Ok Crap Fatboy! I'm sure everything will work out.

On a side note...my niece who was one half of a pair of twins born on Christmas Day...got married on 9-10-11 and had her first child on 12-13-14. Don't know what it means if anything, but interesting to say the least. :)

It worked out, but I still feel horrible “what month is it?” That was just so bad.

That’s pretty cool the sequential dates. I like things like that.

I have one more. I had a girlfriend in the 80’s and 4 people in her close family-sister, step dad, her and one other person(can’t recall now) all have the same bday 4/13 in different years. 3 different decades actually. 2 were born in the 70’s one in the 60’s and one in the 80’s all on 4/13.

Best
Fatboy 😃

I forgot to mention that my niece's husband has the same birthday as her dad (different decades ;) btw ). Numbers are crazy sometimes.
 
Speaking of wild birthdays my grandmother was born on 8 - 8 - 1900 on her 88th birthday she received a birthday card signed by then President Ronald Reagan .
A date I won't forget is 10 - 11 - 2012 my appendix nearly ruptured and I drove myself to a hospital 60 miles away because I didn't trust the Dr's where I lived back then ha ha

Memories.........in 2001, one of my many diverticuli perforated. I went from 100 to 104 in 15 minutes. I drove myself 31 miles to the OR. They didn't make me wait. July, a year ago, they took 20 inches of my colon and 4 inches of my small intestines out...the hard way. It had adhered to my peritoneum and they had to extract it from the peritoneum before they could resection it. They were in there for a long time. Doc said the cavity of my abdomen looked like fresh ground beef when he closed me up. A year and a half in and I'm still healing. Oh, they waited 3 weeks before they removed the tumor on my upper rectal wall.

Huey did a lot for Louisiana. He considered the whole state his personal property and looked after it as such. He also created his own personal police force/paramilitary unit. He was running for president when he was assassinated and many in Louisiana thought he would have been elected. He had fantastic charisma.

Only when I did some reading as an adult did I realize that it was a damned good thing that he was killed. Had he been elected in that time in our nation's history it is doubtful that the US as we know it would exist today. I hate to use the name but the closest western leader to Huey was Hitler. Huey would never have left the presidency peacefully. It is very possible he would have led the US down very similar paths to germany. Few would want to believe that possible but it was.

Huey drug Louisiana out of the past and into the present. Amazing the number of roads and bridges with his name on them even today. Hospitals too. Many more projects were planned and/or started in his administration and finished in the admin of his follower, OK Allen. OK lived up to his name. There was a varying story that a big leaf or a piece of toilet paper blew in through his office window. People rushed in but it was too late, he had already signed it!

Off topic here and more suited to NPR but Huey was genuinely one of the most fascinating men in US history. My reading on him was decades ago and I have forgotten much of what I once knew. We could still see the bullet holes in the marble where Huey was shot when I toured the state capitol as a schoolchild. Best I recall he was actually killed by "friendly fire". It has been a long time and I'm not really curious enough to find out.

Emotions still ran strong when I was a child and even young man. Some hated Huey, others idolized him and it isn't an overstatement to say they would have given their lives for him. An amazing man or amazing monster depending on your viewpoint.

Say what you will about Huey, Louisiana had several times as many paved roads when we was done as when he started.
