From the October AARP Bulletin.
OCTOBER 2, 1950-- The first "Peanuts" comic strip was published. I am glad the Chicago Tribune continues to reprint them daily. Gotta love that WWI Flying Ace and, if there was a Major League Baseball team that could have been Good Ol' Charlie Brown's, it would have had to have been the Chicago Cubs.
OCTOBER 18, 1968-- Circus Circus Casino resort opened in Las Vegas on The Strip. Last I heard, it was still there, but probably not for much longer. My favorite casino on the Strip is Slots of Fun back when they had the $1 Blackjack tables and 75 Cent bottles of Heinekin and Corona as well as the huge quarterpounder beef hot dogs.
OCTOBER 24, 1961-- The patent was approved for toy building blocks that became known as Legos. I was ten, but never got into Legos. They seem to be doing pretty well now. But, I was pretty-well hooked on the Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets (and what was the one with the spindles and wooden round things?).
I Built Many a Great Fort With Those Logs. --Cooter
