I spotted this truck on the way to our school’s fall festival. I couldn’t decide if he lives such a blessed life he can’t find anything to gripe about so he decided to focus all his attention and energy on one cause or he’s ignored in life so much he’s willing to do anything for attention. What’s he going to do if he spots someone going below the speed limit? How will he enforce it? Call the cops? Post a video online? Citizen’s arrest?
In case you are wondering, here’s the first part of the referenced code: Sec. 545.363 Minimum Speed Regulations (a)An operator may not drive so slowly as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.
A projector was used at a public gathering I recently attended. I arrived early and saw the audio/video person verifying the presentation was ready to go and set up directly. Then, I witnessed her open up the web browser which immediately opened Bing.com. In that search engine, she typed “Google” and clicked on the first result. On Google’s homepage, she searched for “gmail” and then clicked on the first search result. Bless her heart.
The first murder trial in the United States for which there is a recorded transcript was the Manhattan Well Murder trial of 1800. Levi Weeks was acquitted of the murder and the jury only deliberated for five minutes. His legal team consisted of three lawyers, two of which were Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. The other one was Henry Brockholst Livingston who later served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
At age 77, Aaron Burr married Eliza Jumel, a wealthy widow who was 19 years younger. She separated from Burr after four months of marriage. For her divorce lawyer, she chose Alexander Hamilton Jr., and the divorce was officially completed on September 14, 1836, coincidentally the day of Burr’s death.
Aaron Burr’s father was the second president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). His maternal grandfather was Jonathan Edwards (Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God) and lived with him after he was orphaned at the age of two. Edwards was the third president of Princeton University.
I just signed up for another three years of website hosting, so you’ll probably have me around for at least that long.
BoyGeeding’s protective cup arrived in the mail yesterday. I opened the package and just left it on the counter and ran some errands. When I got back DaughterGeeding was breathing into it and playing with her brother, she innocently thought it was a breathing mask.
The Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team has only had eight head coaches. All of them have had a winning record except for one. That one coach was their first coach, Dr. James Naismith, the man who literally invented the game.
McLaren, the manufacturer of some of the world’s fastest and most expensive sports cars, will relocate its North American headquarters from a Manhattan skyscraper to a high-tech industrial park in Coppell, where the British company plans to accelerate into its next phase of growth in the U.S. market.
The first thing Google stresses is that while this feature resembles stories that you’ll see on social media sites, these images are your personal media, presented privately.
As of today, you’ll be able to order 4″ x 6″ prints and pick them up the same day at Walmart and CVS locations around the US. Prints start at 25 cents apiece, and it’s not clear yet if there’s a discount depending on how much you order.
The move could be a boon for local news outlets (and others) who invest time, effort and resources to report stories before national publications or networks catch wind of them. Often when a larger organization follows up with their own report, that version can scoop up as much or even more traffic than the original story.
T. Boone Pickens died yesterday. Ross Perot died a few months ago. I wonder how many other Dallas billionaires will die this year.
Yesterday I kept seeing the misleading fact that T. Boone Pickens was the first baby born in Oklahoma via Caesarean section. In actuality, he was the first in the history of the Holdenville hospital.
I haven’t seen Donald Rumsfeld in a while but he attended a 9/11 memorial event yesterday. He’s 87 and is supposed to age, he’s human, but I was still surprised at how much he’s aged since I’ve last seen him.
Yesterday, my kindergarten-teaching wife spoke to her class about September 11, 2001. One student asked, “What color was the hijacker?”
How the heck is this kid okay? That backpack had to absorb most of the energy and he was probably able to get up so quickly because of a shot of adrenaline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62iPFic5yZo
My high school pep-rally assemblies were never this cool or epic.
