Bits and Pieces

Well, things in the country formerly known as Burma are about the same. The French tried to unload 1,500 tons of supplies in small boats to the river delta in most need, and the government turned them back. As far as I know, what the military hasn't grabbed is still sitting in Rangoon airport. And people thought Pol Pot was a bad boy. The really fun part is that the government is allowing aid workers from only four Asian countries - Thailand, China (who is currently bringing in aid workers for help with its earthquake), India and Bangladesh.

Bangladesh? They have a lot of experience with aid workers - they've been watching them since 1972!

It's mid-May, which means that just about all of Florida is in flames, from Miami and the Everglades to Daytona. When the arsonists are caught, a tall tree and a rope tied around their scrotum would sound like an excellent idea.

Now for On This Date -

- 1536 - Anne Boleyn went from five foot two to four foot three, thanks to Henry VIII and the headsman.

- 1935 - Lawrence of Arabia died after crashing his motorbike. A bit ironic after what he'd been through.

Birthdays:

- Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) is 64.

- Pete Townsend (The Who) is 63, a surprise to everyone.

- Dusty Hill (bassists for ZZ Top) is 59.

Yesterday:

- Dobie Gillis (Dwane Hickman) was 74. Shame about Maynard G. Krebbs. If you're not at least 40, this will mean nothing to you.

- Rick Wakeman, Keyboardist for Yes was 59. To me,when he left someone pushed the "SUCK" button on Yes' recordings and concerts.
