Today is the 4th day of the 37th week, the 14th day of the 9th month, the 258th day of 2016 [with only 101 shopping days left until Christmas], and:   
  • Eat a Hoagie Day
  • National Coloring Day
  • National Cream-Filled Donut Day
  • The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
On this day in 81 Domitian became Emperor of the Roman Empire upon the death of his brother Titus.  In 1741 Handel completed his oratorio Messiah.  In 1814 the poem Defense of Fort McHenry was written by Francis Scott Key to commemorate the Battle of Baltimore, and this was the poem that was used as the lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner.  In 1958 the first two German post-war rockets, designed by the German engineer Ernst Mohr, reached the upper atmosphere.  In 1959 the Soviet space probe Luna 2 became the first man-made object to reach the moon as it crashed onto the lunar surface. In 1984 Joe Kittinger became the first person to fly a gas balloon alone across the Atlantic Ocean.  In 1985 Penang Bridge, the longest bridge in Malaysia, connecting the island of Penang to the mainland, opened to traffic.

 

Tell me, ‘o gurus of social media, why is it that….

Folks would open the door of the trash room, and just throw their bags in instead of walking two more steps, opening the chute door, and dropping it in?

Someone would spill a cup of coffee in front of an office door [trying to juggle talking on the phone handling two cups without lids and opening the door] and not try to clean it up, or at least notify the building maintenance that there is a mess on the carpet and the door?

A clerk would send out four documents to a lender in response to a request for documentation – one of them was a duplicate, two were for the wrong lender and the wrong property, and after that who can trust the fourth one that may have been right?

It has been a very very long week – and that brings me to my last question….   Why are the adjectives 'fast as' and 'slow as' often used in conjunction with hell – do we actually know if hell is usually slow or fast?
