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.

Happy Thanksgiving

Feeling quite full just now, which is nice.  So much yummy food.  Hmmm...  So far I haven't said anything that lots of other people might say for Thanksgiving.  Let me see.  How about "I'm grateful for my family and for the blessings of the season?"  Yup, I bet other people could say that too.

My wife sent me thins one, via Facebook.  / Source: Facebook.com

Oh, here's something.  My wife set me up a Pintrest account last evening.  Don't know what I'm gonna do with that.  As I told her, "guys don't do Pintrest."  Well, maybe some guys do.  I don't know any of those guys.  Frankly, I don't think I want to.

But after she showed me how it works, and I saw that it wasn't just crafty junk and the latest recipe for the ultimate chocolate chip cheese cake, I decided it might be of some use.  There were some interesting things she showed me on there.  So I might not delete it right away.

Anyway, I'm actually not in the mood to write this evening, so I'm gone knock off here.  Just want to relax and not think too much.  Happy Thanksgiving yall.
