It was changed from Armistice Day (which honored the cessation of hostilities of WW I) to Veterans Day (honoring those who served in all wars from WW I and all that followed) in 1954. But remained on the date of November 11th.

Someone asked me yesterday if I was in a war. I responded with, "I've been married for 30 years, I'm in combat every day".Hysterical

Holy crap it's cold out. Something like 35º below normal temps for this time of year. Should be 54º or so my thermometer says it's 26º and they don't expect it to go much past 35º today and stay this way the rest of the week. Windy as fuck too. I hate the wind.

They told us for a day or so that we are gonna get a bit of lake effect snow, you know mostly just the south towns, in ski country. Uh, yeah, wake up to 16 degrees and 2 feet of snow, the NYS thruway is closed from Rochester to PA. Just a little lake effect they said.

LOL That IS a little lake effect snow! They were saying you got bombed.

Those normal temps are for NYC - 30 miles north of me. I'm usually anywhere from 5º - 10º warmer than the "dividing line" of I-195 here. It's kind of freaky how the weather temps are actually divided by that highway here.

FYI - those little leaves from Beech trees are not tasty and they stick to the roof of your mouth when they come through the siphon hose in the pool. Diablo
