Re: January 5th


Missed one my friend...

 Statehood Day, January 6, 2012 New Mexico turns 100 today.

At our FARM and RANCH museum today they are going to do a "re-enactment" of that day here is the write up:

On Jan. 6, 100 years ago, President William Howard Taft met with a delegation of New Mexico residents and signed the proclamation making New Mexico the 47th state, ending a 62-year-long wait. Featuring professional actor Dale Liikala of Ohio as President Taft, the museum's living history program presents a dramatic re-enactment of this event -- 100 years to the minute after the actual event in Washington D.C.

Re: January 5th - Happy Birthday Clancy Brown and January Jones


Today is Friday, Jan. 5, the fifth day of 2018. There are 360 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On Jan. 5, 1953, Samuel Beckett's two-act tragicomedy "Waiting for Godot," considered a classic of the Theater of the Absurd, premiered in Paris.

Ten years ago: Republican Mitt Romney won the Wyoming caucuses, picking up eight delegates; in a debate three days before the New Hampshire primary, Romney clashed with Mike Huckabee on foreign policy and John McCain on immigration. In a Democratic faceoff, Hillary Rodham Clinton accused campaign rival Barack Obama of changing his positions on health care and "a number of issues"; Obama replied that he'd been "entirely consistent" in his position. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady won The Associated Press 2007 NFL MVP award.



Five years ago: President Barack Obama hailed a last-minute deal with Congress that pulled the country back from the "fiscal cliff," but warned in his Saturday radio and Internet address that he would not compromise over his insistence that lawmakers lift the federal debt ceiling.

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump, in a series of tweets, urged



Republicans and Democrats to "get together" to design a replacement for President Barack Obama's health care law. Four black people in Chicago were charged with hate crimes in connection with a video broadcast live on Facebook that showed a mentally disabled white man being tortured. Friends and family members gathered at the next-door homes of Debbie Reynolds and daughter Carrie Fisher in the Hollywood Hills for an intimate memorial to mourn the late actresses.
