Do you know what happened 34 years ago today ?

34 years? Wow, that was a lifetime ago. Back then I was a freelance assassin. Usually hired to eliminate high profile targets. Discretion was what stood me apart from my competition. My method of choice was poisoning. I was working a job in Tennessee, some big time celebrity, capped his ass and moved on.

Then I hear Elvis is dead. Did I cry? No. Did I laugh? A little. Bottom line:

I saved America from any further embarrassment. Things were only going to get weirder with this freaked out drug addled loser.

You're welcome America.

That day should be called "number 51 day".

Bumfuk, Ohio sure beats the bejesus out of Cleveland.


Cleveland hasn't been the same since John D. Rockefeller left Euclid Ave. for greener pastures. I don't know why anyone would want to live in the Rust Belt anymore.
My favorite song by Elvis.

Also 19 years ago, a local talk host, JP McCarthy, on WJR radio died.
Another event that occurred 24 years ago was an airplane crash at Detroit Metro which killed all on board.

Apple II brand new was about $1500 with out a monitor. Memory of course was very expensive ($1,000 or more a megabyte)

RM, the first MSDOS was called PC DOS, later in the 1980's IBM came out with OS2 when Gates and them had a bit of a tiff as Gates was developing Windows.






Hubby and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary...in Memphis! (he was stationed at Millington) so we were right there when the news broke. k
