Today is Monday, Jan. 15, the 15th day of 2024.
There are 351 days left in the year. This is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Jan. 15, 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta.


On this date:

In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1892, the original rules of basketball, devised by James Naismith, were published for the first time in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the game originated.

In 1919, in Boston, a tank containing an estimated 2.3 million gallons of molasses burst, sending the dark syrup coursing through the city’s North End, killing 21 people.

In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of War (now Defense).

In 1967, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League 35-10 in the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, known retroactively as Super Bowl I.

In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the suspension of all U.S. offensive action in North Vietnam, citing progress in peace negotiations.

In 1974, the sitcom “Happy Days” premiered on ABC-TV.

In 1978, two students at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman, were slain in their sorority house. (Ted Bundy was later convicted of the crime and was sentenced to death. But he was executed for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl, which occurred 3 weeks after the sorority slayings.)

In 1981, the police drama series “Hill Street Blues” premiered on NBC.

In 1989, NATO, the Warsaw Pact and 12 other European countries adopted a human rights and security agreement in Vienna, Austria.

In 1993, a historic disarmament ceremony ended in Paris with the last of 125 countries signing a treaty banning chemical weapons.

In 2009, US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger put his Airbus 320 down in the Hudson River after a flock of birds disabled both engines; all 155 people aboard survived.

In 2018, singer Dolores O’Riordan of the Irish rock band The Cranberries died at a London hotel at the age of 46; a coroner found that she had accidentally drowned in a bathtub after drinking.

In 2019, Musical comedy star Carol Channing -- best known to Broadway audiences for her role in “Hello, Dolly!” — died in California at age 97.

In 2023, a plane making a 27-minute flight to a Nepal tourist town crashed into a gorge while attempting to land at a newly opened airport, killing all 72 people aboard.

No, she's not a big fan.  I'm moderate...mostly different rolls.  Not a big fan of sashimi or like a tuna steak tartare.  I need to have that tuna steak white, not pink jello.

I've heard of that when the line is too close to the exterior wall. You might want to let it drip slowly so that the water is always moving and therefore, less likely to freeze.

Yeah, it's happened here before. Didn't at all last year, but I don't think it ever got into the single digits for this long last year. I usually keep one of the cupboard doors underneath the sink open to let warm air in, but someone always comes behind me and closes it. Ironic, since none of them can close a door or turn off a light at any other time. Lol

I think the refs let the fumble call stand because they didn't want to admit being wrong twice in the first quarter.

Can't argue with that. Wasted a 10-1 start to the season.
