The high:

Today is the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian
genius whose work epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal and whose
Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (1503–06) are widely influential
paintings. Born in 1452.

The low:

On this day in 1955, Roy Croc opened the first McDonald's franchise in
Des Plaines, Illinois, and in that same year started the McDonald's
Corporation.


:)
I believe it was Ray Croc. First store was about 2 miles from my
childhood home.

If McDonald's was unionized Harry would be gushing about it.

Can you imagine the increased apathy of the workers at McDonald's if it
was unionized?


Maybe as bad as a bunch of pseudo marines?


Your jealousy shines through again Don.

Have you received a picture of Harry's 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat yet?
