Today is November 9th! On the surface that doesn’t mean much but there are a few notable things that happened in history on this date. One was the beginning of the persecution of Jews which was a precursor to WWII. Check it out,
Kristallnacht (German pronunciation: [kÊɪsˈtalnaχt]; lit. “Crystal Night”) or Reichskristallnacht (German: [ËŒÊaɪçs.kÊɪsˈtalnaχt] (
 listen)), also referred to as the Night of Broken Glass, Reichspogromnacht [ËŒÊaɪçs.poˈɡÊoËmnaχt] or simply Pogromnacht [poˈɡÊoËmnaχt] ( listen), and Novemberpogrome [noˈvÉ›mbÉpoÉ¡ÊoËmÉ™] ( listen), was a pogrom (meaning a violent riot against a religious group) against Jews throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938, carried out by SA paramilitary forces and German civilians. The German authorities looked on without intervening.[1][2] The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed.
Someday it may be Constitutionalists who are targeted, or gay people, or even people of one race. Time for everyone to take a step back and as the Italians say, tranquillo, meaning calm down or relax. In any case, today also marks the 313th day of the year meaning we have 52 days left until 2018! So, what do you all want for Christmas? Time to get shopping!
Now to the day, Ty has a basketball game tonight, Jag has a light day at school and no practice before having 7 practices in 8 days, I’m off to Denver and Lori has a light day too as her doc is gone today. The snow is gone but it’s cool as it’s November in the mountains. We all watched Home Alone last night and even though we’d seen it many times, we still all laughed. I picked up sushi to go from Matsu last night which was a treat.
It’s now 6 am so I’d better get moving. Hope everyone is well. Take care and God Bless.
