On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis monoplane near Paris, completing the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33 1/2 hours.
On this date:
In 1542, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto died while searching for gold along the Mississippi River.
In 1868, Ulysses S. Grant was nominated for president by the Republican national convention in Chicago.
In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross.
In 1917, the Great Atlanta Fire broke out, burning 300 acres, destroying nearly 2,000 buildings and displacing some 10,000 residents.
In 1924, in a case that drew much notoriety, 14-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered in a “thrill killing” carried out by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb (Bobby’s cousin).
In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in Northern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland.
In 1945, actors Humphrey Bogart, 45, and Lauren Bacall, 20, were married at Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio (it was his fourth marriage, her first, and would last until Bogart’s death in 1957).
In 1955, Chuck Berry recorded his first single, “Maybellene,” for Chess Records in Chicago.
In 1972, Michelangelo’s Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged by a hammer-wielding man who shouted he was Jesus Christ.
In 1982, during the Falklands War, British amphibious forces landed on the beach at San Carlos Bay.
In 1991, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated during national elections by a suicide bomber.
In 1998, a teen gunman opened fire inside Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon, killing two students, a day after he killed his parents. (The shooter was sentenced to nearly 112 years in prison.) In the wake of deadly protests, Indonesian President Suharto stepped down after 32 years in power.

Ten years ago: Oil prices blew past $130 a barrel for the first time and gas prices climbed above $3.80 a gallon. Israel and Syria unexpectedly announced the resumption of peace talks after an eight-year break. David Cook won “American Idol” in a landslide over David Archuleta.
Five years ago: Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman told the Senate Finance Committee he first learned in the spring of 2012 that agents had improperly targeted political groups that vehemently opposed President Barack Obama’s policies, saying he decided to let the inspector general look into the matter. Singer Kellie Pickler and pro partner Derek Hough were named “Dancing with the Stars” champions.
One year ago: President Donald Trump, visiting Riyadh, implored Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries to extinguish “Islamic extremism” emanating from the region, describing a “battle between good and evil” rather than a clash between the West and Islam. North Korea fired a solid-fuel ballistic missile, saying the test was hailed as perfect by leader Kim Jong Un. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus received its final standing ovation as it performed its last show at the Nassau County Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, ending a 146-year run. Sweden won the ice hockey world championship with a 2-1 shootout victory over two-time defending champion Canada.

There's enough around. They just tend to leave a bit of a mess with the bits they don't like.

That would be for a live baby possum. An already dead one requires a carrion eater. Or the neighbor's cat.

Oh dang, had I known I would have put in my request hours ago.
Do you think my boss will take it as a threat if I tell him that I need a decision NOW if he's going to renew my contract or I'm walking out the door? It's not worth the Monday aggravation if I'm not gonna be here next week anyway.

The banterland committee works faster than any government agency, so I think you'll be waiting until 3 Tuesdays from now to find out.

looking at a replacement window air conditioner. Current one has lasted more than 10 years, wife
says it is starting to sound funny. it's a big 208/230 volt unit at least 18,000 BTU's maybe more.
it makes the dining room & living room comfortable during the summer(house built in the 20's, has steam heat
plaster walls, no duct work for central air). we get by with 3 air conditioners (finished basement stays kind of cool
till August). Sweet spot seems to be 25K BTU's under $600 for slide in chassis (install frame in window, slide in guts).

stopped at some hole in the wall smoke shop in Ocala for for a break. guy gifted me a Gurkha Park Ave out of his locker that he said had better than a year on it. I'm not a fan of Gurkhas but I remember I use to smoke the Park Ave years back. I felt bad that I had to part with a OOO beli I had in my pocket but what the hell. fired up the Grkha on the way home and it was surprisingly very good.
