100 Years Ago

I would have been an outlaw on the run for murder.
Stolen from Father Dan
From the Evening News
January 6 1905
A woman, giving evidence against her husband in Salford yesterday on a charge of assault, was admonished by the Stipendiary. Mr Makinson said: `This is the way with you women. You chatter, chatter until you irritate. You get the man mad, then you get struck and come here. Try to keep your mouth shut and you will get on better'.

Houston, where?

I put my location as Houston USA on a program, and up popped these selections:
Houston, Alabama, United States
Houston, Alaska, United States
Houston, Arkansas, United States
Houston, Colorado, United States
Houston, Delaware, United States
Houston, Delaware, United States
Houston, Florida, United States
Houston, Georgia, United States
Houston, Idaho, United States
Houston, Illinois, United States
I entered Houston, Texas and the stupid program said, "We can't seem to find the place you specified on our database, please try again." WTF? They listed Houston, Delaware twice and never heard of Houston, Texas?
Sign me,
An irritated Texan.
