Throwback Thursdays ~ Fun Facts ~ 1.30.2025

Oh Dorie, I forgot that Punxsutawney prediction is just around the corner!

Hi Dorie Dillard Austin TX   I witnessed via the TV some of those things happen.

Some I wish had not happened.

Perhaps the one that most has made the most impression on my body besides the auto being invented is:

♦1958: On Jan. 28 The Lego brick is patented.

Lego bricks...I have a Love/Hate relationship with them.

That product has made a lasting impression on my feet over the years. We even had some out this week for one of Jaime's friends young one. 

We haven't purchased Legos since December of 2024 and have literally thousands of them in the play  closet!

They will be a part of my life forever...as I have given family instructions to put a couple in my casket someday LOL!!  (Being a Husker fan, I prefer the Red ones!)

Many, many years ago I lost count of how many times I have stepped on a Lego in my bare feet! Each and every time I say never again...and then...I say it again the next time!  Ouch dam. it! Or maybe worse...LOL!

I think Pete will do a great job as secretary of Defense. He is a quality pick.

Thank you very much, Dorie, for sharing this interesting list of fun facts.

Have a great day. We have a rainy day in Maryland and I am thankful that it is not snowing.

Hi Dorie... Go, Pete!

Sorry, I just can't resist asking if Eric Holder has gone trans! :))))

Now I know why I have so little "connection" to Legos.. by the time they came out and started becoming "a thing," I was getting past the age of toys.

Hello Dorie, look for your blog yesterday but glad I saw it today.  Hope Phil knows what to do when they pull him out.  It is a big event and been there one morning to see him when I lived in Pennsylvania.

Hi Dorie- glad you included Pete Hegseth!  There was a lot going on this week. I am too old for Legos but my brother wasn't and I do remember them as well as the Legos in all of my friend's homes. 

Hi Dorie:

Another interesting collection of historical facts. Like others, my feet have, on more than one occasion, experienced the pain of a lego or two underfoot. And I remember clearly the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Such a tragedy.

Dorie the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986 still burns vividly on my mind.

Hard to believe it is already time for Ground Hog Day! Enjoyed the facts. Edgar Allan Poe The Raven is still one of my favorite all time classics 1845 Wow!
