ON this date in 1939 - U.S. President Roosevelt was presented with a letter from Albert Einstein who urged Roosevelt to develop the U.S. atomic program rapidly.

Fellow physicists Bun Man and Mr. Purple counseled Albert "Be careful what you ask for..."

Albert, for all his genius, didn't fully grasp human nature and man's willingness to wreak havoc upon each other.

ON this date in 1975 - "Saturday Night Live" was broadcast for the first time with George Carlin as the guest host. Janis Ian performed "At Seventeen" and "In the Winter." Billy Preston played "Nothing from Nothing" and "Fancy Lady." The Boyz, Carlin's managers, had wanted the band to be Blue Oyster Cult which was Carlin's fave band, but network execs thought the band a little too racy for TV. No problem, the after party had BOC rockin' w/ the Boyz singing the refrain 'Don't Fear the Reaper...'

it's as if Dixiee says "I love you Daddy and I'd go to the end of the earth for you, but, you know, there's a bed up there, it's warm, and I can snuggle, and I gotta tell you, it's a favorite thing too..."

REMEMBERING DIXIEE

Every morning, the routine is the same...

Dixiee and I awake, I go down and get the coffee started, and then I let her out to do her 'stuff', and then she comes in and eats...

After eating, she comes to the stairs as I am going down to the office, she looks at me before going up the stairs to the bedroom where the Mikster still slumbers...

ON this date in 1869 - Thomas Edison filed for a patent on his first invention.

The electric machine was used for counting votes for the U.S. Congress.

US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple actually supported the idea and thought it helpful for elections, however the Congress did not buy it.

Apparently, the machine was tamper-proof...

Bun Man would later wistfully state, "Damn inventors, always fail to understand how democracy works in America..."

SEE THE USA IN A POOR RED STATE WHO REMAINS POOR BECAUSE THEY KEEP SCREWING THEMSELVES OVER, TIME AND TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN

...a white and economically poor base votes for, and supports and defends pols who do nothing but support the entitled...

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Cato, again with the questions…
Cato: How do I become a Kiwi?
KD: A piece of fruit, you wanna become a piece of fruit?
C: No Bro…A New Zealander, you know someone who ‘gets’ managed isolation.
KD: Oh, you mean a country who has a plan, who has used their resources to stop the spread, not to politicize it.
C: Yep, a Kiwi…
KD: They’ve beat it twice now, we haven’t even tried once…Can I be a Kiwi too?
C: I’ve started building Kon-Tiki II…

Morning Indigenous Peoples Day Celebrators,

KD: They have one of the highest group rates of Military Service, they honor security.
T: And They value a reverence for life.
KD: Perhaps, we should have more of these days.

HATS OFF TO ELEANOR

Eleanor Roosevelt born (1884)

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

STARE THAT FEAR DOWN, and don't forget to tie that kangaroo down too Sport!

Morning Peeps,

Today, and just today, COSO is running a special...

Hey you, don't watch that
Watch this
This is the heavy, heavy monster sound
The nuttiest sound around

So if you've come in off the street
And you're beginning to feel the heat
Well, listen buster
You better start to move your feet
To the rockinest, rock-steady beat
Of Madness

One step beyond

SO...

GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT

ONE STEP BEYOND

Gotta run peeps, got an early teetime this morning...

Enjoy your day

Peace Love Dove GOLF Peeps

After months and months and months of campaigning between a highly qualified former Attorney General and a Lying thug, there are peeps in the USA who will wait for an October Surprise to decide who they will vote for on November 5th.

SUMMON YO WILL

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

- Christopher Reeve

128 Grazer ROCKING THE HOUSE

Mama Bear Retains Crown

A mother bear known as 128 "Grazer" won this year's Fat Bear Week competition, her second consecutive win. The annual popularity contest, launched in 2014, promotes conservation efforts at Alaska's Katmai National Park, home to an estimated 2,200 brown bears.

S: 1440 Digest

Another fraternity brother passed away yesterday.

Was in college for undergraduate work from 1968 to 1972, arguably the best years in US history to be learning and totally irresponsible for life.

Feeling very fortunate and blessed to still be kickin' around.

TUX V2

ON this date in 1886 - The tuxedo dinner jacket made its U.S. debut in New York City.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple showed up at the Knickerbocker Club resplendent in their fine threads and the ladies, well let's just say, the ladies didn't admire from afar!

There is something to be said about a well-dressed man.

Bun would later say "I dress for men; I undress for women."

Angie Dickinson would steal this line some years later for Dressed to Kill.

ON this date in 1965 - Charles Schultz, inspired by the tales of WWI Aces Bun Man and Mr. Purple, sought to capture those heroics and magic by modeling a new character of them.

Thus, the Red Baron made his first appearance in the "Peanuts" comic strip.

For years the Boyz would fight over who really was the inspiration.

Continuing with the COSO series on Husband Training...THIS FROM 2012

HUSBAND 101...Marry a woman who not only is your best friend but also someone who understands forgiveness--like when you bring home a 1981 Vespa Piaggio P200e which you won on eBay and she says, "It's cool, enjoy it."

Those other words the Mikster said were unprintable and certainly not appropriate for the COSOverse...
