Presidential Assassination

Historically, on this date shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas.

By the fall of 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his political advisers were preparing for the next presidential campaign.

There is definitely a no win in the fact that one month before the official season begins, part of the nation is blanketed with snow. Winter is not supposed to begin until December 21. That is unless you love long northern winters.

You Have a lot of Gall

Not me since I had my gall bladder removed earlier this year and lost 30 lbs. Here is my one and only proof, other than the mounting hospital bills.

I wish I had gall, and since the gall bladder contains bile which I'm told is very bitter that gives rise to the use meaning "you've got a lot of bitterness/rancor". And as one of my neighbors like to say "In any event".

WEATHER ADVISORY

The National Weather Service has issued an NYC Wind Advisory citywide which goes into effect on Sunday, November 20 beginning at 6:00am until Monday, November 21 at 6:00pm.

The advisory has been issued for sustained winds of 25 mph to 35 mph and gusts in excess of 50 mph. During periods of high winds, residents should use caution when walking or driving high profile vehicles.
Winds at these speeds can cause flying debris, turn unsecured objects into projectiles, and cause scattered power outages.

GOES-R SATELLITE

A new satellite will soon be offering high-definition images of the weather. The USA's newest weather satellite launching today will send back images our way that we have never seen of severe storms, blizzards, hurricanes and lightning strikes.

The powerful satellite can scan the entire Western Hemisphere in five minutes. The school-bus-size satellite, GOES-R was designed and built by Lockheed Martin and will be run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. http://www.noaa.gov/

Holiday Recipees

As the holiday season approaches here is one of Sabrina Soto's favorites, Plantains.

I’m pretty sure every Cuban loves plantains. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I’ve been eating plantains since I was a kid and I'm still not sick of them! I love them as tostones (with Mojo or ketchup) and also stuffed with shrimp ceviche (my Mom makes the best!)

Welcome Ms. Winter?

Wow, it's Winter already? The winter storms of the season will be arriving across the US, with portions of the Rockies, north-central states, Great Lakes and then the Northeast corridor expecting about a foot.

The snowfall may create travel problems for motorists and fliers eager to make an early Thanksgiving getaway.

These storms will also bring in colder air, which is expected to spread across much of the central and the eastern USA before the weekend.

The weather forecast brings an abrupt end to what's been the least snowy November in the past decade across the country.
