Not too bad here. Got to the grocery store on Saturday and picked up 4 bottles of the rum I like from the distillery that is going out of business. Donuts yesterday morning for MD, then got the grocery shopping out of the way since we're going to see my parents and grandpa today non-masked for the first time since last March.
How's about you?

It was eventful, as usual. No new car accidents. No new rum for me. We had a 7:30 mother's day soccer game which my wife absolutely loved.
. Lots of doughnuts here too. In fact, there are still a couple of boxes left. My wife will be bringing some to work with her today.

My daughter is getting her second Pfizer shot today. So then the house will be half vaccinated.
-
@LuvTooGolf : did you just get tickets or have you already gone to that Van Gogh exhibit? Apparently they are doing it in New York too and I'm wondering if it is worth the price of admission?

That's nice. Hoping we'll be able to get our 2 oldest in a few weeks, if they release them for 12-15 year olds this week as expected.

We just went with 1 box, but we blew through them pretty quickly. Lol

Sun is actually out here, a welcome change after the last 2 days. Did I mention we actually got a bit of snow yesterday? Because of course we did.

That's nuts. We have been getting rain but that is expected this time of year. The temps are very reasonable. Although it is still a bit cool in the mornings and the furnace definitely kicks in.
-
And with that, we made it to Page 2. Not too shabby.

One of my neighbors, kid's coach, and friend passed away on Thursday. Massive heart attack and his 2nd daughter tried like crazy to resuscitate him but he didn't make it. This guy was in great shape but smoked cigarettes like a chimney. He was only 53. I'll be making my way to his wake later this afternoon. RIP Frank.

That's awful, doubly so for his daughter.

I hadn't heard anything predicting snow, was just supposed to be rain. Guess it got just cold enough to change it over. Only stuck to some cars though, nothing on the ground or even in the yard.

Wife and three daughters. Really great guy. But the middle daughter will never shake that image. So sad.

I finally buried the snow shovels. Let's hope I wasn't premature.

Then maybe four more. Squirrel one away to open in 10-20 years, kind of like a time capsule. Also see if it was a good as you remembered it.

Today is Monday, May 10, the 130th day of 2021.
There are 235 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 10, 1869, a golden spike was driven in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.
On this date:
In 1774, Louis XVI acceded to the throne of France.
In 1775, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, along with Col. Benedict Arnold, captured the British-held fortress at Ticonderoga, New York.
In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union forces in Irwinville, Georgia.
In 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was named acting director of the Bureau of Investigation (later known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI).
In 1933, the Nazis staged massive public book burnings in Germany.
In 1940, during World War II, German forces began invading the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. The same day, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned, and Winston Churchill formed a new government.
In 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, parachuted into Scotland on what he claimed was a peace mission. (Hess ended up serving a life sentence at Spandau Prison until 1987, when he apparently committed suicide at age 93.)
In 1977, Academy Award-winning film star Joan Crawford died in New York.
In 1994, Nelson Mandela took the oath of office in Pretoria to become South Africa’s first Black president. The state of Illinois executed serial killer John Wayne Gacy, 52, for the murders of 33 young men and boys.
In 1995, former President George H.W. Bush’s office released his letter of resignation from the National Rifle Association in which Bush expressed outrage over an NRA fund-raising letter’s reference to federal agents as “jack-booted thugs.” (NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre apologized a week later.)
In 2002, A tense 39-day-old standoff between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem ended with 13 suspected militants flown into European exile and 26 released into the Gaza Strip.
In 2010, President Barack Obama introduced Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, billing her as a unifying force for a fractured court.
-
Ten years ago: The bulging Mississippi River rolled into the Mississippi Delta after cresting before daybreak at Memphis, Tennessee, causing widespread damage. In a one-two punch against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces, NATO warplanes struck a command center in Tripoli and pounded targets around the besieged port of Misrata.
Five years ago: With his White House dreams fading, Bernie Sanders added another state to his tally against Hillary Clinton with a win in West Virginia; Republican Donald Trump also won there and in Nebraska, a week after he cleared the field of his remaining rivals. Stephen Curry became the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.
One year ago: Vice President Mike Pence was said to be self-isolating at home, two days after his press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for the coronavirus. American families celebrated Mother’s Day amid the social distancing restrictions caused by the coronavirus.
