THIS DAY IN WWII:
January 18, 1941 - British troops launched a general counter-offensive against Italian East Africa.
January 18, 1943 - Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: The first uprising of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.
January 18, 1944 - Soviet forces liberated Leningrad, effectively ending a three year Nazi siege, known as the Siege of Leningrad.
January 18, 1945 - Liberation of the Budapest ghetto by the Red Army.
THIS DAY IN 1965:
Monday, January 18, 1965 - Writer and comedian Dave Attell was born in Queens, New York.
Good evening, Carol, The other day I had an eye appointment and
was sitting in the waiting room waiting for my turn. I was sitting beside a
gentleman and we started talking and I found out that he graduated from NNHS
class of 42. His last name was Williams. I can't remember his first name. He
told me he played varsity football. After graduation he said he went into the
Marine Corps for three years and was stationed on the battleship Iowa and was in
the Pacific Theater during the war. After the war and sometime later he told me
he coached football at York High School, varsity and junior varsity, and loved
every minute of it. He has been a peninsula resident all his life. He was such a
nice fellow. A chance meeting and you find out we went to the same school. Mr.
Williams graduated before I was born. I just wanted to share this with you

Carol
,I thought perhaps some skiers would like to see how we party in the winter. These pictures are from the world cup mogul finals last night at Deer Valley Resort. We had good weather for a change but are going to finally get several large storms starting Monday or Tuesday. We seriously need the powder.

01/17/10 - "SHOPPING AT COSTCO":
A TRIP TO COSTCO
Yesterday I was at my
local COSTCO buying a
large bag of Purina dog
chow for my loyal pet,
Biscuit the Wonder
Dog, and was in the
checkout line when a
woman behind me asked if
I had a dog.
What did she think I had, an
elephant? So since I'm retired and
have little to do, on impulse I told
her that no, I didn't have a dog, I
was starting the Purina Diet again.
I added that I probably shouldn't,
because I ended up in the hospital
last time, but that I'd lost 50
pounds before I awakened in
an intensive care ward with tubes
coming out of most of my orifices
and IVs in both arms.
I
told her that it was essentially a perfect diet
and that the way that it works is to load your
pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat
one or two every time you feel hungry. The food
is nutritionally complete so it works well and I
was going to try it again. 
(I have to mention here that practically
everyone in line was now enthralled with my
story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in
intensive care because the dog food poisoned me.
I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an
Irish Setter's rear-end and
a car hit us both.
I thought the
guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.
Costco won't let me
shop there anymore.
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends..... It will be their Laugh for the day.
TYPHOONs
FOREVER
I love your happy pict-o-grams!

*************
Good Milk
There once was a 94 year old nun back in the 1890s whose worn out body began to
surrender. Her doctor prescribed for her a shot of whiskey three times a day, to
relax her. However, not to be lured into worldly pleasures, she huffily
declined.
But her mother superior knew the elderly sister loved milk. So she instructed
the kitchen to spike the milk three times a day. Eventually, the elderly pious
one approached her final hour. As several sisters gathered around her at
bedside, the mother superior asked if she wanted to leave them any words of
wisdom.
"Oh, yes," she replied. "Never sell that cow!"

We Shall Overcome
Lyrics derived from Charles Tindley's gospel song "I'll
Overcome Some Day" (1900), and opening and closing melody from the
19th-century spiritual "No More Auction Block for Me" (a song that dates to
before the Civil War). According to Professor Donnell King of Pellissippi State
Technical Community College (in Knoxville, Tenn.), "We Shall Overcome" was
adapted from these gospel songs by "Guy Carawan, Candy Carawan, and a couple of
other people associated with the Highlander Research and Education Center,
currently located near Knoxville, Tennessee. I have in my possession copies of
the lyrics that include a brief history of the song, and a notation that
royalties from the song go to support the Highlander Center."
We shall
overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
CHORUS:
Oh, deep in my
heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
We'll walk hand
in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
We shall all be
free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day
We are not
afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid some day
We are not
alone
We are not alone
We are not alone some day
The whole wide
world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day
We shall
overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
