Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars. Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Tony, if you still have to do Elf on the Shelf, may I offer this as an alternative?

EDIT: Never mind, Tapatalk is giving me the business this morning.

I had to do a quick Walmart run this morning because there was no bread or cold cuts to make sandwiches. Finally got everyone out of the house. What did I miss?

Not a whole heap. Didn't even have a bot drop by.

I had to get blood work done yesterday, so I needed to fast. Unfortunately, I got busy and never had breakfast. I was allowed to eat until 9:30 since my appointment was at 3:30. After my appointment, I had a bunch of running around to do. My first and only meal of the day was at 7:30 pm. I'll need to make up for that today.

Well, technically they're not. Alec & Bradley, run by the sons, is a separate entity from Alec Bradley run by the dad. Kinda like the deal over at My Father.

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 18, the 322nd day of 2025
with 43 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus.
On this date in history:
In 1883, the United States adopted Standard Time and set up four zones -- Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific.
In 1928, Mickey Mouse appeared for the first time, with Walt Disney doing the voice of his soon-to-be-famous creation, in Steamboat Willie, the first fully synchronized sound cartoon produced. The beloved character's birthday is regularly celebrated at Disneyland and Disney World.
In 1936, the fascist governments of Germany and Italy recognized rebel Gen. Francisco Franco as leader of Spain amid the Spanish Civil War. Franco ruled the country until he died in 1975.
In 1961, wary of ordering a full-scale deployment of troops, President John F. Kennedy sent 18,000 military advisers to South Vietnam.
In 1963, push-button telephones made their debut.
In 1978, more than 900 people died in a mass suicide-murder led by the Rev. Jim Jones at the People's Temple commune in Guyana following the slaying of U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan, D-Calif. It was the worst tragedy of its kind in modern history.
In 1987, a fire under a wooden escalator in London's King's Cross subway station killed 30 people and injured dozens others. Debris under the escalator caused the blaze.
In 1991, the Lebanese Shiite Muslim faction Islamic Jihad freed Church of England envoy Terry Waite and U.S. professor Thomas Sutherland. Waite had been held for nearly five years, Sutherland for more than six.
In 1999, 12 people died in the collapse of the Aggie Bonfire at Texas A&M University. It was a tradition at the school to construct the bonfire before A&M played Texas in football.
In 2004, Britain outlawed fox hunting in England and Wales.
In 2019, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States will no longer consider Israeli settlements in the West Bank a violation of international law.
In 2021, a New York judge granted exonerations for Muhammad A. Aziz and Khalil Islam, two men wrongfully convicted of killing civil rights leader Malcom X in 1965.

Thinking about the birthdays...it's Elizabeth Perkins' birthday. For some reason, I frequently confuse Elizabeth Perkins and Mary-Louise Parker for each other. Dunno why. Even this morning, I had to stop and get it straight in my head, "Okay, Elizabeth Perkins is from 'Weeds', and Mary-Louise Parker is from 'The West Wing.'"
Comparing them, there is a vague resemblance, I guess. Like they could almost be sisters, maybe.
