LOS ANGELES ANGELS

The Los Angeles Angels MLB team is a redundant name. "Los Angeles" translates to "The Angels", so Los Angeles Angels literally means "The Angels Angels".

BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA

Brooksville was named in 1856 to honor Preston Brooks, a Democratic congressman from South Carolina. Brooks was an extreme advocate of chattel slavery. In 1856, Massachusetts senator and staunch abolitionist Charles Sumner gave an impassioned speech condemning slavery, in which he insulted Brooks’ relative, Senator Andrew Butler. In response, Brooks attacked Sumner with a cane on the floor of the Senate, severely injuring him; Brooks did not stop until physically restrained by others.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Stephen Waddle was born in Beloit, Wisconsin at 9:09 a.m.on 9/19/1999 and weighed 9 pounds and 9 ounces.

The hospital attempted to find a room for him with a 9 in it, but none were available, and he wound up in room 2115. However, if you add 2+1+1+5 the result is 9.

COLMA, CALIFORNIA

Colma is a small incorporated town in San Mateo County, California, on the San Francisco Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area. The population was 1,792 at the 2010 census. The town was founded as a necropolis in 1924.

With most of Colma's land dedicated to cemeteries, the population of the dead—about 1.5 million, as of 2006—outnumbers that of the living by nearly a thousand to one. This has led to Colma's being called "the City of the Silent" and has given rise to a humorous motto, now recorded on the city's website: "It's great to be alive in Colma."

Some notable people interred in Colma include:

Cypress Lawn Memorial Park:

· William Henry Crocker

· William Randolph Hearst

Hills of Eternity and Home of Peace (side by side Jewish cemeteries):

· Wyatt Earp and his wife Josephine Marcus Earp

· Levi Strauss

Holy Cross Cemetery:

· Joe DiMaggio

· Abigail Folger (coffee heiress and Manson murder victim)

USPS FACTS - UNIQUE ZIP CODES

The lowest numerical zip code is 00501. It is a unique zip code for the Internal Revenue Service in Holtsville, NY.  Fisher’s Island, New York bears zip code 06390, and is the only zip code in New York, other than 00501, that does not begin with a 1. Fisher’s Island has a Connecticut zip code because the island is only accessible by ferry from Connecticut.

THE AMERICANS T.V. SHOW: PHILLIP V. ELIZABETH NUMBER OF KILLS

For the record, I thought “The Americans” was an excellent show in the beginning. However, as with all television series, as time went on, new characters were introduced to keep the story line running. This resulted in the story line becoming more convoluted and less compelling.

The bottom line is that it was good entertainment for about 3 seasons, with each season after that becoming less watchable.

As you will note from the following charts, Elizabeth was the more prolific murderer with 25 individual kills and 1 joint kill, as compared to Phillip’s 14 individual kills and 1 joint kill.(JKS)
