Major storms in the Northwest (Central Indiana).

No he was 40...

Also notice how they gave out the address of every person mentioned.
These days, to find out even the name of a principle party in a random news story, I find myself in Google Street View scoping out the house and its number, then finding the local deeds registrar's website, looking up the owner, and then doing some cross-checks (e.g., Twitter search) to find out more.
I remember the Kobe Bryant case. They weren't giving out the name of the accuser. But the OC Register interviewed the neighbors on each side. So, it was a matter of looking up the owner of the house in between, then searching the student directory at the accuser's school for someone with the same last name. Bingo!
You know the system pretty well.
I coulda sworn you were 29!
I had major surgery a few years ago, and the surgeon’s report was done on a cartoon like drawing with a couple of arrows and less than 20 words about what he did.
Wow! My recent back surgery had over 30 pages of notes!
Black Tom explosion in Jersey City was 100 year ago today. July 30, 1916. Germany terrorism (?) of munitions .
Thanks for the ping.
The 100 was a typo. It should have been 120. I am working my way through 1896. Still, I believe disaster in the forecast for today’s headlines.
I like the 100 years better - why 120?
(or do both!)
Include the date year in the title so I dont need to do the math in my head (just kidding- it just looks more impressive)
