Short list for today's history since Chip is vacationing and it is a memorable day for me: (May 11)
1) Would be my father's 101st birthday, smoked 50+ cigars a week and drank plenty of Old Taylor bourbon living to be a few months shy of 90.
2) Nations Oldest WW II Veteran, Richard Overton, is 109 today, smokes 12 cigars a day along with several shots of whiskey first one each day being in his coffee. and has smoked cigars since he was 18.
* On his 100th birthday the centtenarian was interviewed by a TV reporter. “Sir, Congratulations and Happy Centenary Birthday”. “Sir, are you able to go out and walk on your own? With a sarcastic smile the old man replied, “Well young man, I certainly can walk better today than what I could a hundred years ago”.
3) On this day in 1981 the great Reggae Singer Bob Marley died from cancer. Bob would be 70 today. Bob also smoked a lot but did not live a lengthy life. Guess marijuana is not as good for you as cigars and whiskey.
