Today is Sunday, July 3, the 185th day of 2016. There are 181 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 3, 1976, Israel launched its daring mission to rescue 106 passengers and Air France crew members being held at Entebbe Airport in Uganda by pro-Palestinian hijackers; the commandos succeeded in rescuing all but four of the hostages.
On this date:
In 1775, Gen. George Washington took command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In 1863, the three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops failed to breach Union positions during an assault known as Pickett’s Charge.
In 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state of the Union.
In 1913, during a 50th anniversary reunion at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Civil War veterans re-enacted Pickett’s Charge, which ended with embraces and handshakes between the former enemies.
In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt marked the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg by dedicating the Eternal Light Peace Memorial.
In 1944, during World War II, Soviet forces recaptured Minsk from the Germans.
In 1950, the first carrier strikes of the Korean War took place as the USS Valley Forge and the HMS Triumph sent fighter planes against North Korean targets.
In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle signed an agreement recognizing Algeria as an independent state after 132 years of French rule.
In 1971, singer Jim Morrison of The Doors died in Paris at age 27.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan presided over a gala ceremony in New York Harbor that saw the relighting of the renovated Statue of Liberty. Singer-actor Rudy Vallee died at his North Hollywood home at age 84.
In 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iran Air jetliner over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard.
In 1996, Russians went to the polls to re-elect Boris Yeltsin president over his Communist challenger, Gennady Zyuganov, in a runoff. A blaze destroyed a fireworks store in Scottown, Ohio, filled with Fourth of July shoppers, killing nine people and injuring eleven.
Ten years ago: Former U.S. Army Pfc. Steven D. Green was charged in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina, with raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, and killing her, her parents and sister. (Green was convicted of murder and rape, and was sentenced to five life terms; he committed suicide in prison in 2014.) A subway train derailed in Valencia, Spain, killing 43 people. Annika Sorenstam ended ten years of frustration by winning the U.S. Women’s Open, her tenth major championship.
Five years ago: A chartered fishing boat, the Erik, sank in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, leaving one Northern California man dead and seven missing. Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of Thailand’s fugitive former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, led his loyalists to a landslide election victory, a stunning rout of the military-backed government that had crushed protests by his supporters. Novak Djokovic won his first Wimbledon, beating defending champion Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.
One year ago: The Solar Impulse 2, a plane powered by the sun’s rays, landed in Hawaii after pilot Andre Borschberg made a record-breaking five-day journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan.

Pretty nasty and on both coasts too but must prefer the year round warm climates.
Does not look like guacamole to me though, looks more like that green chit the lefty juicers walk around drinking.

Chores done here, too, though I need to wait another hour for the shade to grow over the pool before it's float & smoke time.

In the pool with a MF from the sampler box. The stick with the cedar sleeve. Very nice. First cigar from that box, forgot I had it.
