September 17, 2019...Do I Look Pregnant?

September 17.  Ah, what a beautiful day.  It is the 260th day of 2019.  The .260 cartridge was introduced by Remington in 1997.
September 17.  Raise a glass of bubbly to celebrate this wondrous occasion.  There are 105 days left in 2019.  KKCB 105.1 FM is the most northern radio station with the frequency of 105.  It is located in Duluth and it plays country music.  There are no radio stations based out of Wannaska.
September 17.  It doesn't get any better than this!  Today we are in the 38th week of the year.  .38 Special is both a gun and a band.  The band made it to number six on the charts with their song "Second Chance".  The gun has never recorded a song.  It is however a popular police gun.
September 17.  It ain't really summer.  It ain't really fall.  It ain't really nothing at all.  Okay, that was lame.  It is however the 88th day of summer.  That is what my almanac says.  State Route 88 is a California State Highway.  It is also known as the Carson Pass Highway.  It goes from Stockton, crossing the Sierra Nevada at Carson Pass, and ends at the border with Nevada.  I believe the Donner Party may have used this route.
You know, I can't help but think of my favorite game show clip every time September rolls around.  Check it out here.  It is so obvious when it is September, especially if you work around pregnant women.  Okay, so watch the video if you are confused.  It will all make sense...and you will get a good laugh!
The video, of course, was of an old TV show named Family Feud.  I guess it is still on, but I never watch it.  Like all people of my generation, I believe that entertainment reached its peak when I was 18.  I am pretty sure we are right.  If you enjoyed the clip above then check out SGSA on youtube...they have a great collection of Stupid Game Show Answers!
Speaking of feuds, the following battles happened on September 17.
642 AD Arab forces under Amr ibn al-'As conquered Alexandria.  This even often appears on the "A" page of kids' alphabet books.
1176 AD The Battle of Myriokephalon resulted in the Byzantines failing to recover Anatolia from Turkish rule.  The Greek Ska band Myriokephalen is not named after this battle.
Ah September 17...so much can be attributed to you.  Let us not take you lightly!  See y'all in a week.  JCP

    And Mr. Cocoa Pops, if you had chose the Wiktel page as your homepage---hell, you'd known that too. Even Chairman Joe gets on there sometimes.

    Thank you for that link to that Family Feud/September answer show--now that was FUNNY. .
