THESE ARE DARK DAYS

Written Wednesday, April 19 by J.R.Knight | E-mail this post

The 19th and 20th of April are bad days here in the modern age. Take a look at the stats

April 19th

1961 - Bay of Pigs
1965 - Suge Knight is born
1971 - Charles Manson is sentenced (not a bad thing but still...)
1989 - The infamous Center Park Jogger is raped (this is a NYC thing)
1993 - ATF agents raid the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco, Texas with not so great results
1995 - Oklahoma City Bombing

Now add that to April 20th

1889 - Hitler's birthday
1967 - The Swiss Britinnia crash - 126 killed
1968 - The South African Airways Windhoek crash - 122 killed
1972 - Carmen Elektra's birthday
1978 - Korean Air Flight 902 is shot down by Russian fighters
1985 - ATF agents raid The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord compound in northern Arkansas
1992 - Benny Hill dies
1998 - Air France crash in the mountains outside Bogota, Columbia 53 killed
1999 - Columbine High School shooting
1999 - ASJS and I begin the Week of Wine and Roses and almost lose our jobs and our lives

So what have we learned? Well, two things: First, if you run a separatist militia keep a low profile around this time of year. Second, don't get on a plane.

It is also Rabobank New York Branch's 25th anniversary. Mmm-hmmm, that's right.

The weeks of wine and roses were some of the finest I've ever lived.

Also I'm getting on plane tomorrow.

So, you know. Thanks for that.

Dick.

Assuming I get there safely (and we all know what happens when you assume) I'll write from Istanbul.

Enjoy your flight ASJS.

So, April 20th now constitutes another time that I get totally drizzle-unk and oversleep for work and almost get fired. Goddamn Hitler's Birthday--every year it's a problem...
