Thursday Protest

Today was another slow day. We went to the gym to exercise this morning and then nothing special the rest of the day. Betty and Molly are getting ready to drive down to the Bosque del Apache tomorrow to see the Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes. They'll leave about 3:15 AM to be able to see the morning lift off. Me, I plan to stay in bed and take care of the horses at a more human time. More about that tomorrow.

However, I did receive a picture of a global warming protest from a friend in Colorado. It's good to know that some are standing up against this hoax.

Scroll down to see the picture of these hundreds of stalwarts who are ready to stand tall.

Well done, faithful Global Warming protesters!


Today is February 19 and if today is your Birthday then you share your day with: Haylie Duff (actress, sister of Hillary), Justine Bateman (actress, sister on "Family Ties"), Jeff Daniels (actor, "Dumb and Dumber"), Margaux Hemmingway (actress, granddaughter of Ernest Hemmingway), Smokey Robinson (soul singer), Lee Marvin (actor, "Cat Ballou"), and Nicolas Copernicus (scientist).

On this day in 1800 Napoleon Bonaparte proclaims himself First Consul of the newly established French dictatorship. In 1856 the tintype camera was patented by Professor Hamilton L. Smith of Gambier, Ohio. In 1878 Thomas Edison patented the first gramophone. He secured patent No. 200,521. In 1881 Kansas became the first state to prohibit all alcoholic beverages. In 1913 the first "prize" was placed in a Cracker Jack box. In 1942 President Roosevelt signed an executive order giving the military the authority to relocate and intern Japanese-Americans. In 1968 the teachers in state of Florida went on strike in the first statewide teacher's strike in the United States. And in 1985 Cherry Coke was introduced by the Coca-Cola Company - but it was nothing like the real Cherry Cokes we used to get at the soda fountains back in the 1950's where they were made from scratch.
