On this date, a date that will forever live in infamy, especially in days like these, it will always be the December 6ths and September 10ths that will keep me up at night.

It is always good to get the facts “ beyond the facts” with an “ Oh I did not know that” energy.
Case in point:
Most know DiMaggio had a 56 game hitting streak. But once it ended he immediately went on a 17 game hitting streak.
72 out of 73. More amazing huh?

SHALOM.....Peace for this Sabbath as we seem on the verge of armed conflict with Venezuela, no less.
Secretary of State John Hay stated (1898) as the Spanish-American War was concluding, it was "a splendid little war, begun with the highest motives..."
This seems far less.

Remembering my all-time music idol on this, the 24th anniversary of his passing.
"...I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
'Cause I'm sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps..."🎶

I can name these two Cap'n Crunch characters from back in the day.......Carlyle and Dave.
My grandkids look at me oddly while their parents beg me not to feed them Cap'n Crunch.
But the truth is...I am old...
(And to quote Maxwell Smart..."And loving it!"

Sixty-two years ago, today. Has this country truly recovered from this? Something eroded in Dallas that that hasn't returned.
The longest gap between presidential assassinations was from McKinley in Sep 1901 until JFK's murder.
That will be surpassed on 6 February 2026.

Historians to this day have varying opinions of Adams, granted… many names can emerge… propagandist, perhaps. but chickenhawk?
Pauline Maier wrote an interesting piece some 50 years ago. Not much about him being a chicken hawk.
That’s a new one. Again, can it be because I labeled Trump as one?
