Today is Monday, Feb. 28, the 59th day of 2022.
There are 306 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 28, 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51-day standoff began.
On this date:
In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others.
In 1849, the California gold rush began in earnest as regular steamship service started bringing gold-seekers to San Francisco.
In 1911, President William Howard Taft nominated William H. Lewis to be the first Black Assistant Attorney General of the United States.
In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA.
In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai issued the Shanghai Communique, which called for normalizing relations between their countries, at the conclusion of Nixon’s historic visit to China.
In 1975, 42 people were killed in London’s Underground when a train smashed into the end of a tunnel.
In 1996, Britain’s Princess Diana agreed to divorce Prince Charles. (Their 15-year marriage officially ended in August 1996; Diana died in a car crash in Paris a year after that.)
In 2009, Paul Harvey, the news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the nation’s most familiar voices, died in Phoenix at age 90.
In 2013, Benedict XVI became the first pope in 600 years to resign, ending an eight-year pontificate. (Benedict was succeeded the following month by Pope Francis.)
In 2014, delivering a blunt warning to Moscow, President Barack Obama expressed deep concern over reported military activity inside Ukraine by Russia and warned “there will be costs” for any intervention.
In 2018, Walmart announced that it would no longer sell firearms and ammunition to people younger than 21 and would remove items resembling assault-style rifles from its website. Dick’s Sporting Goods said it would stop selling assault-style rifles and ban the sale of all guns to anyone under 21.
In 2020, the number of countries touched by the coronavirus climbed to nearly 60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the week 12.4% lower in the market’s worst weekly performance since the 2008 financial crisis.

Five years ago: Heralding a “new chapter of American greatness,” President Donald Trump issued a broad call for overhauling the nation’s health care system and significantly boosting military spending in an hourlong speech to a joint session of Congress. Amazon’s cloud-computing service, Amazon Web Services, experienced a five-hour outage in its eastern U.S. region, causing unprecedented and widespread problems for thousands of websites and apps.
One year ago: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledged for the first time that some of his behavior with women “may have been insensitive or too personal” and said he would cooperate with a sexual harassment investigation led by the state’s attorney general. Former President Donald Trump, addressing a conservative conference in Florida in his first public speech since leaving office, encouraged everyone to get vaccinated against COVID-19. “Nomadland” and “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” took the top film honors at the Golden Globe Awards, capping a night that featured homebound winners accepting their awards.

It was an all glass table attached to the wall under a mirror. The damn thing was practically invisible. I bumped it with a camera case cause I didn't see it, but luckily, the only damage was to my pride.Pant's down and lampshade on your head?Which, in an odd coincidence, is the Peter B Lewis building, former chairman/CEO of my current company. We also interviewed him about it, and it made for an interesting ice breaker at work functions when I told them I was once in the former CEOs apartment and nearly broke one of his tables.

When the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle was being built (as the Experience Music Project), an urban legend started that the building was intended to look like a smashed guitar. Gehry fed that by saying he'd started by examining pictures of smashed Stratocasters. It even got written up by several columnists that way. The result, however, doesn't really resemble a smashed instrument. People just couldn't grok Gehry.

Nah. I don't recall how this little exercise sprang up, but it becomes an interesting cultural survey if the "rules" are followed. If we just went on name or face recognition, it wouldn't have much value. There are things to learn by seeing who and what actually resonates with people enough that names stick to faces and faces to names and people to accomplishments in our memories.Exactly right.Today’s Birthdays:

Thought about giving numbers on names you know in addition to faces you'd recognize, but figure that's getting too complicated.

played a nice 18 this morning/afternoon. not being too familiar with the course didn't help my score but I managed to hit the ball well. if I knew the layout a little better I may have saved quite a few strokes, not counting a ball in the water and one way out of bounds.

Top three is tough. As I said earlier Lost and Found and Lost and Found Pard Deux are very enjoyable (although technically not Room 101 as they are a collaboration.This Hit and Run is a solid...as are the Part Deux.What are your top 3 Room 101? I'll be honest I don't know one from the other.
From Room 101, I really like all three of the Master Collection, Room 101 Connecticut, Namakubi which are all retired.
For those currently available, Farce (not Connecticut or Lonsdale) and The T (not the Connecticut versions) Breakfast in Portugal is my favorite of what I nicknamed the cartoon series (made for folks like CI)
