"Mars Attacks"

"Mars Attacks" - that's been the highlight of my day.

We went to exercise first thing this morning and, while we were in the gym sculpting our hard bodies, the wind picked up again. So, Betty wasn't able to work with Sugar on trailering as we had hoped.

So watching the movie "Mars Attacks" in the early afternoon was the most interesting thing I did so far.

We will meet with someone at church at 5:15 PM and, hopefully, that will redeem the day.

Maybe tomorrow will be more interesting. At least in the evening we're going to the NM Stampede Rodeo at the Star Center.

On this day in 1845 Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" was first published, in the New York "Evening Mirror." In 1861 Kansas became the 34th state of the Union as a free or non-slavery state at a time when Southern states were seceding from the Union. And in 1963 the first members of football's Hall of Fame were named in Canton, Ohio.
