Fine Then...
I checked the blog today (after receiving Paul's email promising his phone number if we posted something) and was surprised to see that someone had responded to one of Paul's posts. But it turned out to just be someone trying to sucker Paul into buying one of their products. I knew better than to think you guys would have succombed to his bullying. Well, I am finally posting something, mainly to get Paul off my back. Today, Labor Day, was an interesting day in history:
Of interest to Paul:
3114 B.C.E. - From this day was reckoned the Mayan Long Count end-of-the-world date: December 21, 2012. Happy 33rd birthday to my sister Suzanne. I figure this is a win-win for everyone but Paul. If the world does end here, we don't have to listen to Paul gloat about how he tried to remind us that it was coming. And if it doesn't end here, we can finally convince Paul to quit being such a doomsayer.
Of interest to the Lukes:
1957 - Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" was published.
And, the first Labor Day parade was held on this day in 1882; it was started by a union leader. There was a parade here in Urbana consisting of about 40 unions, 3 marching bands, and as usual, the pesky Shriners. The way I see it, if the union workers are going to go marching around on their day off, they might as well not get the day off next year.
And for Luke F.:
2001 - Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants set a new mark for home runs in a single season, hitting his 71st and 72nd.
Well that's all for my first post. I'll put some pics of my apartment up soon. Oh, and I'm supposed to tell the story of how we took the honeymooners' bag. Well, I had set my bags by Jeff's back door, and Demmel decided to help me load them. Unfortunately Jeff plans ahead more than we do, and he had also placed a black bag by his back door that he planned on taking on his honeymoon because they were leaving early the next morning for a 6:00 a.m. flight. So Demmel loaded an extra bag that he thought was mine, and I thought it was his bag, and we got a phone call from a distressed Jeff about four hours later. Sorry about that Jeff. It should be back in Nebraska by now. Hopefully it didn't put too big of a damper on your honeymoon. Well, that's all for now. Peace.
