Today is Friday, April 6, the 96th day of 2018. There are 269 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On April 6, 1968, 41 people were killed by two consecutive natural gas explosions at a sporting goods store in downtown Richmond, Indiana.
On this date:
In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, New York.
In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day.
In 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece.
In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole.
In 1917, the United States entered World War I as the House joined the Senate in approving a declaration of war against Germany that was then signed by President Woodrow Wilson.
In 1943, "Le Petit Prince" (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was first published by Reynal & Hitchcock of New York.
In 1954, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., responding to CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow's broadside against him on "See It Now," said in remarks filmed for the program that Murrow had, in the past, "engaged in propaganda for Communist causes."
In 1965, the United States launched Intelsat I, also known as the "Early Bird" communications satellite, into geosynchronous orbit.
In 1971, Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky, 88, died in New York City.
In 1988, Tirza Porat, a 15-year-old Israeli girl, was killed in a West Bank melee. (Although Arabs were initially blamed, the army concluded Tirza had been accidentally shot by a Jewish settler.)
In 1998, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 9,000 points for the first time, ending the day at 9,033.23. Country singer Tammy Wynette died at her Nashville home at age 55.
In 2014, actor Mickey Rooney, 93, died in North Hollywood.

Ten years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking at a private fundraiser in San Francisco, spoke of voters in Pennsylvania's Rust Belt communities who "cling to guns or religion" because of bitterness about their economic lot; Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton seized on the comment, calling it "elitist." President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin, meeting at the Black Sea resort of Sochi, failed to overcome sharp differences over a U.S. missile defense system as they closed their seven-year relationship.

Five years ago: Iran and six world powers failed to reach agreement during talks in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on how to reduce fears that Tehran might use its nuclear technology to make weapons. Militants killed six Americans, including diplomat Anne Smedinghoff, 25, and an Afghan doctor in a pair of attacks in Afghanistan, the deadliest day for the United States in the war in eight months.

One year ago: President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) opened a two-day summit at Trump's Florida beach resort. The National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, hosted a centennial observance of the day the U.S. entered the global conflict. Don Rickles, the big-mouthed, bald-headed "Mr. Warmth" whose verbal assaults endeared him to audiences and peers and made him the acknowledged grandmaster of insult comedy, died at his Beverly Hills home at age 90.

Lol. I was watching some coverage on my phone at work, then had it on once I got home, because despite being outnumbered, I control the tv. Only missed about 45 minutes of it when I had to take one of the kids to her dentist appt.

Hey Tony,  the VS was ok, a bit uninspiring, but decent enough tobacco flavors.  this morning was a Mark Twain which is usually a solid morning coffee smoke and today was no different.  how did last night's smoke finish up?  seemed like you were liking it when I left yesterday.

work problem solved, now, I get to work the rest of the day from home (since i started fixing the
problem from here!).  question do i go downstairs, and have breakfast, or shower and shave and get out of my robe, and get dressed first.  Normally, I take care of all the 2nd floor stuff, then go downstairs,
but since i got to come back up, anyway to finish working, it's not as crucial.  At my age I am beginning to hate stairs.

I believe CI bought Serious Cigars in Houston and are building a new CI in the Dallas burbs.
I heard about the far north Dallas plan but not about Serious.  Sheesh, loose money due to incompetence and expand on the concept.

work problem solved, now, I get to work the rest of the day from home (since i started fixing the
problem from here!).  question do i go downstairs, and have breakfast, or shower and shave and get out of my robe, and get dressed first.  Normally, I take care of all the 2nd floor stuff, then go downstairs,
but since i got to come back up, anyway to finish working, it's not as crucial.  At my age I am beginning to hate stairs.
You smoking yet?

There's even a question there?  you're working from home, not going out anywhere, and wondering if you should clean up for the day?  Man, i'd even cook breakfast and leave the dishes for later today.
