NOVEMBER 14TH 2012 NICE MORNING AT ORR LAKE BUT KIND OF DULL. I HAD TO CHASE A FEW CANADA GEESE AWAY FROM OUR SHORELINE...i HOPE YOU ARE DOING THE SAME ON "LITTLE LAKE"..IN 1981 WE HAD A HIGH OF 19 C ON AN INDIAN SUMMER TYPE DAY..IN 83 WE HAD ABOUT 3 INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND..AND SEAN CONNERY WAS AT THE CINEMA WITH "NEVER SAY NEVER"....3 YRS LATER IN 1986 WE HAD 4 INCHES OR 5 INCHES IN OUR FIRST SNOWSTORM OF THE SEASON. THE CANADARM WAS SUCCESSFULLY TESTED IN 1981 ON THIS DATE..SIR FREDERICK BANTING WAS BORN ON THIS DATE IN 1891 AND PRINCE CHARLES THE HEIR TO THE THRONE IS 64 ALTHOUGH I THINK THE "AIR MIGHT BE COMING OUT OF THAT THRONE. Legend says President Teddy Roosevelt spared the life of a bear cub while on a 1902 big game hunt in Mississippi. Political cartoonist Clifford Berryman drew the incident and the "TEDDY" Bear was born. 1954: Bill Haley’s first hit record peaked at #7 on U.S. music charts. It was "Shake, Rattle, & Roll." 1995: A survey reported in George magazine indicated 75% of Americans believed the U.S. government was involved in conspiracies; 50% believed there was life on other planets; 70% believed in angels; and 10% believed Elvis was still alive. The inventor of the steamboat, Robert Fulton, was born on this date in 1765. Thanks to Fulton's steamboat, for the first time in history, everybody could go UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE. HAVE A GREAT DAY...MORNIN EVERYBODY.
