Today's Question: When was the last time you used or wanted to use the phrase "I don't want to or won't be having this conversation again"? Every month or so, when people from one of my non-profit organizations pressure me into running for the highest office again. I served in that capacity once; let someone else do it now.
Bonus Question: Only 15 more days until Relay For Life!
Extra Credit Question: What was the last "tocsin" you gave or received? When we had a bad storm about a week and a half ago. They had the emergency warning on TV for some areas. My town was not hit as badly as others in the TV viewing area.

Today in History: 1809 - Mary Kies is 1st woman issued a U.S. patent (weaving straw) 1847 - American Medical Association organized (Philadelphia) 1891 - Music Hall (Carnegie Hall) opens in New York, Tchaikovsky as guest conductor 1900 - "The Billboard," a magazine for the music and entertainment industries, began weekly publication. The name was later shortened to "Billboard." 1923 - Firestone Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, OH began the first regular production of balloon tires. 1961 - Alan Shepard becomes 1st American in space (aboard Freedom 7) I remember watching it live on TV in the gym at my elementary school. It was so exciting!

Yesterday I asked: With regards to the 4-H,do you know what the 4 "H's" stand for ?
In 1908 the clover emblem was designed, at first it was a three-leaf clover and the H's stood for Heart,Hands & Head. In 1911 it was suggested there should be a fourth H and it should be Hustle later they changed "hustle" for Health
4-He'rs pledge the following to make their communities and world a better place
"I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service(volunteering) and my Health to better living.
Pretty cool
