Samuel Colt tricked an Ottoman sultan into buying thousands of his pistols by convincing him that the rival Russians were doing the same thing. As a reward for the contract, the Sultan was gifted a gold plated, engraved revolver for his personal use. See The Art of the Deal. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-05 12:09:15Copy HTML Good point, Tom, but I'd rather see the Art of the Colt. That must be one beautiful pistol. I wonder where it is now.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-06 08:03:18Copy HTML A belated inclusion (should have been yesterday) for astronaut John Shepard and America’s first launch into sub orbital space on the Mercury missions. He did experience weightlessness, reaching a height of 116 miles. When about to launch he uttered the immortal words….ok let’s light this candle, when he should have said firework, which is just about what they were at the time. He went on to walk on the moon as commander of Apollo 14 and became the oldest man to ever go in to space, how great is that? He served in the navy in WW2. He died of leukaemia in 1998. |

The Highlands of Scotland inhabited by a fierce tribe known as the Picts. They basically couldn't get along with anyone including their own clans. Constant fighting & mass immigration in the 1700's depleted them somewhat but the ornery disposition remains in today's inhabitants. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-08 04:19:00Copy HTML May 8, 1926 Sir David Attenborough born in the UK. Broadcaster on the BBC. I remember David on tele right at the beginning of the 60’s, a must watch man and programme, the programme being nature of course. Brother of one of the greatest actors we’ve ever produced, Richard Attenborough. David’s programmes are compulsory viewing and have made untold millions for the BBC over the decades as the whole world knows and watches him. |

Navy Secretary John Phelan visited Pearl Harbor & posted two tributes to the U.S. civilians & military killed on that "fateful day of June 7, 1931." In fact, the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, in what then POTUS FDR called "a date which will live in infamy." So much for a date being well known, eh? A remarkable man predicting the attack six months ahead! Should have been President with gifts like that. |

In the Baldwin administration the Astor family was well represented in Parliament.
In the House of Commons:
Lady Astor, her eldest son, her brother-in-law, Major J.J. Astor, her son-in-law, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, her nephew, Ronald Tree. In the House of Lords was her husband, Lord Astor. That is a total of six family members & Lady Astor had become the best-known woman in England after the Queen. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-08 11:01:53Copy HTML Pope Leo XIV is from Chicago. He is even more liberal than Francis if that is possible. One of the first things he did was criticize J.D. Vance. I wonder who got him elected?
