The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Easter Thoughts from the White Board - April 8

Ah, the joys of having a sinus infection.  Felt like somebody punched me right between the eyes yesterday, and I spent about 16 hours in bed trying to sleep it off.  Cyclobenzaprine helped that.  Oh our friend Cyclobenzaprine...  It's a strong muscle relaxant, for those of you who aren't "in the know."  I have very few left, and they make me really sleepy so I only use them when I'm in a real bucket of pain, which thankfully isn't that often.



Anyway...  I'm actually only posting today because I had a good parting comment photo I wanted to share.  So let's get on with it, shall we?


Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. - Clarence W. Hall

The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.  Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice.  But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice. - Henry Knox Sherrill

Those have a short Lent, who owe money to be paid at Easter. - Benjamin Franklin

I lied on my Weight Watchers list.  I put down that I had 3 eggs... but they were Cadbury chocolate eggs. - Caroline Rhea


The parting comment:

It's a good thing the kid is oblivious to how creepy that Easter Bunny looks.  To the tune of a dirge... "Here comes Peter Cotton Tail...  Hoppin down the bunny trail...  Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way!"  He's got that: 
I know something you don't know and it's really bad-look on his face.  Creepy bunny.
