ON this date in 1967 - The Grateful Dead, all six members, were arrested for possession of marijuana.
Noted NORML barristers Bun Man and Mr. Purple were called to get the dudes out.
The Boyz arrived in their VW psychedelic bus, after partaking of some righteous weed on the way, and they left a smoke trail all the way thru the local constable's station.

It's not pretty being easy.
I'm surprised...
TRUMP WENT FULL NAZI ON US IN HIS 'BRING ON THE VIOLENCE' SPEECH.
Part and parcel of the NAZI playbook.

100 Years of Surrealism
Today officially marks 100 years of surrealism—the art and literary movement behind Salvador Dalí's iconic melting clocks and Frida Kahlo's self-portrait as a wounded deer (though Kahlo rejected the surrealist label for her art). First emerging in the late 1910s and early 1920s, surrealism revolutionized the art world by exploring the deeper layers of reality and imagination.

PETE ROSE
Everyone has an opinion on ol' Pete and the HOF.
He might get in now after his demise.
He experienced demise in his lifetime as he failed to come to terms with his transgressions until much later in life.
MLB was right, IMO, to keep him out of the HOF during his lifetime.
I render no opinion about what they do now.
On November 27, this annual New York City tradition was held for the first time.
This event was also held for the first time in January and February in Chamonix, France.
The Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company renamed itself to this. The company has a market cap of $200 billion today.

History trivia
Jimmy Carter was born on Oct. 1, 1924, so here are some questions about the year 1924.
This Vermont-born lawyer, whose first and last name start with the same letter, was the president of the US.
Carter’s beloved Atlanta Braves were still playing ball in their original city, this Northeastern capital.

WAY TO GO BRITS
It’s leaving home: The only remaining coal plant in the UK shut down yesterday, marking the first time a G7 member has completely ended its reliance on the original fossil fuel.
After 142 years of burning bricks, the Brits have made good on a deadline set in 2015 to phase out coal by 2025. The move is expected to help lower UK demand for the resource to preindustrial levels, according to the climate publication Carbon Brief.

If markets are a measure, and clearly they are just one of many, then BIDENOMICS has been a success.
Markets: Like Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” Q3 ended on a high note yesterday, with the S&P 500 clinching a record close to cap off a winning month and a winning quarter. It was the index’s best year-to-date performance as of the end of September since 1997.

ON this date in 1781 - James Lawrence was born.
He was the American naval officer whose dying words were "Don't give up the ship."
Actually, James overheard Bun Man and Mr. Purple taunting this wench on the ship to 'Give it Up' and James mistook their comment and thought they were surrendering the ship...
What do you think happened to the wench?
ON this date in 1896 - Rural Free Delivery was established by the U.S. Post Office.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple just turned to me and said, "You mean this was when the US government actually worked and provided benefits to citizens?"
I didn't know how to answer...
So much so that when the Sheik passed by, Bun Man began telling him...
"Bubba's goin' to be singing "Sheik, Sheik, Sheik; Sheik, Sheik, Sheik; Shake your booty"...
Oh yeah, all night long...
Oh yeah Sheik, Have a Nice Stay..."

ON this date in 1995 - Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine other defendants were convicted in New York of conspiring to attack the U.S. through bombings, kidnappings and assassinations.
Prosecutors Bun Man and Mr. Purple were so pleased w/ the verdict that they lost their composure when the defendants were led from the courtroom.

ON this date in 1991 - The white crystal-beaded glove worn by Michael Jackson was stolen from the Motown Museum in Detroit.
M.C. Hammer offered a $50,000 reward for its return.
Bun Man just turned to me and Mr. P and said, "Damn, I can distinctly remember when M.C. had that kind of money..."
I had to turn away...
