Thought I was fighting some of my usual fall allergies the last few days, turns out to be a bit of a head cold. I think only the second time I've been sick since the before times.

Would very much enjoy taking the day off and laying around the house, but this is the last week they're offering OT for awhile, so I want to make sure I don't lose what I've already done.

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 2022.
There are 95 days left in the year.



Today's highlight

On Sept. 27, 1996, in Afghanistan, the Taliban, a band of former seminary students, drove the government of President Burhanuddin Rabbani out of Kabul, captured the capital and executed former leader Najibullah.

On this date

In 1779, John Adams was named by Congress to negotiate the Revolutionary War's peace terms with Britain.

In 1825, the first locomotive to haul a passenger train was operated by George Stephenson in England.

In 1854, the first great disaster involving an Atlantic Ocean passenger vessel occurred when the steamship SS Arctic sank off Newfoundland; of the more than 400 people on board, only 86 survived.

In 1928, the United States said it was recognizing the Nationalist Chinese government.


In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II.

In 1956, Olympic track and field gold medalist and Hall of Fame golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias died in Galveston, Texas, at age 45.

In 1964, the government publicly released the report of the Warren Commission, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy.

In 1979, Congress gave its final approval to forming the U.S. Department of Education.

In 1991, President George H.W. Bush announced in a nationally broadcast address that he was eliminating all U.S. battlefield nuclear weapons, and called on the Soviet Union to match the gesture.

In 1994, more than 350 Republican congressional candidates gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to sign the "Contract with America," a 10-point platform they pledged to enact if voters sent a GOP majority to the House.


In 1999, Sen. John McCain of Arizona officially opened his campaign for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, the same day former Vice President Dan Quayle dropped his White House bid.

In 2012, NFL referees returned to the field after a tentative deal with the league ended a lockout.

In 2013, President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke by telephone, the first conversation between American and Iranian leaders in more than 30 years.

In 2017, Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner died at the age of 91.

In 2018, during a day-long hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Christine Blasey Ford said she was "100 percent" certain that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when they were teenagers, and Kavanaugh then told senators that he was "100 percent certain" he had done no such thing.

In 2021, R&B superstar R. Kelly was convicted in a sex trafficking trial in New York, after decades of avoiding criminal responsibility for numerous allegations of misconduct with young women and children.

Good Evening Cigar Butts...   :)  I hope everyone is doing good.., and still smoking their favorite stoggie...  I ran across a pipe smoking website, and just wanted to bring it to your attention.  Please don't think I'm trying to recruit people.  I'm just a member and thought if anyone was interested, they might take a look see.  A college professor from Tennessee created a Facebook type website dedicated to Pipe Smoking.  But you do not need to be a smoker to enjoy the site.  There's pipe smokers, cigar smokers, non-smokers, religous people, drinking, and ect.  You can create a group of your interest, and talk about your interest.  An example is a group called, "Music."  And people post their favorite songs.  If your interested, you can look as a guest, or join. If you join, you need your name (or handle, 1st and last name or handel), and created a password.  Anyway, if anyone is interested, please stop by and see what you think.  It's pretty new at the moment.  It's called, "Pipe Cottage Social."  https://pipecottagesocial.com  Later All...!!!  Oh, if you check out the site, I use my real name Curt.
