Re: Friday Morning Smoke..... 08 Sept 06

8 September 2006

Good morning Paul, Ed and all

It's 59F with 83% humidity and mostly clear here in central
Massachusetts at 0600. I've got a long weekend of work coming up.
I'm getting too old for this.

This morning I have some Peretti's Omega in a straight squat
Hardcastle bulldog. I have three similar Hardcastles, two smooth, and
one blast. They are good first-pipe-of-the-day pipes. This is also a
nice tobacco, and I'd probably smoke more of it if was a little less
pricey.

On this day in 1380, Russian forces defeated the Golden Horde of
Mongols and Tartars at Kulikovo. On this day in 1449, the Mongols
captured the emperor of China. On this day in 1514, combined Polish
and Lithuanian forces defeated the Russians at the battle of Orsha. On
this day in 1636, the first college in Massachusetts was founded. It
would later be named Harvard. On this day in 1664, New Amsterdam
surrendered to the British, and was later renamed New York. On this
day in 1755, New England militia defeated the French at the battle of
Lake George. On this day in 1900, the Galveston hurricane killed at
least 6,000 people, the deadliest natural disaster in US history. On
this day in 1966, the television series Star Trek began. On this day
in 1974, President Gerald R. Ford pardoned Richard Nixon.

Born on this date: 1157 - Richard I of England (the Lion Hearted);
1841 - Antonin Dvorak, Czech composer.

Have a good day everyone,

Charles
