Happy Tuesday Guys and Dolls:
I hope you like the music on my site, I had to switch, the last list cancelled their automatic turn-on feature so I went with this new one. I’m trying to build a special playlist only for this blog but you are hearing my oldie collection the true music I grew up with and still love today. I hope to have my new list completed in a week or so.
Pay attention here Speakies for today it is officially “BABY BOOMER RECOGNITION DAY.” It gives us Boomers the recognition we deserve. Don’t deny us our Social Security benefits and all those other good things we’ve paid into for years. They owe us so stand together my brothers and sisters and don’t waiver when it comes to our rights as Boomers. Three Cheers for all us Boomers and beer for everyone.
Dr. Pepper hit the streets today in 1857. The formula was founded by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton in Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas. To test his new drink mixture he gave it to Mr. Morrison who owned the store and really liked the flavor. Patrons learned of the new drink and began calling it a Waco. Alderton gave the formula to Mr. Morrison who named it Dr. Pepper as we know it today.
Today is also the first day of summer and I tell you it sure is summer here in Central Florida, the temps are in the high 90’s and the humidity is even greater. Best to stay in the air and relax or if you have errands to do early morning or in the evening is the time to do them.
Let’s check out some stuff that happened today, some birthdays, bucket kicks and maybe if any events of mentioning occurred here it comes:
Happy Birthday to:
