I still watch the reruns...

Carson was hilarious.  And was never political. Unlike hosts of today.  I was watching Leno's headlines feature a few weeks back. Could not stop laughing.  Before late night Carson hosted "Who Do You Trust?"

October 14th, 1947.  Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier.

Read his autobiography years ago. Fascinating. Country boy with no college degree becomes the most famous test pilot ever and makes Brigadier General (1 star).

Beyond what they showed of his exploits in "The Right Stuff" it needs to be made into a movie...

On this day in history. 2 great sport moments. 1 good....and 1 not so good.

Kirk Gibson hits his shot to win game one. One of those "Natural" moments in life. Secondly....the Canes were robbed of another national title because of the BS Cleveland Gary fumble call and the refs gifted Lou Holtz and his saliva filled mouth a title. When the rivalry was one (if you can call it that) ND stole it that day.
