Mornin' everybody...mornin'...here we are "waking in a winter slumber land" for the final chapter of February for this year....So I guess tomorrow we will find out if March will come in like a Lion or a Lamb. I predict a "Silence of the Lamb" Checking back 10 years we had a high on the day of -2 and a low of -19 and the big story of the day 31 years ago in 1982 was the huge CP Train Derailment in Medonte Township and the resulting Chemical Spill. The result was" Boxcars Willy-Nillys" all over the place and it took till March 9th of 1982 to clean things up.
FROM THE HISTORICAL FILE....
Westminster Abbey opened in 1066, and in 1646 a fellow named Roger Scott was tried in mass for Sleeping in church...Imagine sleeping in his own Pew...yuch!
John Wesley Chartered The Methodist Church and in 1925 The Number one song was Marion Harris's "TEA FOR TWO". She later gave up the drink and became the "NO TEA LADY OF SHADY LANE".
IN 1960 THE U.S. WON THE OYMPIC GOLD medal.
In 1983, the last episode of the TV show "MASH" was shown and became the most watched TV show in the U.S. with a 77% share of the total audience even eclipsing the "Who Shot J.R." episode of Dallas....it even became known as
"HAWKEYE night in Canada.
FAMOUS PEEPS BORN ON THIS DATE:
The late Charles Durning would have been 90 today. Gavin McLoed of the Love Boat is 82, Frank Bonner (AKA Herb Tarlick) of WKRP is 71, Bernadette Peters is 65 (lately of the TV show Smash (not Mash). Moe Koffman was born 85 Years ago.
ALSO BORN ON THIS DATE; Mario Andretti 73 years ago, singer Jason Aldean and former Hockey star Eric Lindross who is 40 today...He recently got hitched and surprisingly married a girl from the Province of Quebec of all places. One of the few people in Quebec who would actually speak to him I would think. (remember when he got drafted and wouldn't play for the Nordiques). If you are celebrating today...."Joyeux Anniversaire"
and Finally.....
"if you are Driving these days in these conditions...remember it's easy to get into A RUT"
Mornin' everybody Mornin'
