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!

@bluecollar: I finally had a chance to look. I have mixed feelings. I always want to be loyal to the members of our team and I hate to lose anyone. But a shakeup was definitely necessary. Let's hope the new boys gel with the rest of the team and Cashman comes out looking like a genius.

Hopefully, the little one is clear, because she hasn't had a cleaning since the before times. We had appts December 2019 that we had to cancel because everyone got sick. Those were rescheduled for March 2020, which were canceled when everything closed down. Then she got vaxxed and we had appts in January, but our hygienist went on maternity leave.

Today is Tuesday, March 15, the 74th day of 2022.
There are 291 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 15, 44 B.C., Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of nobles that included Brutus and Cassius.

On this date:

In 1493, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus arrived back in the Spanish harbor of Palos de la Frontera, two months after concluding his first voyage to the Western Hemisphere.

In 1820, Maine became the 23rd state.

In 1917, Czar Nicholas II abdicated in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, who declined the crown, marking the end of imperial rule in Russia.

In 1919, members of the American Expeditionary Force from World War I convened in Paris for a three-day meeting to found the American Legion.

In 1944, during World War II, Allied bombers again raided German-held Monte Cassino.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson, addressing a joint session of Congress, called for new legislation to guarantee every American’s right to vote; the result was passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

In 1972, “The Godfather,” Francis Ford Coppola’s epic gangster movie based on the Mario Puzo novel and starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, premiered in New York.

In 1977, the situation comedy “Three’s Company,” starring John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers, premiered on ABC-TV.

In 2005, former WorldCom chief Bernard Ebbers was convicted in New York of engineering the largest corporate fraud in U.S. history. (He was later sentenced to 25 years in prison.)

In 2011, the Syrian civil war had its beginnings with Arab Spring protests across the region that turned into an armed insurgency and eventually became a full-blown conflict.

In 2019, a gunman killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, streaming the massacre live on Facebook. (Brenton Tarrant, an Australian white supremacist, was sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to 51 counts of murder and other charges.)

In 2020, the Federal Reserve took massive emergency action to help the economy withstand the coronavirus by slashing its benchmark interest rate to near zero and saying it would buy $700 billion in treasury and mortgage bonds. After initially trying to keep schools open, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the nation’s largest public school system would close in hopes of curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

Ten years ago: Convicted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY’-uh-vich) walked into a federal prison in Colorado, where the 55-year-old Democrat began serving a 14-year sentence for corruption. (He was released in February 2020 after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence.) The American campaign in Afghanistan suffered a double blow as the Taliban broke off talks with the U.S., and President Hamid Karzai said NATO should pull out of rural areas and speed up the transfer of security responsibilities to Afghan forces nationwide.

Five years ago: President Donald Trump, speaking in Ypsilanti, Michigan, announced that his administration would re-examine federal requirements governing the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks, moving forcefully against Obama-era environmental regulations that Trump said were stifling economic growth; Trump then flew to Nashville to lay a wreath at the tomb of President Andrew Jackson. For the second time, a federal court blocked Trump’s efforts to freeze immigration by refugees and citizens of some predominantly Muslim nations.

One year ago: A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 42% of Republicans said they probably or definitely would not be vaccinated against COVID, compared with 17% of Democrats. The Senate confirmed New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland as interior secretary, making her the first Native American to lead a Cabinet department. Academy Award nominees included two female directors for the first time, Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman” and Chloé Zhao (the eventual winner) for “Nomadland.” Actor Yaphet Kotto, whose films included “Midnight Run,” the James Bond movie “Live and Let Die” and “Alien,” died in the Philippines at 81.

Yesterday the annual disbursement from my great-grandmother's estate arrived, along with the tax documents.  So I could finally finish my taxes.  Thanks to the surge in natural gas prices, I got a whopping $167, and a nice little $48 business credit deduction.  Woo-hoo!  Thanks, grandma!   

But then I finished up, and the government owes me money.  Now, I HATE getting a tax refund, or more precisely, I hate loaning the government money interest-free.  So this pissed me off, and it took me two hours of going through everything repeatedly before I finally figured out there were no errors in my return.  It was the increased child tax-credit.

Once my blood pressure came back down, and I'd filed, I decided I deserved a treat.  So I bid on an auction for an old gun I want.

Like Raz said, you're better off owing a little come tax time.  The money you get back is yours anyway that the government has had and used over the year without paying you interest.

I suffer from OCD.

Cigars last maybe an hour, and Bourbon for a couple of bladder movements. Guns last a very long time, especially collectible ones that are increasing in value, like Smith & Wesson 686 revolvers from the 80's and 90s.

And without you being able to use it or earn any return on it.

But in this case, it's "stimulus." So I'm being a good citizen. I'm putting the money back into the economy, but doing so as investments in things that should hedge against inflation at least some - a collectible gun, and home improvements. ;-)

I am definitely going to have to update my W4s for next year, however.

Believe it or not, my old dental insurance used to prefer I went for cleanings four times a year. And since we had a great dentist in my office building, I would take advantage.

Putin has announced sanctions against Biden and others in response to their actions against Russia.
This means they are not allowed to enter the country....oh the travesty!

They threw in Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton to make their friends at FOX happy.

It's a bit stronger than I remember it. Lots of orange flavor on the retrohale and a super long finish. I really like the box press on this corona. The only negative I have is that the ash is falling off very easily.

It's about 60° out there so I'll be joining you shortly.
I found a Herrera Esteli Inktome in my humidor this morning and that's what I plan to smoke on the way home. I shall keep you all posted.
It's a bit stronger than I remember it. Lots of orange flavor on the retrohale and a super long finish. I really like the box press on this corona. The only negative I have is that the ash is falling off very easily.

A bit of a wonky burn but the flavors and draw are still okay.

Can't really explain it but there is an effervescent mouth feel with this cigar. In any case, the burn continuously corrects itself and that goes a long way with me. Currently burning passed the first band.

If I didn't know any better I would think this was a cigar related website.
