Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 4, 1868, "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins, considered by some the first full-length English detective novel, began to be serialized in Britain and the U.S. in All the Year Round and Harper's Weekly (it was published in book form in July 1868).
On this date:
In 1717, France, Britain and Holland formed a Triple Alliance against Spain.
In 1896, Utah was admitted as the 45th state.
In 1904, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Williams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the United States freely; however, the court stopped short of declaring them citizens. (Puerto Ricans received U.S. citizenship in March 1917.)
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped.
In 1943, for the second time, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin made the cover of TIME as the magazine's 1942 "Man of the Year."
In 1951, during the Korean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul (sohl).
In 1960, author and philosopher Albert Camus (al-BEHR' kah-MOO') died in an automobile accident in Villeblevin, France, at age 46.
In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his "Great Society."
In 1967, "The Doors," the self-titled debut album of the rock group featuring the song "Light My Fire," was released by Elektra Records.
In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.
In 1987, 16 people were killed when an Amtrak train bound from Washington, D.C., to Boston collided with Conrail locomotives that had crossed into its path from a side track in Chase, Maryland.
In 1995, the 104th Congress convened, the first entirely under Republican control since the Eisenhower era.

Five years ago: The new Congress passed a $9.7 billion bill to help pay flood insurance claims to homeowners, renters and businesses damaged by Superstorm Sandy. No. 10 Texas A&M beat No. 12 Oklahoma, 41-13, in the Cotton Bowl.
One year ago: President Barack Obama urged congressional Democrats to "look out for the American people" in defending his legacy health care overhaul, while Vice President-elect Mike Pence stood firm in telling Republicans that dismantling "Obamacare" was No. 1 on Donald Trump's list. Macy's said it was eliminating more than 10,000 jobs and planned to move forward with 68 store closures after a disappointing holiday shopping season.

Friend of mine was sitting in a hotel lobby last night, browsing a Facebook group I run for shooting enthusiasts. Night manager comes over and tells him people had reported he was looking at guns on his computer. My friend explained. Manager asked him to stop doing it in the lobby. Friend says, "You understand my employer has spent half a million dollars on this hotel past twelve months, and that I make the decision which hotel we use?" Manager apologized, but insisted. So my friend sent the memo they were changing hotels.

Better warn him not to be cigar shopping in that lobby on his laptop, that will surely offend someone as well.Probably would have been okay if he'd done that. People would have assumed he was just a wannabe actor.Was he standing on his chair with the laptop screen facing away from him, screaming, "say hello to my little friend... rattattattattat" ???It's our own little Soviet Republic.That state has been circling the drain for years and recently pulled the handle again.Unless it's a load-bearing state, and the rest of the US is what ends up getting flushed. :)Madame St. Helens is 48 miles south of the office, which is 54 miles southwest of my house. So no, didn't feel it. We didn't notice when it blew its head off in 1980, either.Some minor earthquakes around Mt. St. Helens...wonder if it woke Raz up?Apparently not.
There was a 4.4 in SFO this morning too. I'm hoping the big one is coming soon and California gets flushed.
Friend of mine was sitting in a hotel lobby last night, browsing a Facebook group I run for shooting enthusiasts. Night manager comes over and tells him people had reported he was looking at guns on his computer. My friend explained. Manager asked him to stop doing it in the lobby. Friend says, "You understand my employer has spent half a million dollars on this hotel past twelve months, and that I make the decision which hotel we use?" Manager apologized, but insisted. So my friend sent the memo they were changing hotels.
Dumbass state full of dumbass people.

As it was, he was sitting quietly. Guess that scared people.

Beware the falling iguanas in South Florida.
When temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s, people from West Palm Beach to Miami know to be on the lookout for reptiles stunned — but not necessarily killed — by the cold. They can come back to life again in the warmth.
In Boca Raton, Frank Cerabino, a Palm Beach Post columnist familiar with the critters, stepped outside and saw a bright green specimen by his pool on Thursday morning, feet up.
“It’s one of those ethical things: What do you do?” he said in an interview.
Iguanas, which can be as long as six feet, are not native to South Florida. They have proliferated in the subtropical heat, causing headaches for wildlife managers — and occasionally popping up in toilets. It took a prolonged cold spell to significantly reduce their population in 2010. (The same cold snap also resulted in the deaths of many invasive Burmese pythons.)
On Thursday, Mr. Cerabino poked at the animal with his pool skimmer, hoping to wake it up. In a previous backyard encounter with a paralyzed iguana, he said, picking it up with a shovel did the trick.
But no luck this time.
“He didn’t move,” Mr. Cerabino said. “But he’s probably still alive. My experience is that they take a while to die.”
So he opted for leaving the iguana where it was, “and dealing with it when I come home.”
“He’ll either get enough sun where he’ll revive himself and get himself up the tree, or he’ll continue to freeze and turn dark brown — almost black — and I’ll know he’s dead,” Mr. Cerabino said.

Not to bad actually. They have the same problem in Puerto Rico. Allowed to kill them at will. Worst thing is they don't climb down from trees well, so usually just drop. Not good when they land on a car.Those Iguanas Falling From Trees in Florida? They Probably Aren’t Dead.Interesting. Can't we eat it instead?
Beware the falling iguanas in South Florida.
When temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s, people from West Palm Beach to Miami know to be on the lookout for reptiles stunned — but not necessarily killed — by the cold. They can come back to life again in the warmth.
In Boca Raton, Frank Cerabino, a Palm Beach Post columnist familiar with the critters, stepped outside and saw a bright green specimen by his pool on Thursday morning, feet up.
“It’s one of those ethical things: What do you do?” he said in an interview.
Iguanas, which can be as long as six feet, are not native to South Florida. They have proliferated in the subtropical heat, causing headaches for wildlife managers — and occasionally popping up in toilets. It took a prolonged cold spell to significantly reduce their population in 2010. (The same cold snap also resulted in the deaths of many invasive Burmese pythons.)
On Thursday, Mr. Cerabino poked at the animal with his pool skimmer, hoping to wake it up. In a previous backyard encounter with a paralyzed iguana, he said, picking it up with a shovel did the trick.
But no luck this time.
“He didn’t move,” Mr. Cerabino said. “But he’s probably still alive. My experience is that they take a while to die.”
So he opted for leaving the iguana where it was, “and dealing with it when I come home.”
“He’ll either get enough sun where he’ll revive himself and get himself up the tree, or he’ll continue to freeze and turn dark brown — almost black — and I’ll know he’s dead,” Mr. Cerabino said.

Speaking of interesting menu's, I enjoy the Lambertville Station's winter game menu.I wouldn't want to clean it but I would definitely try eating it.You call that a knife?
