Dumbest New York Law EVER is Established
Brace yourselves.
New York now prohibits blacks and Indians from walking around at night without a lit lantern.
The white men in our hood are WAY creepier than any blacks or Indians we know. We’d feel more comfortable if THEY had to carry a lantern too!
Sigh. We’d expect this idiotic law from the mASSholes, but not in the stylish and tolerant New York.
C’mon, bb! You’re better than this!

The Winchester Mystery House is a well-known mansion in Northern California. It once was the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester. It was continuously under construction for 38 years and is reported to be haunted. It now serves as a tourist attraction. Under Winchester’s day-to-day guidance, its “from-the-ground-up” construction proceeded around the clock, without interruption, from 1884 until her death on September 5, 1922, at which time work immediately ceased.
The Queen Anne Style Victorian mansion is renowned for its size and utter lack of any master building plan. According to popular belief, Winchester thought the house was haunted by the ghosts of the people who fell victim to Winchester rifles, and that only continuous construction would appease them. It is located at 525 South Winchester Blvd. in San Jose, California.

May 28th 1892: Sierra Club founded
On this day in 1892, John Muir founded the famous environmental organisation the Sierra Club in San Francisco, California. Muir was a notable conservationist and preservationist and became the Club’s first president. The Sierra Club worked to establish and protect federal national parks, most famously Yosemite. Their cause received a boost during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency (1901-1909), who was a naturalist like Muir. The Sierra Club continues to be an influential group in the United States, especially as part of the environmental lobby.120 years ago today
