Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For November
1, 2016 Only
8 waning but increasingly vitriolic and
hypocritical days to go until the only polls that matter close; Trump and Pence
delivered a stinging condemnation in PA on Obamacare that with soaring triple
digit premium increases in some states may prove to be the straw that breaks
Hillary’s back; Obedin has disappeared from the campaign trail; Reid has proven
himself to be a complete partisan idiot with his allegation that Comey violated
the Hatch Act; Podesta’s email 2 days before House subpoena issued indicating that
HRC’s emails should be dumped from her server is a clear indication of the
damaging content of those “private” emails; 650,000 emails on Obiden’s laptop
she shared with her pervert estranged husband now being reviewed by FBI; latest
poll shows Trump leading Hillary by one point; on the sports front game six in
the World Series which the Cubs must win to keep their hopes alive to be played
at Cleveland tonight.
As
Trump is trying to become more presidential, going to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com is a great way to start your
day along of course with www.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com and reading Clinton
Cash would be a great read to
understand the quid pro quo mentality of the Clintons and if you want some
music in your life with a little satire-- https://safeshare.tv/x/kXjbXGyQDsE
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances,
a music link to Billy Ocean, factoids of interest for this
day in history, one of Ansel Adams’
greatest photographs, a relevant quote from Victoria Moran, while looking
forward to enjoying your favorite vinegar dressing, blessed with a positive
attitude and secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet
can provide you with a unique customized poem at a great
price tailored to the event and the recipient. You need only contact me

1. National Brush Day—created in 2013 to
encourage parents to promote proper dental hygiene for their children who probably
overloaded with candy from last night’s trick or treating.
2. World Vegan Day—celebrating a day revered by most
domesticated and wild food source animals and observed by a growing number of
herbivore humans for health and financial reasons.
3. 1984 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 1984
on a run of 3 weeks in that position “Caribbean Queen” by Billy Ocean. Here is
a recording of him performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f16Fw_K45s
4. National Vinegar Day—celebrating a drink, seasoning and preservative that has been around for 10,000 years and sold to the
consumer in individual bottles by Heinz since 1896 and trumps two other food
holidays in honor of World
Vegan Day, National Bison Day and National Fried Clams Day.
5. An Apple A Day Or Maybe A Million More Is Good For The
Bottom Line—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1960 of Tim Cook who took over as CEO for Apple in
2011, replacing Steve Jobs who was shortly thereafter to die from cancer.
On this day
in:
a. 1512 the ceiling of the Sistine
Chapel painted by Michelangelo was opened to the public for viewing for the first
time.
b. 1765 in a move that created great resentment in the Colonies, the English Parliament passed the Stamp Act to finance military operations in North America.
b. 1765 in a move that created great resentment in the Colonies, the English Parliament passed the Stamp Act to finance military operations in North America.
c. 1800 President John Adams became
the first president to reside in the Executive Mansion (renamed the White House
by Teddy Roosevelt).
d. 1870 the U.S. Weather Bureau
published its first weather forecast (what were the chances that it was
wrong?).
e. 1941 photographer Ansel Adams took
a photograph of a moonrise over Hernandez, New Mexico which would become one of
the most famous photographs of all times.
Reflections
on being a vegan on World Vegan Day: ” Taking B12 is the price of getting to be vegan, the way
wearing a helmet is the price of getting to ride a motorcycle and giving up
alcohol for nine months is the price of getting to have a baby.” Victoria Moran, noted author and speaker and expert on
veganism. Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my twitter account below
