Saturday 1st November.

Pattisue and I enjoyed the movie last night, The Judge.  It took some time to get into, but it was brilliantly acted from start to finish, and I was surprised at the ending.    I would see it again if it came downtown, I think there were nuances I didn't pick up on, things I am not quite clear about.    When we came out it was really chilly, and we decided winter was on the way.   And today it was 47 as I drove through town.

Today has been uneventful, enjoyed a chat with Jeremy on Skype.

Today in history.....

1903		London's Daily Mirror newspaper is first published. That's earlier than I would have thought.
1920		The first radio broadcast in the United States is made from Pittsburgh.  And that's later.
1942		Lieutenant General Dwight D. Eisenhower arrives in Gibraltar to set up an American command post for the invasion of North Africa.   My Dad was there then, I wonder if he saw him, or knew he was there.  But if he did he probably thought he was just some Yank.  I got into a bit of a pickle with the layout here, copying and pasting, and don't know why I can't put it right.   1960    A British jury determines that Lady Chatterley's Lover is not obscene.  I remember that, it was a big deal.  Everyone was talking about it, and queuing up to buy it.   1936    The first high-definition public television transmissions begin from Alexandra Palace in north London by the BBC.    That's earlier than I would have thought.  We got our first television for the Coronation in 1953.   (Anne - do you remember that?  Your parents were there as well, and we lived in Birdhurst Road)   Born on 2nd November 1734   Daniel Boone, American frontiersman and explorer.  My friend Vicki Sparks, chaplain Larry's wife, is Daniel Boone's 5th great grand daughter.
