Good morning everyone
Happy Saturday
It looks like it is going to be another "lets see if we finally get rain today" day.

Today's Question(s):

What plans do you have for this weekend ?

Now lets "rewind" 20 years

What kind of weekend plans were you making back then ?


Bonus Question:

Do any of our QOTD family have a Freezer or Fridge in their garage ?

If so, what do you have it "stocked with" ?


Extra Credit Question:

Do you prefer to fall asleep on your
Back ?
Tummy ?
Side ?

Just Curious:

Have you ever had anything you owned "recalled ?


Just for Fun:

Iced Tea
Sweet ?
or
Un-sweet ?

Corn on the cob
Do you eat it side to side ?
Round & round ?
Cut it off the cob ?



Today in History:
1805 - 1st recorded tornado in "Tornado Alley", Southern Illinois
1865 - Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould listened quietly and with pride as his composition, "Onward Christian Soldiers", was presented for the first time in Horbury, England
1952 - 1st sporting event televised nationally-Walcott vs Charles boxing
1964 - David Jones and The King Bees had their first record, "Liza Jane", Less than a decade later, we came to know Jones better as David Bowie.

penumbra\pi-NUHM-bruh\ , noun;
1. An area in which something exists to an uncertain degree.
2. Astronomy. The partial or imperfect shadow outside the complete shadow of an opaque body, as a planet, where the light from the source of illumination is only partly cut off.

Round & round ? A few times
Cut it off the cob ? Only when I was 7 or 8 and had both front teeth out!
