Friday! No "school" for the kids today and Monday, so I imagine there will be lots of sleeping in today. I may not see the 14-year-old until lunch time. :D

Good morning, Dave. My 14 year old loves her sleep too. What's the occasion for the long weekend?

Isn't one, as far as I can tell. Their school likes to schedule teacher in-service days like that, to give the kids long weekends.

That would drive me nuts. Do these schools know that some parents have jobs? I feel like we're at their beck and call. One day last week they told us, there will be a half day tomorrow. School was virtual anyway and I'm working from home but that's not the point.

No doubt. We're lucky that in normal times, one of us is always home, since the wife works in the evenings. But parents who don't have that sort of flexibility, I don't know how they manage. And right now even moreso, with so many kids home. It's gotta be an immense struggle for some.

Anyhoo, did you see any cigar deals out there?

$4.50 a cigar for sampler bundle of 15. Not too bad for SD pricing.

Today is Friday, Oct. 2, the 276th day of 2020.
There are 90 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 2, 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed.
On this date:
In 1869, political and spiritual leader Mohandas K. Gandhi was born in Porbandar, India.
In 1890, comedian Groucho Marx was born Julius Marx in New York.
In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital.
In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers.
In 1958, the former French colony of Guinea in West Africa proclaimed its independence.
In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term.
In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colorado, killing 31 of the 40 people on board.
In 1984, Richard W. Miller became the first FBI agent to be arrested and charged with espionage. (Miller was tried three times; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was released after nine years.)
In 2002, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for killing 10 people and wounding three others; Muhammad was executed in 2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in prison.)
In 2005, a tour boat, the Ethan Allen, capsized on New York’s Lake George, killing 20 elderly passengers. Playwright August Wilson died in Seattle at age 60. Actor-comedian Nipsey Russell died in New York at age 87.
In 2017, rock superstar Tom Petty died at a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 66, a day after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu, California.
In 2018, President Donald Trump ignited a crowd at a campaign rally in Mississippi by mocking Christine Blasey (BLAH’-zee) Ford over her claim that she had been sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh decades ago; Trump also said it’s a “very scary time for young men in America” who could be considered guilty based on an accusation.

Ten years ago: A coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched by the thousands on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., pledging to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama said he wouldn’t sign another temporary government funding bill after the current one expired Dec. 11, insisting that congressional Republicans and Democrats work out a long-term budget deal with the White House. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced his resignation, which President Obama reluctantly accepted. Former Panamanian President Eric Arturo Delvalle, 78, who was deposed in 1988 after challenging then-dictator Manuel Noriega, died in Cleveland, Ohio.
One year ago: House Democrats threatened to make White House defiance of a congressional request for testimony and documents potential grounds for an article of impeachment. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged for the first time that he had been on the phone call in which President Donald Trump pressed Ukraine’s president to investigate Democrat Joe Biden. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders canceled campaign events “until further notice,” a day after being treated for what his campaign later confirmed was a heart attack. A World War II-era plane with 13 people aboard crashed and burned at an airport near Hartford, Connecticut, after encountering mechanical trouble on takeoff; seven people were killed. A Dallas jury sentenced white former police officer Amber Guyger to 10 years in prison, a day after convicting her of murder in the killing of her Black upstairs neighbor; she said she had mistaken his apartment for her own.

Oh, don't get me wrong. The Dakotas are scenic, and Mt Rushmore is a must-see at least once in your life. But romantic? I suppose someone must think so. Just not me.

POTUS, FLOTUS, Hope, now Pres. of ND who were all meeting with Judge Barrett....will she be next.
They shouldn't have gone against Ginsberg's wishes. She's definitely haunting them from beyond.
