In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.-bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a London-bound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.)

Ten years ago: The California State Legislature became the first legislative body in the nation to approve same-sex marriages, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger later vetoed the bill. President George W. Bush and Congress pledged to open separate investigations into the sluggish federal response to Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans' broken levees.
-
Five years ago: President Barack Obama rolled out a long-term jobs program that would have exceeded $50 billion to rebuild roads, railways and runways, and coupled it with a blunt campaign-season assault accusing Republicans of causing Americans' hard economic times. (The proposal ended up being blocked by Senate Republicans.)
-
One year ago: President Barack Obama, in an interview taped for NBC's "Meet the Press," said the surge of immigrant children entering the U.S. illegally had changed the politics surrounding the issue of immigration and led him to put off a pledge to use executive action that could have shielded millions of people from deportation. Witnesses in the Ukraine port city of Mariupol reported sustained explosions outside the city and a volunteer battalion of fighters said Grad rockets were fired at their positions little more than a day after a cease-fire between the government and Kremlin-backed separatists went into effect.

A priest friend of mine said the funeral Mass for his Dad on Thursday. In his homily, he said, Exactly 61 years ago today, my parents were married at this altar... his family had 4 generations of life intertwined with that parish. It was very touching.

Worms
-------------------------
A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his
5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor,
so he produced an experiment that involved a
glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms.
"Now, class, closely observe the worms," said
the professor while putting a worm into the water.
The worm in the water writhed about, happy
as a worm in water could be. He then put the
second worm into the whiskey. It curled up and
writhed about painfully, then quickly sank to
the bottom, dead as a doornail.
"Now, what lesson can we learn from this experiment?"
the professor asked.
Johnny, who naturally sits in back, raised
his hand and wisely, responded confidently, "Drink
whiskey and you won't get worms."

Morning (now afternoon), Chip. Had to get ready and go to noon Mass. Now hoping to continue packing and moving, maybe later have a good smoke.
I worked until about 9pm last night, then after getting a text from a friend, joined him and others at our K of C to watch ND beat Texas (incredible). One of the brothers there is a huge LSU fan and alumnus (MBA). He said the game was called because of a pending thunderstorm and was to be rescheduled ... Do you know when the game is going to be played? I'll check back later ... have to do more packing.
For the record, I had a very nice FdlA toro while watching the game last night, sipping draft Sam Adams lager.

My parish is having annual Fall Festival in 2 weeks. Friday night, Louisiana Shrimp boil (native LSU grad with many years experience is leading it), Zydeco band ... great time in past years, then the Padre, who is a master smoker, will have brisket, ribs and pulled pork with sides along with kids games, etc. on Saturday.
A team of men will be sipping bourbon, drinking beer (smoking cigars?) and tending the smoker over Friday night.

Do you know when the game is going to be played? I'll check back later ... have to do more packing.
For the record, I had a very nice FdlA toro while watching the game last night, sipping draft Sam Adams lager.
The LSU Game was cancelled not called after several hours of delay and will not be rescheduled.
Thanks, TR ... never heard of such a thing ... 'preciate it ... BBQ&tater tot casserole sounds awfully good.
My parish is having annual Fall Festival in 2 weeks. Friday night, Louisiana Shrimp boil (native LSU grad with many years experience is leading it), Zydeco band ... great time in past years, then the Padre, who is a master smoker, will have brisket, ribs and pulled pork with sides along with kids games, etc. on Saturday.
A team of men will be sipping bourbon, drinking beer (smoking cigars?) and tending the smoker over Friday night.
Quite the event. Had me going there for a second with the master smoker. Thought you were referring to cigar smoking till I got to the word brisket.

Well, you guys won't have to listen to me rattle my brain any more over a new car. We finally made up our minds to get a Honda Civic. At the last minute my wife said, "You always sit in the drivers seat, maybe you should sit in the passenger seat for when I drive." Little did I realize that the drivers seat goes up and down and when I was sitting in the Civic it was always down. Well, the passenger seat doesn't go up and down and is in a fixed position. When I went to get in, I had to contort myself to get in and out of the car. Ooops... There goes the Civic. So we had to step up to the Accord which has more room. The worse part was the salesman explaining how the car works. I had to initial and sign off on each question... The questions seemed to have gone on for 1/2 an hour. Do you know if you press the station button on the radio and hold it in for 3 seconds it will beep and set the station to that button..? Aaaa, yes I knew that...! Well, initial here that I went over this with you. Would you know if your driving down the highway and the back-up camera shows your going in the other direction, would you realize some thing is wrong...? Godddd dang man, stop with the questions...! Well initial here. My wife actually had to give me two Advils at that point... 5 hours later, we finally got to leave. My wife said, "I'm too scared to drive it..!" Are you fricking crazy..??? You can't drive the truck... Get your damn ass in that thing and drive it..! My wife starts the car and in an excited voice she screams, "We got one with an air conditioner...!" I looked at her and said, "I hope the hell we bought one with an air conditioner..!" Oh well..!

I got a 10 pack of Unholy Cocktails in the mail the other day, so I'm happy. For some reason I seemed to have clicked pretty good with that cigar along with 3 or 4 fingers of whiskey.

Thanks... My wife really loves it. When we got it home I asked my wife, "Well, how do you like it...?" She said, "It's fast.." And again I said, "How to you like it..?" She says, "It's fast.." I said, "But HOW do you like it...???" She says, "Is it supposed to be that fast..?" It's not really that fast, but to her it is. And finally she said, "I love it.."

It's the things you don't think about when you set out to buy a car that windup deciding which one you drive off in. Nice car. Gonna appreciate the larger car. Oh, and what's for dinner?

Can't be expensive. Didn't have a fancy cigar band. Didn't want to take all your Gurkha's.

Good morning Sly.
Morning (now afternoon), Chip. Had to get ready and go to noon Mass. Now hoping to continue packing and moving, maybe later have a good smoke.

Quick drive-by ... Evening gents. CB, he's still a rather young man, but has a refined taste in cigars, whiskeys and firearms. Hunts and knows how to prepare and cook the aminals he gets. Smart, knowledgeable and a true believer who's able to communicate that faith.

BD, that's a beauty! Hope you got a good deal. It'll last a long time with proper care and avoiding collisions with walls, fire hydrants, power poles and other vehicles. Plus it will retain much of its value.

Eldest son of long time family friends moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music ... one of his gigs was touring with Tanya Tucker for many years as a member of her band. He started out as a guitarist, but learned fiddle, mandolin and banjo in order be more versatile. Most recent years, he's been a member of Michelle Wright's band (out of Nashville, but the Canadian is real popular in her native country).

How was the BBQ Mayor?
It was really good. Chicken, filet mignon, sausage, more chicken, grilled corn, watermelon, dessert, good coffee. I wish I had some leftovers right about now.

Kids are in bed here. Now just waiting for the wife to start snoring and I'll head out for a smoke. I have to pretend to want to hang out with her for a bit since it's our anniversary.

Another exciting anniversary? Stephania doesn't snore - she told me she doesn't not to be confused with what I actually hear. Must be hearing things.
