Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars. Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

But on Saturday, we'll just be complaining about all the garbage and recycling we'll have to take out.

The complaining part is for sure. Otherwise there would be silence.

Good morning, Dave.

I can't figure out the garbage pickup in my town. When I bust my ass to get it all out the night before, they always show up late. Today is one of those. It's after 7 and they still haven't come. Then when I do it first thing in the morning, even before any meetings (in the 5 o'clock hour) they've already passed.

Morning, Tony. I really should get around to wrapping some of these presents.

Sounds like they're watching you.

I've got one for the wife that is still sitting at the store in CA, waiting for the post office to pick it up. It's been there 10 days now. And the last one for the kids was mailed from Cincinnati on the 28th, and is still en route. I could've walked to Cincy and back in that time, twice.

Several times.
I hope you have a Plan B.

Not to worry, the present she bought for me hasn't arrived, either. Lol
But I have one other for here that's already here. As for the one for the kids, it was just a small thing that would probably go in their stocking, so if it doesn't get here, we'll just give it to them later. Besides, based on how my bedroom looks right now, they're getting plenty of stuff.

We're seeing the same thing for packages we shipped out. Dropped at the PO on 12/14, still "in transit". Lends new meaning to the word "priority".

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 22, the 357th day of 2020.
There are nine days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 22, 2001, Richard C. Reid, a passenger on an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami, tried to ignite explosives in his shoes, but was subdued by flight attendants and fellow passengers. (Reid is serving a life sentence in federal prison.)
On this date:
In 1858, opera composer Giacomo Puccini was born in Lucca, Italy.
In 1894, French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in a court-martial that triggered worldwide charges of anti-Semitism. (Dreyfus was eventually vindicated.)
In 1940, author Nathanael West, 37, and his wife, Eileen McKenney, 27, were killed in a car crash in El Centro, Calif. while en route to the funeral of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who had died the day before.
In 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived in Washington for a wartime conference with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, U.S. Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe rejected a German demand for surrender, writing “Nuts!” in his official reply.
In 1968, Julie Nixon married David Eisenhower in a private ceremony in New York.
In 1984, New York City resident Bernhard Goetz (bur-NAHRD’ gehts) shot and wounded four youths on a Manhattan subway, claiming they were about to rob him.
In 1989, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu (chow-SHES’-koo), the last of Eastern Europe’s hard-line Communist rulers, was toppled from power in a popular uprising. Playwright Samuel Beckett died in Paris at age 83.
In 1991, the body of Marine Lt. Col. William R. Higgins, an American hostage slain by his terrorist captors, was recovered after it had been dumped along a highway in Lebanon.
In 1992, a Libyan Boeing 727 jetliner crashed after a midair collision with a MiG fighter, killing all 157 aboard the jetliner, and both crew members of the fighter jet.
In 2003, a federal judge ruled the Pentagon couldn’t enforce mandatory anthrax vaccinations for military personnel.
In 2008, five Muslim immigrants accused of scheming to massacre U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix were convicted of conspiracy in Camden, N.J. (Four were later sentenced to life in prison; one received a 33-year sentence.)

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama signed a law allowing gays for the first time in history to serve openly in America’s military, repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The Senate ratified the New START treaty with Russia capping nuclear warheads for both nations and restarting on-site weapons inspections. Auburn’s Cam Newton was named AP Player of the Year. “The Lone Ranger” announcer Fred Foy died in Woburn (WOO’-burn), Massachusetts, at age 89.
Five years ago: Migration experts said more than a million people who had been driven out of their countries by war, poverty and persecution entered Europe in 2015. Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey was named The Associated Press college football player of the year.
One year ago: Baba Ram Dass, a 1960s counterculture spiritual leader who experimented with LSD and traveled to India to find enlightenment, died at the age of 88. Afghanistan’s election commission said a preliminary vote count showed that incumbent President Ashraf Ghani had won reelection with 50.64% of the vote. (Both Ghani and rival Abdullah Abdullah claimed victory; they announced a power-sharing arrangement in May 2020 in which Ghani would remain president.)

As do I, since the wife couldn't wrap a gift decently if her life depended on it. Mine look like they were wrapped by Santa, hers by Blitzen.

Exactly. The bicyclists should have no problem dodging the flaming cylinders bouncing across the road, either.
