Default Ok

Just woke up but I'll try.

1. First night game, played under lights. They tried it in NY in 1933 without the lights, didn't work out well.

2. GW is currently getting buried in DC.

3. BO, Shortline, Reading, and Amtrack.

4. Didn't he get his lighter that air craft blown up? The Hindenburg.

5. Jerry Ford never got elected to those offices but Nixon had such a majority they got a carry over.

6. Haig made that gaff. That's Alex from Vietnam, not the British guy from WWI.

7. Geese or Strippers.

8. It's got to be water.

9. It wasn't called this for over 100 years after it was over, but it was the War of the Roses. (York were the White Roses, Lancaster were Red).

10. Greenland.

11. Tom had aunt Molly so I'll go with him.

12. It's supposed to be one but most of mine were scratched and probably had an average of 14.

13. Yes Miss Landers.

14. Mayor Daily?

15. At a train station in Buffalo New York.

Bonus: "Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail".

Stay Healthy,
Andy
