Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
There is snow reported today in 49 states. Here in the St. Louis metropolitan area, the wind chill is running five to ten degrees below zero, and "Baby, it's COLD outside!"
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTNheCEUP_A - Baby, It's Cold Outside - Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer, 1944
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crFQpOCDfEc - Baby, It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin, 1959
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby,_It%27s_Cold_Outside:
"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a pop standard with words and music by Frank Loesser. The song is popularly associated with winter weather, and although it does not refer to any specific time or holiday, it is commonly played alongside Christmas carols and popular winter holiday music.
Loesser wrote the duet in 1944 and premiered the song with his wife, Lynn Garland, at their Navarro Hotel housewarming party. Lynn considered it "their song," and was furious when Loesser sold the song to MGM.[1]
The lyrics in this duet are designed to be heard as a conversation between a female and a male, marked as "mouse" and "wolf" on the printed score. As such, every line in the song features a statement from the female subject, followed by a response from the male.

THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0112.htm January 12, 1861 - Star of the West returned to New York City January 12, 1861 - Attorney-general I. W. Hayne left Charleston with a demand from Governor Pickens that the federal government surrender Fort Sumter. January 12, 1861 - In Florida, state troops demanded the surrender of Fort Pickens after having seized Fort Barrancas and its barracks, Fort McRee, and the naval yard at Pensacola. Fort Pickens remained in Federal hands, however. January 12, 1861 - In Washington, Mississippi representatives left the House. In an appeal to the Senate, New York's Senator Seward stated, "I do not know what the Union would be worth if saved by the use of the sword." January 12, 1863 - At the Confederate capital in Richmond, Virginia, President Jefferson Davis addressed the Assembly, emphasizing his hopes for European recognition of the southern nation. January 12, 1865 - Francis P. Blair, an important Maryland political figure, met President Jefferson Davis in Richmond to discuss possible avenues for peace between North and South. Blair's personal scheme called for the two sides to join together to expel the French from Mexico. Such a course, he felt would not only root out the dangerous incursion against the Monroe Doctrine, but would also revive a feeling of brotherhood between North and South. Although the scheme did not meet the approval of either Davis or Lincoln the Confederate President did promise to send a representative to discuss peace with Lincoln. This meeting would take place on 3 February 1865. January 12, 1865 - President Jefferson Davis sent a message to General Richard Taylor urging him to send troops from Tupelo Mississippi to reinforce Hardee in his operations against Sherman in the Carolina's. January 12, 1865 - In Savannah, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton called a meeting of about twenty of "the most intelligent of the Negroes" in that city to ask them how they felt blacks could best maintain their newly acquired freedom. Their spokesman, Garrison Frazier, told Stanton should be placed on land to farm until they could afford to buy it. He also told Stanton that because of deep seated prejudice against them he felt his people would be better off living by themselves rather than among whites. Because of charges concerning Sherman's alleged mistreatment of blacks, Stanton also asked the group what their attitude was towards Sherman. Instead of complaints, however, Frazier told Stanton, "We have confidence in General Sherman, and think that what concerns us." |
When a traffic light turns green, do you take a precautionary
look in each direction and then proceed across the intersection? Watch this video, and I bet you will wait a little longer and look a little longer before stepping on the gas. None of these motorists with the right-of-way had any idea what was about to happen to them. Do you? Please be even more careful than you already are. Caution: This is a bit scary, especially the final “event”. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=-qvXbIenivk
YOWZERONI-YINI!
Thank you for this chilling reality check, David!
Y'all be careful out there. Apparently there are a great number of people not paying any attention to what they're doing! |

AN
IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: Good Luck!
I hope
it works...
May there
always be work for your hands to do;
May your
purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun
always shine on your windowpane;
May a
rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the
hand of a friend always be near you;
May God
fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
and may you
be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Thanks, Eva and Bill! ![]() ![]() |
Due to weather, flights were delayed, so it will probably be next week that I take some computer time off. |
"I
found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the
really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your
time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities
straight. Thanks so much, Shari! ![]() |
