WE'VE DONE IT TO OURSELVES
ON this date in 1991 - Trade sanctions were imposed on Haiti by the U.S. to pressure the new leaders to restore the ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power.
US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple supported the sanctions, although both had private reservations about its' effect, but they were told Aristide was the kind of dictator America could live with, so they went along to get along.

Mr. P says, "Wasn't he the one who put his cape out so the Queen could pass...?"
Bun says "Wait; let me get this straight, this Raleigh dude does all this chivalrous stuff like putting his cape out for the Queen and he still gets beheaded?"
And I said "Pretty much..."

ON this date in 1618 - Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded under a sentence that had been brought against him 15 years earlier for conspiracy against King James I.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple are crouched near me this morning and reading this too (they are so cute when they read from the computer screen).

ON this date in 1971 - Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in Macon, GA.
Bun Man, Mr. Purple and I remember this day like it was yesterday as the Boyz and I had seen Duane the year before in a concert at Shippensburg State College.
Gratefully, the Allman Bros. Band would continue, but sadly, this musical genius and slide master is still missed, but remembered fondly every time we hear that slide solo in Layla or his searing work on Boz Scagg's 'Somebody Loan Me a Dime'...

Morning Peeps,
Most of the time, it's those working who know where we're headed...
My buddy arrived in Vegas and is on his way here.
Started thinking about Vegas in its heyday with the Rat Pack.
Success was time-sensitive...right place, right time.
Who would be today's RAT PACK?
Name your 4 selectees
Why aren't there Sade tribute bands touring?
I'd definitely be in that mosh pit.

Clocks are going back an hour this weekend: Daylight saving time is once again ending to create a monthslong window where it’s dark when you leave for work and dark when you’re on your way home. On Sunday at 2am ET, we will turn our clocks back our clocks will reset themselves and our microwaves will either be right or wrong until we move the clocks ahead in March. All this disruption to our lives, and most studies show that clocks going back an hour has a minimal impact on conserving energy.
