Good morning Tony. Door #2 is what you say after you have purchased 20 and have just lit your first one. Puck

I am going to buy an indoor antenna this weekend and see what channels I get. Preferably and indoor one. I guess I will start my shopping at Best buy.

Agreed. But Door#3 is actually tempting. I've not had the barber pole but I recall the Mark Twain being a decent everyday cigar. My issue is that I don't smoke every day.

Today is Thursday, March 10, the 69th day of 2022.
There are 296 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 10, 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death.

On this date:

In 1496, Christopher Columbus concluded his second visit to the Western Hemisphere as he left Hispaniola for Spain.

In 1785, Thomas Jefferson was appointed America’s minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin.

In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln assigned Ulysses S. Grant, who had just received his commission as lieutenant-general, to the command of the Armies of the United States.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experimental telephone: “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you” from the next room of Bell’s Boston laboratory.

In 1906, about 1,100 miners in northern France were killed by a coal-dust explosion.

In 1913, former slave, abolitionist and Underground Railroad “conductor” Harriet Tubman died in Auburn, New York; she was in her 90s.

In 1965, Neil Simon’s play “The Odd Couple,” starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney, opened on Broadway.

In 1985, Konstantin U. Chernenko, who was the Soviet Union’s leader for 13 months, died at age 73; he was succeeded by Mikhail Gorbachev.

In 1988, pop singer Andy Gibb died in Oxford, England, at age 30 of heart inflammation.

In 2015, breaking her silence in the face of a growing controversy over her use of a private email address and server, Hillary Rodham Clinton conceded that she should have used government email as secretary of state but insisted she had not violated any federal laws or Obama administration rules.

In 2019, a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after taking off from the capital, Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board; the crash was similar to one in October 2018 in which a 737 Max 8 flown by Indonesia’s Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on the plane. (The aircraft would be grounded worldwide after the two disasters, bringing fierce criticism to Boeing over the design and rollout of the jetliner.)

In 2020, clusters of the coronavirus swelled on both U.S. coasts, with more than 70 cases linked to a biotech conference in Boston and infections turning up at 10 nursing homes in the Seattle area. Members of a choir in Washington state gathered for a rehearsal that was later found to have been a superspreader event; disease trackers said a choir member with coronavirus symptoms attended, and 52 of the 60 others who were there got sick with confirmed or probable COVID-19, including two who died. (Experts said the public health investigation that followed was key in concluding that the virus was spreading through the air.)

Ten years ago: Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses in a rout and Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney countered in Wyoming. Israel pounded Gaza for a second day, trading airstrikes and rocket fire with Palestinian militants, killing 15 of them. F. Sherwood Rowland, 84, the Nobel prize-winning chemist who sounded the alarm on the thinning of the Earth’s ozone layer, died in Corona del Mar, California.

Five years ago: President Donald Trump chose Scott Gottlieb, a conservative doctor-turned-pundit with deep ties to Wall Street and the pharmaceutical industry, to lead the Food and Drug Administration. Two girls, ages 10 and 3, were killed in a fire in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, blamed on an exploding hoverboard; a firefighter died in a traffic accident en route to the blaze. South Korea’s Constitutional Court formally removed impeached President Park Geun-hye from office over a corruption scandal.

One year ago: The House gave final congressional approval to a landmark $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill; Republicans in both chambers opposed the measure unanimously, describing it as bloated and crammed with liberal policies. The Senate confirmed Merrick Garland to be U.S. attorney general with a strong bipartisan vote; senators also confirmed longtime Ohio lawmaker Marcia Fudge as housing secretary.

