In addition to being the Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, a secondary great event took place this week in 1885. Gottlieb Daimler rolled out the first motorcycle.

The Edmund Fitzgerald went down today-39 years ago.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Yesterday marked 25 years of something else coming down...
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
