And where else can you drop off your senior citizen buds to do their daily walking?

The way Retail is going with bankruptcies and cities with vacant commercial properties,

I'm wondering when we'll see the first US Museum dedicated to those bygone SHOPPING MALLS?

Good news for SoCal lovebirds impatient to reach the spontaneous marriage capital ASAP: Construction on a high-speed rail line connecting the LA area and Vegas kicked off yesterday.

HAIL TO THE GARTER!!

ON this date in 1348 - The first English order of knighthood was founded.

It was the Order of the Garter.

Commoners Bun Man and Mr. Purple, rebuked by Merlin's sword, suddenly now found themselves thrust into prominence.

Seems their garter collection brought them fame, fortune and a Knighthood.

Who would have thought being a wedding crasher of the middle ages would have brought such glory?

HAIL TO THE GARTER!!

ON this date in 1759 - The British seized Basse-Terre and Guadeloupe in the Antilles from France.

Shared this event w/ the Boyz who are keen foreign policy pundits. Bun Man turned to me and said "Perhaps the next time American men in power feel the twinge of imperialism, we should seize Bali or Tahiti or some other celeb fab island rather than getting mucked down in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan who are going to go back to how they were after we leave anyway..."

The Boy has a point...

A Simple Prayer this morning...

Lord, give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change...

I'm not as intuitive as a woman so, hey, cut me some slack...

Can I get an amen?

Signed, Kenny Boy

WHY YOU GUYS HOLD YOUR THINGS?

Oh....I get it, worried about being inept there too.

The world is adorable as long as there are puppies...

ON this date in 1970 - The first "Earth Day" was observed by millions of Americans.

Peaceniks Bun Man and Mr. Purple helped me pass out biodegradable leaflets at Shippensburg State College to raise consciousness about taking care of our planet.

Sadly, we continue to abuse the Earth to this day; we may not live to see it, but our children will inherit it.

ON this date in 1914 - Babe Ruth made his pitching debut with the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles were actually a minor league team then, but cub reporters Bun Man and Mr. Purple covered the team.

Bun wrote "The Babe can pitch, and some say he can hit..."

Subsequently traded to Boston, the Babe ended up in NY as a Yank and turned a few heads as he became 'The Sultan of Swat'...

Bun Man eventually had to eat his words on the hitting...

Max (as Bun called him) would be recognized as Holy Roman Emperor while he agreed to influence voting for the Electorate of Palatinate and the Electorate of Cologne.

Bun Man said, "And thus it began..."

Mr. Purple replied "Oh, you mean the peddling and the influencing?

Dude, that has been going on since the beginning of time..."

2/2

ON this date in 1745 - The Peace of Fussen was signed, restoring the status quo of Germany.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, who were aides-de-camp for Emperor Charles VII, counseled Charles' son Maximillian to accept peace quickly after his father's demise on Jan.20th of that year.
