Clear and 53 degrees this morning, sunny and only up to 68 this afternoon.I think it's colder there than here. Let's see...
It's 59° going to 69° but it feels a heck of a lot warmer than that. Maybe because of the humidity.

Today's Highlight in History:
On Oct. 25, 1854, the "Charge of the Light Brigade" took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army, suffering heavy losses.
On this date:
In 1415, during the Hundred Years' War, outnumbered English soldiers led by Henry V defeated French troops in the Battle of Agincourt in northern France.
In 1760, Britain's King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II.
In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C. of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months.)
In 1939, the play "The Time of Your Life," by William Saroyan, opened in New York.
In 1945, Taiwan became independent of Japanese colonial rule.
In 1954, a meeting of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Cabinet was carried live on radio and television; to date, it's the only presidential Cabinet meeting to be broadcast.
In 1957, mob boss Albert Anastasia of "Murder Inc." notoriety was shot to death by masked gunmen in a barber shop inside the Park Sheraton Hotel in New York.
In 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba; Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council.
In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan.
In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there.
In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, claimed that a black carjacker had driven off with her two young sons (Smith later confessed to drowning the children in John D. Long Lake, and was convicted of murder). Three defendants were convicted in South Africa of murdering American exchange student Amy Biehl.
In 2002, U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., was killed in a plane crash in northern Minnesota along with his wife, daughter and five others, a week and a-half before the election. Actor Richard Harris died in London at age 72.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, seeking to shore up support among women, intensified his pressure on Mitt Romney to break any ties with a Republican Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock of Indiana, who said that if a woman became pregnant from rape it was "something God intended." Romney ignored the emotional social issue, holding to an optimistic campaign tone as he fought for victory in crucial Ohio.
One year ago: A federal judge in San Francisco approved a nearly $15 billion settlement, giving nearly a half-million Volkswagen owners and leaseholders the choice between selling their diesel engine cars back or having them repaired so they didn't cheat on emissions tests and spew excess pollution. Four people were killed in a river rapids ride accident at a popular theme park in Queensland, Australia. The Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in the World Series opener.

While not much else there is worth a crap I have always been satisfied with the quality of Sears Craftsman Hand Tools (not power tools). And today I needed some wire cutters and some wire strippers so went to the Sears store very close to the new place.
Holy Chit Shirley, all of their hand tools I looked at are now MADE IN CHINA, FMTT's. I looked around and they had some old style screwdriver sets for 1/2 price, damned if they were not MADE IN USA. Bought a couple of nice sets because the boy can always USE & LOSE Tools. Checking out and commented to the old guy at the cash register and he said yeah, they have been marking down the old Made in USA stuff. No USA wire cutters left though.

The business relationship was over 100 years old.Just announced that Sears will no longer be selling Whirlpool, Kitchen-Aid or Maytag appliances. (although Whirlpool will continue to make some Kenmore appliances)Well yeah, I am surprised they have managed to stay open this long but switching to Chinese made tools is sure not going to help. Fuk'n Chinese stuff is the same price too, told the guy if I wanted Chinese tools I would just go to Harbor Freight and save 90%.:o :o :oSears has been in deep schitt for a long time.
While not much else there is worth a crap I have always been satisfied with the quality of Sears Craftsman Hand Tools (not power tools). And today I needed some wire cutters and some wire strippers so went to the Sears store very close to the new place.
Holy Chit Shirley, all of their hand tools I looked at are now MADE IN CHINA, FMTT's. I looked around and they had some old style screwdriver sets for 1/2 price, damned if they were not MADE IN USA. Bought a couple of nice sets because the boy can always USE & LOSE Tools. Checking out and commented to the old guy at the cash register and he said yeah, they have been marking down the old Made in USA stuff. No USA wire cutters left though.
Tools are one of the only things people even buy there anymore

They missed the internet bigger than anyone else. Even Microsoft. They were too invested in their brick-and-mortar presence...which is cosmically funny, given their origins.

Back when Amazon got started, my dad asked me how the company was going to survive selling booms without making any money. I explained what their strategy was, and said that they weren't going to stay with books, that eventually they'd try to become the Sears-Roebuck of the 21st century.Dead on analogy.

What I missed is that they'd try to also become the NCR of the 21st century.
Still, I wish I'd had money to buy stock back then.
