It's Friday - again...

No reason to get excited - but it is The Mickster's birthday today


That is one genuinely ugly old man...

Born Michael Phillip Jagger on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, England, Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, has become a rock legend, delighting fans for more than five decades. Leaving the London School of Economics to start a band with Keith Richards, Jagger took the Rolling Stones to the top of the music world with major hits like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Angie" and "Miss You," propelling the band and himself to a status unknown by most performers.

Speaking of Keith...


Keith Richards has acknowledged telling some mighty tall tales and consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. 

In comments published in recently, the 132-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said that the secret to his longevity is that he keeps poking his on-again, off-again girlfriend Betty White (who just turned 140 and still looks pretty good for a living fossil) on a regular basis. In another recent interview, he's also retold the story of how he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine for what appears to be the 1,000,000th time...

Speaking of truly handsome gentlemen...


On this day in 1775, the U.S. postal system is established by the Second Continental Congress, with Benjamin Franklin as its first postmaster general. Franklin (1706-1790) put in place the foundation for many aspects of today’s mail system. During early colonial times in the 1600s, few American colonists needed to send mail to each other; it was more likely that their correspondence was with letter writers in Britain. Mail deliveries from across the Atlantic were sporadic and could take many months to arrive. There were no post offices in the colonies, so mail was typically left at inns and taverns. 
In 1753, Benjamin Franklin, who had been postmaster of Philadelphia, became one of two joint postmasters general for the colonies. He made numerous improvements to the mail system, including setting up new, more efficient colonial routes and cutting delivery time in half between Philadelphia and New York by having the weekly mail wagon travel both day and night via relay teams. Franklin also debuted the first rate chart, which standardized delivery costs based on distance and weight. In 1774, the British fired Franklin from his postmaster job because of his revolutionary activities.

Today is also her birthday.

Good looking, funny girl, I agree. I bet she's a real head-job in real life.

If you've never been to the Florida Keys, 
what the hell are you waiting for?

Nice to look at (sorta) but I can't imagine what it's like to have to carry them funbags around with you all day, every day. Gotta be a bit tedious...

This is a bit closer to my ideal... She's married to Kevin Klein - imagine that.

Cya later...
