Morning, boyos. Wife is still sick, so I'll be handling the shopping myself today. Plan is to get it done in time to be home for the Arsenal match at 3.

Should've slowed down and thought it through some more. Oh well.

Sheesh, hope one or more of your girls go into nursing. Can save a lot of money!

Real nice to have all our "distant" relatives drop in the banter yesterday. Would have been perfect if threebean and Fishy decided to say hi as well.

I recognized the voice right away but there were too many options.
Then, I accidentally pressed "skip" and took away one of my own guesses. That extra one wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

Works for me. Mine can even write scripts if needed!

Nurse practitioner is the way to go. But I'd never be able to do that job. I have much respect for those that can.

OK, page 2, now I can continue with the news.

Today is Monday, Dec. 26, the 360th day of 2022.
There are five days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 26, 2004, more than 230,000 people, mostly in southern Asia, were killed by a 100-foot-high tsunami triggered by a 9.1-magnitude earthquake beneath the Indian Ocean.
On this date:
In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”
In 1865, James H. Nason of Franklin, Massachusetts, received a patent for “an improved coffee percolator.”
In 1908, Jack Johnson became the first African-American boxer to win the world heavyweight championship as he defeated Canadian Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia.
In 1917, during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation authorizing the government to take over operation of the nation’s railroads.
In 1941, during World War II, Winston Churchill became the first British prime minister to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress.
In 1966, Kwanzaa was first celebrated.
In 1980, Iranian television footage was broadcast in the United States showing a dozen of the American hostages sending messages to their families.
In 1990, Nancy Cruzan, the young woman in an irreversible vegetative state whose case led to a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the right to die, died at a Missouri hospital.
In 1994, French commandos stormed a hijacked Air France jetliner on the ground in Marseille, killing four Algerian hijackers and freeing 170 hostages.
In 1996, six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. (To date, the slaying remains unsolved.)
In 2003, an earthquake struck the historic Iranian city of Bam, killing at least 26,000 people.
In 2006, former President Gerald R. Ford died in Rancho Mirage, California, at age 93.

Ten years ago: Toyota Motor Corp. said it had reached a settlement worth more than $1 billion in a case involving unintended acceleration problems in its vehicles. Soul singer Fontella Bass, 72, died in St. Louis.
Five years ago: The snowfall total from a storm that began on Christmas Day reached 53 inches in Erie, Pennsylvania - the biggest-ever two-day total in the state’s history. The cities of New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia sued the Defense Department, charging that the military failed to properly use the national background check system for guns; the lawsuit said the failure to report criminal records of service members had allowed a former member of the Air Force to kill more than two dozen people at a Texas church in November. Voters in Liberia went to the polls for a runoff election that saw former soccer star George Weah elected as the African country’s new president.
One year ago: South African Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu died at 90; the retired archbishop had been an uncompromising foe of apartheid and a modern-day activist for racial justice and LGBT rights. A major Christmas weekend storm caused whiteout conditions and closed key highways amid blowing snow in mountains of Northern California and Nevada.

I can picture the America's Most Wanted guy but only because they gave us all that info. Never would have gotten it based on his name and if they just said he was a TV host. So obviously, I couldn't count that. Definitely knew some of the ball players names, but not pick them out of a lineup. So I'll say, final answer is four.

No thanks. I ate already.

I've had 13 of the 25 Cigar Aficionado cigars for this year, three in the top 10.
Maybe a few more than in past years.

Well, really not fair to judge cigars that I haven't had. Also doesn't do much good including Cuban cigars...
Oliva V are always good, My Father and Padron '64.
Good to see EPC Pledge and New World Dorado and Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich, which I like a lot.
Found it interesting the number of "old standards" that were included like Brick House, San Cristobal, Casa Magna and LGC.

I rarely agree with these lists.

Pushed through to street. I have been moving snow for 2 days. No plow was by all storm just a front loader making a center swipe. I can get out in the morning if the plow doesn't bury me
Relax and go to bed smoke(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221227/3507fbb97ac0a7bb695877ef4910d5fa.jpg)

Find this list much worse...

Slightly more interesting list, but not particularly comprehensive:

Haven't had most of these, but a more interesting list in any case:

His list isn't finished, but I tend to agree more with Cigar Coop:

It's strange that they include older cigars. It would be like the Oscars nominating a movie from a decade ago.
