His Name is Mudd
His Name is Mudd (1833-1883) It would be difficult to get through our education system without running across Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, the 32 year old doctor who tended John Wilkes Booth's broken leg at 4:30 a.m. the morning after Booth shot President Lincoln at Ford's Theater. Booth broke his leg when he jumped from the balcony to the stage, shouting " Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" From the theater he met up with David Herold and together they rode some ten miles to Mary Saurratt's boarding house in what is now Clinton, Maryland where provisions and arms had been stored for him.

Summer Is The crack of a bat, the roar of the crowd, the smell of popcorn in the stands A worm on a hook, a cane pole in his hands, a boy on the bank of a stream

The Swimsuit The swimming pool was free but swimsuits were not Cut offs were forbidden, I really don’t know why Not just my problem, but also for friends in my lot

Horoscope for the Gemini
Horoscope for the Gemini May 21 - June 20 Roughly eight percent of the world's population are Gemini, so there is no shortage of Zodiac Twins. They are everywhere and in all walks of life.

Gemini Horrorscope
Gemini Horrorscope May 21 - June 20 "Harpier cries, 'tis time, 'tis time" for the Gemini." With Saturn turning retrograde from May 23 to October 10 and commingling with Mercury which turns retrograde May 29 to June 22, the Gemini will have to maneuver a minefield of potential disasters just to survive the next several months. Shrouds of black litter the landscape and all that should be light, and threatens the well being of the Twins. Were the Gemini wise, they would hope to sleep through the four weeks of the Gemini sign that they might emerge whole on the other side. But, alas, that good fortune is not the lot of the Gemini.
