Ever Thankful
The unexpected death of my faithful refurbished MacPro late last year left me bereft. Without funds to replace it, and almost simultaneously undergoing oral surgery, I plunged into deep gloom.
But since the beginning of this blessed year of our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Six, I have experienced the healing of a year-long toe wound (Stay off your feet!!), the resolution of an infection in my mouth at the site of my surgery, and the wonderful gift from my daughter and son-in-law of this HP Chromebook!
I have missed this place and am so happy to be back!
Mayor Nan
My first connection was 16th DEC 2008, so that was probably my first day in Metropolis! Wow,17 years!.

It’s Thursday and on this day in history:
Royal Marriage Demanded
1547 English demand Edward VI (10) wed Mary, Queen of Scots (5)
> > > Clint’s comment: Wait, what? 10 and 5 years old! That’s nuts. AI tells me “This heavy-handed military diplomacy is famously known as the "Rough Wooing". The conflict was initiated by King Henry VIII in an aggressive attempt to force a marriage alliance between his son, the future King Edward VI of England, and Mary, Queen of Scots, thereby uniting the two crowns.”

1st Boxing Match Film
1894 Employed by Thomas Edison, William K.L. Dickson films the first boxing match in West Orange, New Jersey, an exhibition between world heavyweight champion James J. Corbett and Peter Courtney
> > > Clint’s comment: AI tells me: “It is often misidentified as the first filmed boxing match, but it was actually the second, following the Leonard-Cushing Fight filmed on June 14, 1894.” Regardless, some footage exists… https://youtu.be/QoVJOpfx_aQ?si=y3P2zPo87JCcHwBH

It’s Monday and on this day in history:
Most Profitable Pirate Raid
1695 English pirate Henry Every and his crew aboard the Fancy capture the armed Mughal trading ship Ganj-i-Sawai in the Arabian Sea in one of the most profitable raids in history, with loot valued between £325,000 and £600,000. The East India Company later compensates for the loss after Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb closes five ports to English trade.
> > > Clint’s comment: Different times eh? Mind you, some world leaders these days behave just like pirates!
