RIP Alex Trebek
What is, “That’s all folks.”
Best know as the host of Jeopardy! since its comeback in 1984, Alex Trebek passed away today at age 80.
I would have loved to have a role in the HBO series ‘Deadwood.’ It was Shakespeare in the Old West. – Alex Trebek

Daylight Savings Time Ends
Clocks turn back an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, marking the beginning of standard time for the next few months.
This means that this weekend will be an hour longer than normal, but it will get dark an hour earlier in the evenings.
Standard time will be used through March 8, when clocks will “spring” forward an hour to begin Daylight Saving Time.
Ironically, standard time is no longer the norm. About two-thirds of the days during the year now operate on Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight Saving Time now begins on the second Sunday of March each year and ends on the first Sunday of November.
DST has roots tracing to 1918 in the United States, though not all places always observed it. Currently, it is not used in Hawaii and most of Arizona.

“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die”
Goldfinger finally got what he wanted. Mr. Bond, Sean Connery, has passed at age 90.
Sir Thomas Sean Connery (25 August 1930 – 31 October 2020) was a Scottish actor and producer. He was best known as the first actor to portray the character James Bond in film, starring in seven Bond films (every film from Dr. No to You Only Live Twice, plus Diamonds Are Forever and Never Say Never Again) between 1962 and 1983.

Welles scares nation
On this day, October 30, in 1938, Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of “War of the Worlds”—a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth.
Orson Welles was only 23 years old when his Mercury Theater company decided to update H.G. Wells’ 19th-century science fiction novel War of the Worlds for national radio. Despite his age, Welles had been in radio for several years, most notably as the voice of “The Shadow” in the hit mystery program of the same name. “War of the Worlds” was not planned as a radio hoax, and Welles had little idea of the havoc it would cause.

Today…
In 1886, the ticker-tape parade is invented in New York City when office workers spontaneously throw ticket tape into the streets as the Statue of Liberty is dedicated.
In 1929, the New York Stock Exchange crashes in what will be called the Crash of ’29 or Black Tuesday, ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression.
In 1960, in Louisville, Kentucky, Cassius Clay (who later takes the name Muhammad Ali) wins his first professional fight.
In 1969, the first-ever computer-to-computer link is established on ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet.
In 1998, Space Shuttle Discovery blasts-off with 77-year old John Glenn on board, making him the oldest person to go into space. He became the first American to orbit Earth on February 20, 1962.
