TUESDAY NOVEMBER 13TH 2012. ITS A FAIRLY COLD ONE THIS A.M. AT ORR LAKE...MINUS 2 WITH A FEW FLURRIES...AFTER YESTERDAYS MORNINGS LOW OF PLUS 14...IN 86 WE HAD A BIT OF A SNOWSTORM...WITH HIGH WINDS ESPECIALLY OVER AROUND CRAIGLEITH UP TO 60 KPH AND UP TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW AROUND COOKSTOWN. ON THIS DATE IN 1958...JAMES BROWN'S "I GOT YOU (I FEEL GOOD)ENTERED THE CHARTS...HOPE YOU FEEL GOOD TOO. I HEAR MITT ROMNEY SPENT THE WEEK-END ON THE RIVERIA...HIS WIFE ANNE TOLD HIM.."YOU'D BETTER GET THE SNOW TIRES ON." ON THIS DATE IN 1789: In a letter to a friend, Benjamin Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." TODAY IS World Kindness Day, a time to be blatantly nice to everyone, even total strangers. Unless, of course, they're totally strange total strangers, then you might want to blatantly smile and be totally careful...MAYBE YOU COULD PAY THE CAR FOLLOWING YOU IN THE TIMMIES LINE-UP. The first space death occurred on this date in 1957 when Laika's oxygen supply gave out aboard Russia's Sputnik-2 satellite. Laika was a dog. She'd been blasted into space November 3rd with a 10-day supply of oxygen and Kibbles & Bitschov. IN CLOSING...YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE "SINCERE" EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T MEAN IT. MORNIN EVERYBODY..
