YES, THERE ARE MANY THINGS AND HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT WE MIGHT NOT CARE ABOUT KNOWING, AFTER ALL OUR BRAINS ONLY HOLD SO MUCH, RIGHT!  Well we do know better than that but here are a few things that you most likely don't want to know much less remember.

 1. The first cataract surgery preformed in Texas was in 1847 by a German doctor Ferdinand Herff on an Comanche Indian. 2. The first recorded CPR see Genesis Chapter 2: 7 And God formed man from the dust of the ground and breather into his nostrils the breath of life. 3. The first Texas flag was green, white and red.  4.  5. The first cruise liner was named "The Ark". 6. The first text messaging was about 1844,called the Morris Code.  7. The first recorded mention of Deviled Ham, see Matthew 8: 31-32 when the devil was cast into the swine. 8. I don't know about this for sure but I think that Vince Young's first name is Invincible or just ask USC.  9. Seasonal Creek is really just a dry ditch.  10.  House needs TLC or a Ton Load of Cash.  12. Fat Free means they are not charging for the fat in the food.  13. The first Texas settlement along the Lano River was established in 1847 and the small town of Castell is still alive.

I could go on but this is enough of things that you did not want to know in the first place.

Don,

Up here, if a house needs TLC, that means Ten Licensed Contractors.

Veronica, Thanks for the comment and have a very good year.

Richard,  That is about right.  I just finished a coplete remodel and I think that I did use ten contractors.

Hi Don... Thanks for the chuckle!  I didn;t realize that's what Fat Free meant... thank goodness!  Now I can go back to food with fat that isn't free, but tastes a whole lot nicer! :)

Don - I do believe an earlier text messaging system might have been semaphore. Flag signaling has been around for centuries. I do like the deviled ham reference.

Teri,  Glad you commented, I am always a joker so most just comes from me.  I have always wondered about the name of Show Low, where did that come from?

Mike, Come to think of it we are both wrong if you consider the Indians and their smoke signals.

Don - I thought about smoke signals, but they weren't really texting, However, drums have been used for millenia
