ON this date in 1957 - Fats Domino sang "Blueberry Hill" and "Blue Monday" on the "Perry Como Show" on television.
Fats had stolen the song Blueberry Hill after overhearing Bun and Purple rap about some of their recent conquests.
Purple was saying "Though we're apart, You're part of me still; For you were my thrill,
On Blueberry Hill."
Bun said "Purple blueberries, gotta wipe that visual out..."
The trade gap has fallen 12.9% to $34.3 billion as Obama’s policies have made American products and services more available abroad, while Americans are increasingly buying more domestic products. The trade imbalance is now lower than at any time since the beginning of the recession, and the off-shoring of American jobs has (finally) slowed to a trickle.

But, this is where the US was economically 10 years ago, you know, before those Repub Tax Cuts...
The United States is now producing more oil than we import. Our overall trade deficit is at a four year low, as imported oil continues to decline. GM, Ford and Chrysler are all chugging along nicely, no thanks to a unified Republican/Tea party, who were eager to sacrifice 2 million American jobs on their altar of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

ON this date in 1962 - The 8th and 9th planets aligned for the first time in 400 years.
Scientists Bun Man and Mr. Purple were on hand to witness this interstellar event.
The Boyz reported that on this day all across America, every single married couple got along famously; they made love all day and all night long; the husbands all made breakfast in bed; ...

Most of us here aren't keen on the dreaded Facebook, but I do like their memory page. Tells me where I've been...
Like this post from 2018...
Starting to sense some haunting similarities between Afghanistan now and 'Merica in 5 to 10 years where the national government controls the cities and leaves the hinterlands to the America's Taliban, the Far Right and Fox&Friends...
The similarities have only become more pronounced.
PREDICTIVE PUPS????
Ken-Dogger: Cochise, what is that?
Cochise: Dude, you're the adult, but I'm thinking it's my shadow...
KD: Get back inside...quickly, did anyone see you?
C: Why all this stealth?

C: Dude, you know that's a myth...
KD: Myth or Myther, I don't care what their sex is, I don't want more winter
C: I'm hip...

Fluffie: Yes and listening to the quiet.
KD: It is creepily quiet anymore isn’t it?
F: I don’t often hear random conversations anymore, not that I did a lot before, but you did.
KD: IKR, peeps don’t seem to share thoughts now.
F: Well, it doesn’t seem safe, world needs to tone down.
KD: What are we going to do about it?
F: I’m gonna continue licking, it’s my effort for World Peace.
KD: Lick On, Fluffie, lick on.
Morning Peeps,
IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT

ON this date in 1900 - Eastman Kodak Co. introduced the $1 Brownie box camera.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, members of the innovation team, told Mr. Eastman this was just the start of what they could create in film, and they were sure others would innovate further.
Sure enough, years later, my sister Eileen would turn a Brownie into a pocketbook--it was a masterpiece.
ON this date in 1994 - Jeff Gillooly pled guilty in Portland, OR, for his role in the attack on skater Nancy Kerrigan. Gillooly, Tonya Harding's ex-husband, struck a plea bargain under which he confessed to racketeering charges in exchange for testimony implicating Harding.
Boxing impresarios, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, seizing opportunity from tragedy, offered Tonya a spot on their fighting card.
What the Boyz didn't realize was the Kerrigan affair was Tonya's 15 minutes of fame, not boxing.
