JUST SO YOU KNOW
There'll be a Wednesday Word later today, but real quick two things.
1) Yesterday, as you may have noticed, was 6-6-06. Allegedly this was going to be terrible for the entire world because we all know that the devil works on the Judeo-Christian calendar. Instead, all we got was a remake of a movie that wasn't that great the first time around. In all the hoopla though, I don't personally remember any mention of the fact that June 6th is also the anniversary of the Allied landing on the beaches of Normandy. It'd be 11 more months before V-E day and another three months after that before World War II would be over. Interesting fact, despite taking the beaches in a relatively short time, it would be weeks before the Allied forces could actually advance much further due to the German reinforcement of the hedgerows surrounding the beach. The Allies actually had a vehicle called "The Rhinoceros" that was like a bulldozer/tank to plow through them.
2) A while back I put up a link to http://onenjenifer.blogspot.com/ and I hope you all enjoy visiting Jenifer's site. In the same vein, who doesn't like cute babies? Answer: No one. Here's a blog of Carter Bracken who's... I don't know, 9 months? 9's a number right? I wouldn't link it if it were just Baby pictures, but the text under the pictures is quite clever. Scroll down a little for Passed Out Baby and Relaxacarter to see what I mean.
3) Looks like the Brewers have finally kicked their losing streak. 2 wins in a row!
4) Crap, that's 3 things, isn't it?
5) And that makes 4, and this makes Five! Things are spiraling out of control! Eject! Eject!
