Today in History:
1839 - 1st baseball game played in America. According to legend, Abner Doubleday, who later became a major name in book publishing, created the game we know as baseball. It happened in Cooperstown, NY which,what do you know, is the present home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. 1849 - Gas mask patented by Lewis Haslett, Louisville, Kentucky 1923 - Harry Houdini, while in a straitjacket, suspended 40 feet in the air, amazed a large and quite disbelieving audience as he freed himself of the constraints. 1935 - Senator Huey Long of Louisiana spoke continually for 15 hours in Senate's longest speech on record (150,000 words) I think my DIL can beat that. 1948 -"William Tell Overture" by Spike Jones peaks at #6 Bet I am one of the few here who remember him and know what his band sounded like 1965 - Sonny and Cher make their 1st TV appearance, "American Bandstand"

Good morning aLLyaLL, happy Saturday!!! I think I may sacrifice the sense of smell b/c I think it would not be as inconvenient as for the limited amount of time. The extra credit question sounds familiar, but I can't remember how I answered. I know I gave a good answer though. Tenni-shoes. There too many houses for me to count, I have moved a lot and no magic.
Happy Saturday Same to you

I made a winning bid in an online fundraising auction to help defray the cost of a liver transplant for a dear friend. My friend's liver transplant fund got a nice hefty donation as a result of my winning bid, and I got the *most incredible* piece of wearable art I have ever seen. Some time I'll try to post a photo here.
