JSOS-- just Some Interesting Stuff.
1. 75TH ANNIVERSARY PROHIBITION REPEAL-- Thursday, I bought a commemorative set of Old Forester Bourbon honoring the event, which actually happened in 2008. Anyway, Old Forester was able to continue producing bourbon with a federal decree that it be used just for "medicinal purposes."
I know when to take my medicine. As a matter of fact, I already have.
2. BEATLES OR NOT THE BEATLES-- Listening to Chicago's WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback to 1967. Needless to say, great music and memories for me. The deejay filling in for Wendy Rice played "New York Mining Disaster, 1941" and said that in '67, there was much discussion as to whether or not the group was the Beatles using an assumed name. I wondered that as well at the time.
Turns out they were the Bee Gees, a group much inspired by the Beatles.
3. 1957 MURDER SOLVED-- The 1957 murder of 7-year-old Maria Ridulph in Sycamore, Illinois, has been at long-last solved. This made big news back then, but, I had never heard of it. Jack Daniel McCullough, of Washington state was arrested.
Not all bad things happen today, and who would have figured that something like that would happen in little Sycamore, a town about 50 miles west of Chicago?
4. WHY IT DIDN'T GET SO HOT YESTERDAY-- We were expecting hot here in Chicagoland yesterday. I went out to work in the yard much earlier than usual and worked in a shady area of the arboretum. Fortunately, we didn't because a band of thunderstorms that was supposed to pass to the east, came closer and stuck around, causing an "outflow boundary."
OK with me.
Numbers 3 and 4 from today's Chicago Tribune.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
