Happy Wednesday OTrs of the GMT.

Today in History

1789 Congress established the U.S. War Department.

1947 The wooden raft Kon-Tiki, which carried Thor Heyerdahl and five companions more than 4,000 miles, crashed into a reef in the Pacific.

1964 Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which expanded President Johnson's use of military powers in the Vietnam War.

1987 Lynne Cox becomes the first person to swim from the United States to the Soviet Union, making the 2.7 mile trip through the frigid waters of the Bering Strait. Cox is surprised by the (relatively) warm welcome she receives from the Soviets.

1998 U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed, by terrorists. Some 224 were killed and more than 5,500 injured.

2000 Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Conn., was selected by Al Gore to be the first Jewish vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket.

2007 Barry Bonds passes Hank Aaron on baseball’s all-time homerun list. The record, however, is discredited by many because of Bond’s alleged steroid use.

Morning LCA. Roofers showed up at 6 this morning. After their bagel and latte, they were hammering away 10 minutes later.

I'm swapping out all his outlets and switches. The first day I just worked hot because it's a pain sometimes when it's poorly labeled anyway. But when I got closer to where the service panel was, I figured it out.

And why did you think that was funny to tell me?

Hopefully you just didn't know. Otherwise...kind of a dick move there.

I've been bitched at by 3 women in the past 24 hours. Mom, ex wife, and gf. You make 4. I'm on a roll

Sometimes that's just how I roll

My ex gave me an ear full last night