Dave, do you have an indoor antenna?
Yes sir. In fact, I have 2, one for the living room tv, one for the man cave tv. Though, I suppose you could argue semantics about whether the man cave one is indoors or not.
Thank you. I am going to browse Best buy in the next couple days. I need to cut back on some expenses and I can save a lot buy ditching Cable

Brown box from the Place out for delivery. This is what I ended up going with, all 5ers:

Gilberto Oliva Reserva Blanc Corona
JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto
San Lotano Connecticut Toro
would like to hear your thoughts on those coronas when you get to them.
The Olivia reserva Blanc are excellent cigars. A touch milder than the Connecticut Reserve but great in their own right.
Sounds good. I was trying to go for stuff I've never had before, and these 3 fit the bill.
You will love the San Lotano Connecticut too. I am sure Clemson Dave would agree on the SL
I am certainly a fan. I especially like it in the toro.

Okay, maybe that's an outlier, but even if I hadn't been a fan of hers and the New Bohemians before MTV broke them huge, I'd have known her as Paul Simon's wife.  As for Dean Torrence, anyone who's waxed as grandiloquent as I about Brian Wilson is going to know Jan and Dean.

Then there's Shannon Tweed, and any man who was in high school in the 80's is going to know Shannon Tweed from her Playboy centerfold.  Ditto for Sharon Stone.

Crap.  Is that really 20?
Setting the curve, as usual.
I'm starting to wonder if this is symptomatic of a deeper problem. 

I mean, once you know who the guitar players are, you know I'm going to get most of them, right?  Norman Blake, Tom Sholz, Ronnie Earl.  And I'm a musician, and I have had deep ties to Seattle since middle school, so Jeff Ament.  And the greatest living producer, the guy who did a limited series with Paul McCartney - Rick Rubin?  That one's pretty obvious.  Edie Brickell? Okay, maybe that's an outlier, but even if I hadn't been a fan of hers and the New Bohemians before MTV broke them huge, I'd have known her as Paul Simon's wife.  As for Dean Torrence, anyone who's waxed as grandiloquent as I about Brian Wilson is going to know Jan and Dean.

Then there's Shannon Tweed, and any man who was in high school in the 80's is going to know Shannon Tweed from her Playboy centerfold.  Ditto for Sharon Stone. 

We won't even mention Chuck Norris. 

Or maybe I'm some sort of weirdo.  I dunno.
You sometimes throw me off with your musician knowledge.   Some days you know everyone listed, some you miss folks that I know.  Musicians are the reason for your higher target.

You sometimes throw me off with your musician knowledge.   Some days you know everyone listed, some you miss folks that I know.  Musicians are the reason for your higher target.

Well, partly it's the rules. There have been a bunch of musicians I've had to pass on, despite the fact I know and in many cases have their work, but for whatever reason I don't know what they look like so I couldn't pick them out of a lineup. Or I know the band, but not the members. I'm a fan of the Jayhawks, but don't know the names or faces of the members, so I couldn't identify Gary Louris. I know Jerry Horton is the guitarist for Papa Roach, but I have no idea what he looks like. So it can be hit and miss.

Also, any artists from the past twenty years that are famous enough to make the list I'm probably not going to know. Carrie Underwood was a fluke, because I saw her and Taylor Swift open a show for Brad Paisley years ago (and at the time, Carrie Underwood was the more famous of the two).  But the new artists I listen to anymore are so far out of the mainstream that I doubt they'd make it onto your list.

Because I'm a church musician, I know a lot of the names of the CCM artists that make the list, and in many cases I've played and am intimately familiar with their songs. But I don't know their faces most of the time.

My holster guy opened his books for 15 orders yesterday.  So I ordered a new rig.  Charred chocolate rough-out with marbled tan trim in his Wings of Icarus pattern.  Cut for the Romeo 1 Pro red dot optic.  Matching double magazine carrier.  Matching belt.  Can't wait to get it.  Will be a few months, I'm sure.

I wasn't going to buy any more guns this year, but then I found an 80's-vintage Smith & Wesson 686, like the one I used to have, on an auction site.  Yes, I put a bid in.  It was a pretty high bid.  Didn't even last 2 hours before  I was outbid.   Bummer.
