The United States Armed Forces.

Born on this Day
1905 Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, delta blues singer and guitarist;
best known outside blues circles for writing songs later covered by Elvis Presley such as "That's All Right Mama" and
"My Baby Left Me"


On this Day in History
79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire


On this Day in History
1814 British forces under General Robert Ross
sacked Washington, DC, burning the Capitol and White House

On this Day in History
1989 Gambling Pete Rose was permanently suspended from
Major League Baseball for betting on the games


Don't forget the syrup!
PANCAKES next Wednesday
definitely, troops!

Oh, I feel better now, even with this pain (I have pain meds so if my spelling is off you know what to blame! LOL!) than I did all last night with that horrible toothache. It went all the way to the top of my head!

Man! I hope it cools off over there before this weekend! ;o) Just pleeeeeeeeeeze don't send it our way.

And, David gets home to.....another darn hurricane! Looks like cedar might be in for it again, too, if it follows the projected path.
