs left handed too. smoking is good though.

If you're confused, just imagine how poor Drumpf must feel! He never knows when he wakes up if he's gonna be connected with reality or not. So far, seems like mostly not.

Morning Golf, Travellin Dave must be travelling this morning.
Nope, but getting ready to travel this afternoon. Taking the parents down to son #1 in MD for Fathers Day weekend.
Morning sir, sounds like a nice thing to do for them.
They love seeing the great grandchildren. Today is also Dad's 91st birthday.
Doesn't seem that old, the closer I get. Happy birthday to Papa Dave.
Actually, his middle name IS Dave. Ivor David ....but everyone knows him as Bud.
My grandpa was named William Robert, but his father refused to call him William for some reason, only Robert. He eventually changed his name to Robert William, but everyone calls him Booby. Lol
Seems to be more of a southern thing. Lots of folks I know in the Carolinas and GA have always gone by their middle name.
well than, you folks can call me Vitaliano, then...

checked out the new ABC store today. told the manager it would have been nice to have a cigar smoker design the humidor. she said they did. I told her no real cigar smoker would have 22° angles in the corners or have cigars all the way to the floor so you have to get on your hands and knees to get access to them. at least she didn't tell me to GFY.
this is what $39.32 bought me.

It was ok but my expectations were high and it didn't live up to them.
It had that barnyard smell/taste on the prelight. Once I lit it, it was full-bodied with light spice, faint dried fruits and a lot of classic maduro flavors. I looked for nuances but couldn't find any. The cigar stayed the same all the way through. Not sure I would buy more.

Decided to try a Tabernacle to see if I should take advantage of the daily Fish-Deal, just lit it.
Definitely a nice smooth smoke but I did not really find it to be a $9-10 smoke. $7-8 I would be in but going to sit this one out.
I still have 4 left.
