Today is Sunday, Sept. 4, the 248th day of 2016. There are 118 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On Sept. 4, 1951, President Harry S. Truman addressed the nation from the Japanese peace treaty conference in San Francisco in the first live, coast-to-coast television broadcast.

On this date:

In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers under the leadership of Governor Felipe de Neve.

In 1886, a group of Apache Indians led by Geronimo (also known as Goyathlay, "One Who Yawns") surrendered to Gen. Nelson Miles at Skeleton Canyon in Arizona.

In 1888, George Eastman received a patent for his roll-film box camera, and registered his trademark: "Kodak."

In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital.

In 1948, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands abdicated after nearly six decades of rule for health reasons.

In 1957, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School in Little Rock. Ford Motor Co. began selling its ill-fated Edsel.

In 1963, a Swissair Caravelle III carrying 80 people crashed shortly after takeoff from Zurich, killing all on board.

In 1971, an Alaska Airlines jet crashed near Juneau, killing all 111 people on board.

In 1972, U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz won a seventh gold medal at the Munich Olympics in the 400-meter medley relay.

In 1984, Canada's Progressive Conservatives, led by Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO'-nee), won a landslide victory in general elections over the Liberal Party of Prime Minister John N. Turner and the New Democrats headed by Ed Broadbent.

In 1998, Internet services company Google filed for incorporation in California.

In 2014, comedian Joan Rivers died at a New York hospital at age 81, a week after going into cardiac arrest in a doctor's office during a routine medical procedure.

Ten years ago: "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, 44, died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest. Two U.S. warplanes accidentally strafed allied forces in southern Afghanistan, killing one Canadian soldier. A gunman opened fire on tourists in Amman, Jordan, killing a British man, Christopher Stokes (Nabeel Ahmed Issa al-Jaourah was later convicted and sentenced to death). The Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger jet, took off from Toulouse, France, with a full load of passengers for the first time.

Five years ago: Jerry Lewis was conspicuously absent from the Muscular Dystrophy Association's 46th annual Labor Day weekend telethon, having hosted the previous 45 broadcasts.

One year ago: Hosting Saudi Arabia's new monarch for the first time, President Barack Obama said the U.S. shared King Salman's desire for an inclusive, functioning government in Yemen; their talks also addressed the Iran nuclear deal, a source of lingering tension in the U.S.-Saudi relationship. Hundreds of migrants, exhausted after breaking away from police and marching for hours toward Western Europe, boarded buses provided by Hungary's government after Austria and Germany said they would let them in. Former child actress-turned-author Jean Darling died in Rodermark, Germany, at age 93.

September is:  National Bourbon Heritage Month

In 2007, Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky (bourbon’s birthplace) sponsored a bill proclaiming September National Bourbon Heritage Month, and the bill passed by unanimous consent. The designation calls for celebrating (responsibly, of course) bourbon as a uniquely native American spirit and the rich heritage and culture surrounding its production. 




What can you do to take part? You could, of course, enjoy a well-made bourbon cocktail. You could treat yourself to a top quality bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. Or you could head over to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, Kentucky, starting September 11, where you can experience and taste the rich history of American bourbon distillation in the state that produces 95 percent of the world’s bourbon.



Or you could work bourbon into your everyday home cooking for a festive change of pace. Bourbon works great in desserts, but it also adds complexity and flavor to savory dishes, where its taste—reminiscent of wood (oak and cedar), nuts (pecan and almonds), and spice (black pepper, tobacco, and cinnamon)—complements hearty dishes like grilled and roasted meats.

I cleaned up first.

My house is white limestone and it gets mildew on it when the weather is real wet like this spring and summer.  I was seeing if I should try to clean it or pay someone to do it.  Took 15 minutes to figure out the right answer - pay someone.

September is:  National Bourbon Heritage Month

In 2007, Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky (bourbon’s birthplace) sponsored a bill proclaiming September National Bourbon Heritage Month, and the bill passed by unanimous consent. The designation calls for celebrating (responsibly, of course) bourbon as a uniquely native American spirit and the rich heritage and culture surrounding its production. 




What can you do to take part? You could, of course, enjoy a well-made bourbon cocktail. You could treat yourself to a top quality bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. Or you could head over to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, Kentucky, starting September 11, where you can experience and taste the rich history of American bourbon distillation in the state that produces 95 percent of the world’s bourbon.



Or you could work bourbon into your everyday home cooking for a festive change of pace. Bourbon works great in desserts, but it also adds complexity and flavor to savory dishes, where its taste—reminiscent of wood (oak and cedar), nuts (pecan and almonds), and spice (black pepper, tobacco, and cinnamon)—complements hearty dishes like grilled and roasted meats. 


I have steak marinating. Perhaps I should throw some bourbon into the mix.
WTF? No bourbon. I could have sworn I had a bunch. Even an old bottle of Jack is missing. Do I need to start questioning the kids already? Or worse... Did I finish it all up and not realize?
The twins into the booze again?  Just like their old man.
That's what I'm starting to suspect. After all, they're almost 7.
Even I did not tap Pop's whiskey until I was 12.

I just got a very sweet video of my mom dancing at her Alzhiemer's home. They're having an end of summer party. Almost wouldn't mind if the boys were hittin' the hooch.
