Today is Thursday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2023.
There are 346 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
In 1953, CBS-TV aired the widely watched episode of “I Love Lucy” in which Lucy Ricardo, played by Lucille Ball, gave birth to Little Ricky. (By coincidence, Ball gave birth the same day to her son, Desi Arnaz Jr.)
On this date:
In 1853, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Il Trovatore” premiered in Rome.
In 1915, Germany carried out its first air raid on Britain during World War I as a pair of Zeppelins dropped bombs onto Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn in England.
In 1942, during World War II, Japanese forces captured the British protectorate of North Borneo. A German submarine sank the Canadian liner RMS Lady Hawkins off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, killing 251 people; 71 survived.
In 1944, the federal government relinquished control of the nation’s railroads to their owners following settlement of a wage dispute.
In 1966, Indira Gandhi was chosen to be prime minister of India by the National Congress party.
In 1987, Guy Hunt became Alabama’s first Republican governor since 1874 as he was sworn into office, succeeding George C. Wallace.
In 2005, the American Cancer Society reported that cancer had passed heart disease as the top killer of Americans age 85 and younger.
In 2009, Russia and Ukraine signed a deal restoring natural gas shipments to Ukraine and paving the way for an end to the nearly two-week cutoff of most Russian gas to a freezing Europe.
In 2012, Rupert Murdoch’s media empire apologized and agreed to cash payouts to 37 people who’d been harassed and phone-hacked by its tabloid press.

Ten years ago: Thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully at state capitals around the U.S. to rally against stricter limits on firearms. Minister Greg Griego, his wife, Sara, and three of their children were shot to death in their home near Albuquerque, N.M.; the couple’s teenage son, Nehemiah, is charged with murder. Death claimed baseball Hall-of-Famers Stan Musial at age 92 and Earl Weaver at age 82.
Five years ago: Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman joined dozens of other women and girls in confronting her former doctor, Larry Nassar, at his sentencing hearing for multiple sexual assaults; she warned him that the testimony of the “powerful army” of survivors would haunt him in prison. Amazon announced that it was raising the monthly price of its Prime membership plan by nearly 20%, to $12.99. (The fee for an annual membership would also rise 20% a few months later, to $119 a year.)
One year ago: Voting legislation that Democrats and civil rights leaders said was vital to protecting democracy collapsed after two Democratic senators refused to join their own party in changing Senate rules to overcome a Republican filibuster; the measure would have ensured access to early voting and mail-in ballots, and would have enabled the Justice Department to intervene in states with a history of voter interference. In a rebuff to former President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court allowed the release of presidential documents sought by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. The NCAA adopted a sport-by-sport approach for transgender athletes, bringing the organization in line with the U.S. and International Olympic Committees.

I bid on a gun yesterday in an online auction. Buying guns at online auctions is usually not a good idea. There's an auction premium, and apparently there's a lot of stupid people out there who forget that. Then you've got tax, shipping, and transfer. So it's usually not worth bidding unless it's something unique and rare, and thus something you've saved and searched for.
This was unique. Not unique enough to pay more than the $650 I bid. I was immediately outbid. It sold for $820, which means someone really wanted to pay $200 over its market value. Not me.
I'd have liked to have the gun - a .454 Casull made by a small company in South Dakota that later sold out to Magnum Research. But not at a stupid price. I can get the MR version of it for that. Or a Ruger.

Up to 53 now, and the sun is out. Looks like the warmth was brought in on some wind, though.

Time to enjoy a bit of the sun while picking up the younger 2 from school. Oldest is already home, thanks to a jacked up midterm schedule the school uses. Hazzuh!

Pretty calm most of the day, but the back end of this front is coming through now. Wind picked up almost suddenly, already heard a few branches come down in the front yard. Power loss is looking like a possibility.

Although I would say from an attraction hierarchy, I would go face, eyes, personality. All else is a bonus.

Seems to have passed, but plugged in my phone to charge it up, just in case. Tomorrow will undoubtedly bring many branches scattered around the front yard. Tapatalk not working for me at the moment, having to use the web browser to post.

David Crosby dead at 81.
That's a shame. I remember back in college, a couple of us did a radio show that played on the university TV channel. At the end of our last show, just before a break, we set "Four Dead in Ohio" to play continuously (hindsight being what it is, admittedly, this was in very poor taste). About a week later, it was still running. I never did learn how long it actually ran for. Hopefully, someone turned it off at some point.

On the plus side, Tapatalk seems to be working now, albeit a bit slower than usual.

He definitely wasn't the picture of healthy living but I was always a fan. Thought we were gonna lose Neil Young about a decade ago and that made me very sad. RIP David.
