My boss told me not to come in early today; ride it out to see if the office would be closed and then I could work from home. Still no official word and I've already started working from home. Only a sprinkling of snow here thus far.Just teasing you to get you to go in before it cranks up.

Today's Highlight in History:
On March 7, 1965, a march by civil rights demonstrators was violently broken up at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, by state troopers and a sheriff's posse in what came to be known as "Bloody Sunday."
On this date:
In 1530, Pope Clement VII threatened to excommunicate England's King Henry VIII if he went through with plans to marry Anne Boleyn, who became Henry's second wife after Catherine of Aragon. (The pope made good on his excommunication threat in 1533.)
In 1793, during the French Revolutionary Wars, France declared war on Spain.
In 1850, in a three-hour speech to the U.S. Senate, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts endorsed the Compromise of 1850 as a means of preserving the Union.
In 1918, Japanese corporation Panasonic had its beginnings as Konosuke Matsushita (maht-soosh-tah) founded Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works in Osaka. The musical comedy "Oh, Look!" featuring the song "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" opened on Broadway.
In 1926, the first successful trans-Atlantic radio-telephone conversations took place between New York and London.
In 1936, Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to march into the Rhineland, thereby breaking the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY') and the Locarno Pact.
In 1945, during World War II, U.S. forces crossed the Rhine at Remagen, Germany, using the damaged but still usable Ludendorff Bridge.
In 1955, the first TV production of the musical "Peter Pan" starring Mary Martin aired on NBC.
In 1967, the musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," based on the "Peanuts" comic strips by Charles M. Schulz, opened in New York's Greenwich Village, beginning an off-Broadway run of 1,597 performances.
In 1975, the U.S. Senate revised its filibuster rule, allowing 60 senators to limit debate in most cases, instead of the previously required two-thirds of senators present.
In 1981, anti-government guerrillas in Colombia executed kidnapped American Bible translator Chester Bitterman, whom they accused of being a CIA agent.
In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a parody that pokes fun at an original work can be considered "fair use." (The ruling concerned a parody of the Roy Orbison song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by the rap group 2 Live Crew.)
Post by: Travellin Dave on March 07, 2018, 06:27:40 AM
Five years ago: The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously for tough new sanctions to punish North Korea for its latest nuclear test; a furious Pyongyang threatened a nuclear strike against the United States. The Senate confirmed John Brennan to be CIA director, 63-34, after the Obama administration bowed to demands from Republicans blocking the nomination and stated explicitly there were limits to the president's power to use drones against U.S. terror suspects on American soil. Sybil Christopher, 83, the wife Richard Burton left in 1963 to marry Elizabeth Taylor, and who became a theater producer and nightclub founder, died in New York.
One year ago: WikiLeaks published thousands of documents described as secret files about CIA hacking tools the government employed to break into users' computers, mobile phones and even smart TVs from companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. The Commerce Department reported the U.S. trade deficit jumped in January 2017 by 9.6 percent to $48.5 billion, the highest level in nearly five years as a flood of mobile phones and other consumer products widened America's trade gap with China. A freight train smashed into a charter bus at a rail crossing in Biloxi, Mississippi, leaving four people dead.

if you guys remember, the husband (ex) is a crippled wanna be biker, drives a little old Sportster with a trolley (training wheels). he has bad hips, knees, and heart, has fallen a few times in the past 3 years and in and out of hospitals and inpatient rehab. he gets around on the bike, uses a walker the doctors want him to throw away and use a cane. while we were at the monthly pot luck meeting, he set fire to an old $.99 flag. his pants are always covered in grease and oil because that's how 'real bikers' dress. using a jar of gasoline he somehow set himself on fire. he somehow tore his pants off. instead of calling 911 and yelling for his BIL across the street he crawled through the yard into the house, took a shower and called me several times before I saw the missed calls, about an hour or two went by. I got ahold of him, the lady drove over to check on him, took him to the ER who transferred him to the burn unit in Gainesville. his daughter is with him, she's his health care proxy. talking to her a bit ago it doesn't look good. the poor circulation in his right leg is going to make skin grafts almost impossible and ganggreen may set in and the leg may need to be amputated. because of his bad heart, they don't think he'll make it through surgery. I suggested transferring him to the VA hospital, they have a great burn unit in San Antonio Texas, regardless of the bad rap the VA has, they also have a long term nursing home. the lady and him have very limited finances and the med bills may cause them to lose the new house, let alone his life.That's terrible. Is he conscious? I hope they're able to give him something for the pain.
as I said, he's a dumbass but doesn't deserve this. it's going to be a rough ride for everyone.

Truly a dumbass, but sorry to hear about that happening to just about anyone.

No, already done and left. She's not to hard on the eyes though.Forgot that the cleaning lady was coming today.....I saw a movie once that started like that. Hope it ends just as well for you!
She must have gotten a chill coming in from outside.....Bean would have been impressed.

You have a point there.....actually two...After all, she "tipped" you.Don't forget to tip her.My thinking as well.There are worse ways to hurt oneself.Forgot that the cleaning lady was coming today.....Not too much contact. Those things can put your eyes out.

Don't know what's louder....the thunder or the pines popping under the weight of the snow.Sophia popping out of her dress is the most attention getting regardless.
