Moving in of our furniture and household goods yesterday went very well, we plan to start living in the new place on Friday. We will not have the appliances in yet so will only have a mini-refrigerator and a microwave for about 10 days.

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2017. There are 40 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Nov. 21, 1942, the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, was formally opened at Soldier's Summit in the Yukon Territory.
On this date:
In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed a letter expressing condolences to Lydia Bixby, a Boston widow whose five sons supposedly died while fighting in the Civil War. (As it turned out, only two of Mrs. Bixby's sons had been killed.)
In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton, a Georgia Democrat, was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate; her term, the result of an interim appointment, ended the following day as Walter F. George, the winner of a special election, took office.
In 1927, picketing strikers at the Columbine Mine in northern Colorado were fired on by state police; six miners were killed.
In 1934, the Cole Porter musical "Anything Goes," starring Ethel Merman as Reno Sweeney, opened on Broadway.
In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Air Quality Act.
In 1969, the Senate voted down the Supreme Court nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth, 55-45, the first such rejection since 1930.
In 1973, President Richard Nixon's attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt (buh-ZAHRDT'), revealed the existence of an 18-1/2-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate.
In 1974, bombs exploded at a pair of pubs in Birmingham, England, killing 21 people. (Six suspects were convicted of the attack, but the convictions of the so-called "Birmingham Six" were overturned in 1991.)
In 1980, 87 people died in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. An estimated 83 million TV viewers tuned in to the CBS prime-time soap opera "Dallas" to find out "who shot J.R." (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing's sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard.)
In 1985, U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was arrested, accused of spying for Israel. (Pollard later pleaded guilty to espionage and was sentenced to life in prison; he was released on parole on Nov. 20, 2015.)
In 1992, a three-day tornado outbreak that struck 13 states began in the Houston area before spreading to the Midwest and eastern U.S.; 26 people were killed. Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., issued an apology but refused to discuss allegations that he'd made unwelcome sexual advances toward ten women over the years. (Faced with a threat of expulsion, Packwood ended up resigning from the Senate in 1995.)
-
Ten years ago: New Hampshire set its earliest-ever presidential primary, deciding on Jan. 8, 2008. Officials announced the recall of more than a half-million pieces of Chinese-made children's jewelry contaminated with lead. Engineer Herbert Saffir, who created the five-category system used to describe hurricane strength, died in Miami at age 90.
Five years ago: Two weeks after he was re-elected to a ninth full term in Congress, Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois quietly resigned in a letter in which he acknowledged an ongoing federal investigation. (Jackson would eventually be sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illegally spending campaign money.) Israel and the Hamas militant group in Gaza agreed to a cease-fire to end eight days of the fiercest fighting in nearly four years.
One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump held court from his perch high above Manhattan, receiving a line of former rivals, longtime allies and TV executives while overseeing his White House transition. An elementary school bus crash in Chattanooga, Tennessee, claimed the lives of six children.

Probably still true but in today's dollars that would be a billionaire and lethal injection not hanging.

Morning Daves and Mr. Mayor. 48 deg this morning, about 10 deg higher than yesterday morning. Heading over to Bryan in a bit, might have to stop at Sodolak's in Snook for a chicken fried bacon lunch on the way back.

Warden had the carpets cleaned yesterday, me I'm thinking Stanley Steamer, nope had Electrolux in. Would have been cheaper if I took the day off without pay! She drank the kool-aid, we are now the proud owners of two air purifiers. One is an Aerus Beyond Guardian air, and the smaller one is a Lux Guardian angel. She did not divulge the prices, but they gave her the Laundry Pro 2.0 by Aerus "for free". I have not been able to find prices online, so I am upping my estimate from $400, to well over a $1,000 for the pair. As my grandfather would have said "Pobre Solde Americano!", or something that roughly translates to these stupid Americans throw money at problems. Mind you, this from a house where the answer to,
"what's that on TV?" would have been "Dust!", and then the fight started....

I am not talking about the money she spent on the Electrolux vacuum cleaner, hell, she could have bought at least three $495 Dysons for that(she could buy a vacuum for what she pays for the Electrolux HEPA filter for the new vacuum!). these where Air purifiers (glorified fans!).

Afternoon boys. Did stop for the chicken fried bacon, which was an appetizer, and the chicken fried steak with mashed taters and gravy. The CF steak was excellent, the CF bacon was a bit underwhelming. Now excuse me while I have my arteries rotorootered.

Evening/afternoon, all! SC Redfish, I enjoyed the My Father flor de las antillas the other night that you gifted me 8 or 9 months ago. :) Thanks for that!
Threebean, you asked the other day what area of law I plan to get into. Answer is I have no clue! I'm just hoping I'll make it into the bar at this point! I haven't really been job hunting. I thought at one point I'd try to go the public defender route to gain trial experience before going solo. I've also thought seriously about civil litigation of one sort of another. Family law is an option too. Time will tell!
Hope everyone is doing well! I know it's late but maybe a straggler or two is lurking...

Evening Shank, glad you enjoyed the FDLA. Been a good while since I smoked one of those.
Been to happy hour with the lawyer. He would probably tell you to consider the prosecutor or solicitor route for a couple of years if you want a steady salary and good experience.

Lurking indeed. Being a small business owner I've had to avail myself of that type lawyer a time or two. Not very exciting or glamorous, but they seem to make good money!

Always had to laugh at the oxymoron of family law. I know it encompasses more, but the bulk is still divorce....or anti-family.
