Today's Highlight in History:
On September 12, 1942, during World War II, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians; it's estimated more than 1,600 people died while some 1,100 survived after the ship sank. The German crew, joined by other U-boats, began rescue operations. (On September 16, the rescue effort came to an abrupt halt when the Germans were attacked by a U.S. Army bomber; as a result, U-boat commanders were ordered to no longer rescue civilian survivors of submarine attacks.)
On this date:
In 1814, the Battle of North Point took place in Maryland during the War of 1812 as American forces slowed British troops advancing on Baltimore.
In 1846, Elizabeth Barrett secretly married Robert Browning at St. Marylebone Church in London.
In 1914, during World War I, the First Battle of the Marne ended in an Allied victory against Germany.
In 1938, Adolf Hitler demanded the right of self-determination for the Sudeten (soo-DAYT'-un) Germans in Czechoslovakia.
In 1944, the Second Quebec Conference opened with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in attendance.
In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier (boo-vee-AY') in Newport, Rhode Island.
In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy addressed questions about his Roman Catholic faith, telling the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, "I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me."
In 1974, Emperor Haile Selassie (HY'-lee sehl-AH'-see) was deposed by Ethiopia's military after ruling for 58 years.
In 1977, South African black student leader and anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko (BEE'-koh), 30, died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry.
In 1986, Joseph Cicippio (sih-SIHP'-ee-oh), the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped (he was released in December 1991).
In 1987, reports surfaced that Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden had borrowed, without attribution, passages of a speech by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock (KIHN'-ik) for one of his own campaign speeches. (The Kinnock report, along with other damaging revelations, prompted Biden to drop his White House bid.)
In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the first married couple in space; Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space; and Mamoru Mohri, the first Japanese national to fly on a U.S. spaceship. Police in Peru captured Shining Path founder Abimael Guzman. Actor Anthony Perkins died in Hollywood at age 60.

Five years ago: The U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli, Libya, after the mob attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. President Barack Obama strongly condemned the violence, and vowed to bring the killers to justice; Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused the administration of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events in the Middle East.
One year ago: Striking a conciliatory tone after an Oval Office sitdown, President Barack Obama and the top Senate Republican declared themselves hopeful that an agreement could be reached to keep the government running and to provide money to take care of the worsening Zika (ZEE'-kuh) crisis. Two men disrupted a live broadcast of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" by rushing onto the stage to protest Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte's presence on the show. (Lochte and his swimming teammates faced criticism since they were involved in an early-morning drunken encounter at a gas station in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.)

Thought for Today: "Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing it." - Jesse Owens, Olympic gold medal track and field athlete (born this date in 1913, died in 1980).I like this quote. Not sure I believe it, but I like it.

@ Fish - How is your sister in Naples?All good, reasonably speaking. She's driving down today with her BIL, who works for them. He's a trades guy who takes care of their properties, they bought a trailer and are going down to assess and make repairs. No water damage or flooding but they have fencing, screen enclosures and landscaping that took a beating...nothing compared to what was forcasted but plenty of work to do regardless. They have their house we've been going to and just bought a new one 3 miles from there. They will rent out the current one and move into the new one later this year, they also have 4 or 5 other rental homes they own in the same area. Can't shed many tears for someone who can own so much but the storm could have really put a hurting on them

went into work, but left at 5pm to get back to NJ early for a 6:15 dental appointment.
train from NY Penn Station to Secaucus, has door problems, so we don't leave on time and I miss the 5:46 connection. So I am sitting there waiting for the 6:13, and NJ Transit decides to cancel it. Next connection
is 6:46pm. Call dentist and let them know I won't make the appointment. get off that train, and while driving to my house, I am passed by an ambulance and a police car. I turn on my street, and there are 4 police cars and 3 ambulances in front of my house, and the street is blocked. Thought one of my elderly neighbor might be having medical problems, nope, there is blood on my sidewalk, someone passing through the neighborhood was stabbed. they take him away in one of the ambulances.

OK, slim pickings at the gate and the airport in general. Nice light Tuesday crowd wise.Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. You weren't gonna use that rack anyways.

Been a busy day, went in for my injections and accidents at almost every light NOT working on the 3 lane in Ocala. WalMart in Ocala got a shipment of gas in, traffic backed up for at least 2 blocks in the right lane. Fight broke out because a guy couldn't get in the center lane. Fights back home in Inglis with evacuees trying to get gas, food, etc, locals I guess had enough of them. No gas reported in my area in Crystal River through Inglis. My power was restored an hour ago so I'm slowly putting the house back in order, air the place out, and do laundry. Oh, and I'm all out of cigars.No big deal until I saw that last problem and that one is a big fukn deal!
