TUESDAY DECEMBER 18TH, 2012

Hi Tuesday types...still no snow here at Orr Lake...but on this date in 1985 we had a storm with Bus Cancellations and road closures..in 1979 we had a DOOZY with up to 3 feet in some areas...especially along the 5th of Oro...lots of closures in that Major storm.. It's getting mighty close to "Santas big night out with the"TOYS" and speaking of that Santa's reindeer have all signed their contracts "Terms of EnDEERment"...and Rudolph has been cleared of Running a Red light" last Christmas Eve. By the way it's Rudolphs birthday today...he is 73 (first published on this date AS A CHILDRENS BOOK)and made famous by Gene Autry. Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts. Autry's version also holds the distinction of being the only chart-topping hit to fall completely off the chart after reaching No. 1. The official date of its No. 1 status was for the week ending January 7, 1950, making it the first No. 1 song of the 1950s.[2] The recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year, eventually selling a total of 25 million... 1719: Thomas Fleet of Boston published Mother Goose’s Melodies for Children. The stories had come from Fleet’s mother-in-law, Elizabeth Foster Goose.:) Actor Brad Pitt is 48 today. Women think he's one of the best looking guys around, though being born on this date has nothing to do with good looks because it's also Keith Richards' 69th birthday.I understand,if you look closely at his face you can find a city map of London England. Have a terrific day.
