Ida May Fuller of Brattlebor, Vermont
was the first U.S. citizen to receive
a Social Security check.
She lived to be over 100 and collected her first check in 1940.
She collected over $20,000 in total benefits.
In southern France, some people burn a log in their homes
from Christmas Eve until New Year’s Day.
This stems from an ancient tradition in which farmers
would use part of the log to ensure
a plentiful harvest the following year.
The nickname "Tinsel Town" was coined by Oscar Levant,
the pianist, composer who observed:
"Strip the phoney tinsel off Hollywood,
and you'll find the real tinsel underneath.
The practice of naming hurricanes began early this century
when an Australian weather forecaster decided to insult politicians
he didn't like by naming devastating tropical storms after them.
The British idiom “off one’s chump” means “crazy.”
It was still snowing lightly at the beachy homestead,
but I think it was on its way out.
Roads were in good shape. The ride in was uneventful.
Some school closings; mostly delays.
Looking like we'll get a one-two punch out of this storm.
We very seldom get a significant snowfall
when the system comes from the north.
So I'm not too worried.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
