Happy Thursday Guys and Dolls:
Thought I would bring you a news story headline today from Central Florida that just cracked me up this morning. “The City of Ocala Puts Out Contract On Ducks.” Who is going to make the hit, Bobby the Beak, Tony Two-Feathers, Nicky Talons or Chester the Nester? Actually the city is getting rid of Muscovy Ducks that live around the ponds at the city parks. The duck poop is causing a mess at the parks and the city wants to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. I posted a picture of the man who should get the job done.
P.S. Some local farmer has agreed to take the ducks. What a guy!!!!!
Today we also celebrate one major holiday, “National Cellophane Tape Day.” That handy dandy item was given a patent this very day of May 27.
Some Birthday people to honor today are:
1837 – “Wild Bill” Hickok (James Butler) Cowboy and Scout.
1911 – Vincent Price – Actor – House on Haunted Hill, The House of Usher, The Fly and the voice of Michael Jackson’s “The Thriller.”
1915 – Herman Wouk – Novelist – Caine Mutiny and the Winds of War.
1923 – Henry Kissinger – US Secretary of State.
1935 – Ramsey Lewis – Pop Jazz artist, “Hang on Sloopy.”
1943 – Bruce Weitz – Actor – Hill Street Blues.
Died Today:
1949 – Robert L. Ripley – Cartoonist “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.”
1969 – Jeffrey Hunter – Actor – Greatest Story Ever Told, The Searchers, he also played Captain Christopher Pike in the original “Star Trek” series.
And finally in 1992 – Tony “Big Tuna” Accardo – Mobster involved in the St. Valentine’s Day job in Chicago.
I leave you hoping you all have a great day and now a little Chinese Aphorism “Useless talk like boat without oar – get no place.”
