We're supposed to hit a high of 68° today. I'll take it but still recognize that it's crazy. No worries though, the cold will be back soon.

Indeed, already moving through here today, bringing a bit of rain with it. In fact, I see a couple of snowflakes on the weather forecast for the rest of the month.

Still page 2 so I'm not late!

Today is Friday, Nov. 17, the 321st day of 2023.
There are 44 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Nov. 17, 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Austrian-born actor who had become one of America's biggest movie stars of the 1980s and '90s, was sworn in as the 38th governor of California.


On this date:

In 1800, Congress held its first session in the partially completed U.S. Capitol building.

In 1869, the Suez Canal opened in Egypt.

In 1917, French sculptor Auguste Rodin (roh-DAN’) died at age 77.

In 1947, President Harry S. Truman, in an address to a special session of Congress, called for emergency aid to Austria, Italy and France. (The aid was approved the following month.)

In 1969, the first round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the United States and the Soviet Union opened in Helsinki, Finland.

In 1973, President Richard Nixon told Associated Press managing editors in Orlando, Florida: “People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook.”

In 1979, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini (ah-yah-TOH’-lah hoh-MAY’-nee) ordered the release of 13 of the 66 American hostages being held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

In 1989, the Walt Disney animated feature “The Little Mermaid” opened in wide release.

In 1997, 62 people, most of them foreign tourists, were killed when militants opened fire at the Temple of Hatshepsut (haht-shehp-SOOT’) in Luxor, Egypt; the attackers were killed by police.

In 2002, Abba Eban (AH’-bah EE’-ban), the statesman who helped persuade the world to approve creation of Israel and dominated Israeli diplomacy for decades, died near Tel Aviv at age 87.

In 2012, a speeding train crashed into a bus carrying Egyptian children to their kindergarten, killing 48 children and three adults.

In 2013, Doris Lessing, an independent and often irascible author who won the Nobel Prize in 2007, died in London at age 94.

In 2018, Argentina’s navy announced that searchers had found a submarine that disappeared a year earlier with 44 crewmen aboard; the government said it would be unable to recover the vessel.

In 2020, President Donald Trump fired the nation’s top election security official, Christopher Krebs, who had refuted Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud and vouched for the integrity of the vote.

In 2022, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would not seek a leadership position in the new Congress, a pivotal realignment making way for a new generation of leaders after Democrats lost control of the House to Republicans in the midterm elections.

I was about to set up the fire pit in the backyard and inaugurate it with a cigar... But I'm exhausted. Been working on cleaning out the basement and have probably put in 50,000 steps bringing junk to the dumpster.

By the way, I bought the fire pit for the backyard about 3 years ago and it still has not been used once. Almost forgot I had it but found it while cleaning the basement.

Also made it one step closer in the new job game. The drug test and background check have been concluded. I'm expecting the official offer letter on Monday, which I'll have to sign and return. I'm guessing I'll be able to start on the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Well, if you use it before another 3 years pass, we'll call that a win.
