NJDave - to answer your question from last night, I find the TH's to be pretty decent, for the price. Can't remember exactly how much they were, but I'm sure it was sub-$3.

Yes sir. More pavement pounding today but I have the kids at home. They're off for Yom Kippur. This is a new one for our town. We have far more Muslims than Jewish people in this town. Baby steps, I guess. Last year there was state testing scheduled during Eid Al Fatr.

I started wondering if maybe I had some in the moochidor from leftover CF bundles, but I moved some stuff around down here several months ago when I added a new bookcase and I can't remember where I put the thing.

Today is Monday, Sept. 25, the 268th day of 2022.
There are 97 days left in the year.



Today's highlight

On Sept. 25, 1957, nine Black students who'd been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

On this date

In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean.

In 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. (Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.)

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colorado, during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles.

In 1956, the first trans-Atlantic telephone cable officially went into service with a three-way ceremonial call between New York, Ottawa and London.


In 1964, the sitcom "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.," starring Jim Nabors, premiered on CBS.

In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego.

In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

In 1992, NASA's Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the red planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993).

In 1994, Russian President Boris Yeltsin began a five-day swing through the United States, hoping to encourage American investment in his country's struggling economy.

In 2012, President Barack Obama, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, pledged U.S. support for Syrians trying to oust President Bashar Assad, calling him "a dictator who massacres his own people."

In 2013, skipper Jimmy Spithill and Oracle Team USA won the America's Cup with one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, speeding past Dean Barker and Emirates Team New Zealand in the winner-take-all Race 19 on San Francisco Bay.

In 2016, golf legend Arnold Palmer died at age 87.

In 2017, former congressman Anthony Weiner was sentenced to 21 months behind bars for illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl.

In 2018, Bill Cosby was sentenced to three-to-10 years in prison for drugging and molesting a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home. (After serving nearly three years, Cosby went free in June 2021 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction.)

In 2020, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lay in state at the U.S. Capitol, making history as the first woman so honored in the United States.

I wasn't really shopping, just marveling at the vast array of different blends and whatnot. But the Pirate's Gold caught my eye and I thought that was odd, cause I don't ever remember hearing that was under him. In fact, I went looking for confirmation, and CI doesn't even sell them anymore.
