Same. I think I had an Aging Room once or twice, but don't remember it enough to rate it, so that tells me all I need to know.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2025
with 335 to follow.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Uranus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Venus.

On this date in history:


In 1649, British King Charles I was beheaded by order of Parliament.

In 1798, the first fight to break out on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives began when one congressman spat in another's face.

In 1835, a gunman fired twice on Andrew Jackson, the first attempt on the life of a U.S. president. Jackson wasn't injured.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was sworn in as chancellor of Germany.

In 1943, the British air force bombed Berlin in a daylight raid timed to coincide with a speech by Herman Goering marking Adolf Hitler's 10th year in power.

In 1948, Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu extremist.

In 1968, Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army forces launched a massive attack, known as the Tet Offensive, against South Vietnam, the United States, and their allies.

In 1969, the Beatles staged an impromptu concert on the roof of Apple Records in London. The event, which became part of the documentary film Let It Be, was the last public appearance by the band.

In 1972, in what became known as "Bloody Sunday," 13 Roman Catholics were killed by British troops during a banned civil rights march in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. A 14th person died from injuries several months later.

In 1979, the Iranian government announced it would let Shiite Muslim leader Ayatollah Khomeini return from exile. Washington responded by ordering the evacuation of all U.S. dependents from Iran.

In 1993, parents donated portions of their own lungs to their daughter with cystic fibrosis in a pioneering transplant surgery in Los Angeles.

In 2000, Kenya Airways Flight 431 crashed into the sea off the coast of Côte d'Ivoire, killing 169 people. Ten people survived.

In 2003, a U.S. judge sentenced Richard Reid to life in prison for trying to set off plastic explosives in his shoes on a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001.

In 2011, international aid groups said red tape and corruption in Haiti were withholding a massive array of supplies a year after a catastrophic earthquake struck the country.

In 2020, World Health Organization officials declared the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak -- later to be dubbed COVID-19 -- a public health emergency of international concern.

In 2024, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of willfully leaking sensitive classified information. He was already serving a three-year sentence on corruption charges.

I was looking through last year's tax forms to figure out if the wife's W2 was mailed to us or if we had to log in and print it. While flipping through, I noticed the 1095 form regarding health insurance was in there and it made me realize I hadn't gotten it yet. That EXACT SAME minute, I got an email that it was ready to be printed. I'm gonna go out on a limb and call that the coinkydink of the day.

Quote from one of the news outlets about the aviation crash near DC: 

"The crash may have implications for markets, though that appeared to be contained. Shares of American Airlines fell 1.6% in early trading. Shares of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines also fell, although Southwest Airlines stock was rising after the carrier reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings."

Oh, good.  We're good here!  No cause for alarm!  We're okay!
