Good Evening Neighbors, Its another cool, damp April evening here in Lower Slower Lancaster County. Tomorrow starts out nice but the clouds and showers may roll in later on before the skies clear and the lows drop to around 40. It would be nice if the temps would even out and I wouldnt have to keep turning the heat on at night. K9 Train helped get some gifty (his word for narcotics) off the street earlier today. He is now rolling a tennis ball around the station while Officer Carter completes some paperwork. I heard mention of a steak dinner, but Im not sure if that is for Carter, Train, or me for being an outstanding supervisor and plain ole great guy. We like to keep things educational around here so here is your history lesson for the evening. Today In History: 1792 - Guillotine first used in France, executes highwayman Nicolas J Pelletier 1850 - Paul Julius Reuter, use 40 pigeons to carry stock market prices 1859 - Ground broken for Suez Canal 1875 - Latest date for measurable snow in NYC (3) - Lets hope we dont beat that any time soon. 1901 - New York becomes 1st state requiring auto license plates ($1 fee) 1954 - Bell labs announces 1st solar battery (NYC) 1971 - About 200,000 anti-Vietnam War protesters march on Washington 1978 - Philly Phanatic makes 1st appearance 1983 - Pioneer 10 travels beyond Plutos orbit. 1990 - Hubble space telescope is placed into orbit by shuttle Discovery 1993 - Russia elects Boris Yeltsin leader 2007 - Boris Yeltsins funeral - the first to be sanctioned by the Russian Orthodox Church for a head of state since the funeral of Emperor Alexander III in 1894. Spend some time this weekend on home improvement; improve your attitude toward your family. - Bo Bennett Weekend is starting, have a fun, restful couple days. Stay safe, dont drink and drive, wear a life vest (if youre on the river, or on land if you want be extra cautious), watch for motorcycles and kids (be extra cautious of kids driving motorcycles), wear your seatbelt, and clean underwear, watch your speed, so on and so forth. Just have a good weekend, preform a random act of kindness, do something for your community, spend time with your family, just be a good person. Just so you know, only 239 days until Winter. Go Flyers!!!
