Howdy everyone! I hope you're doing finer than a frog on a Friday night (you know they sit around and drink then, don't you?).
Welcome to our Thursday 13 meme. What is Thursday 13? Just the finest and easiest meme around. All you have to do to play is make a list of 13 things. We don't care about the topic, but if you want some ideas, you could post 13 photos, things that make you happy, things that make you sad, the stuff on your desk, the books you read, places you've visited or lived, your favorite colors of crayons . . . pretty much anything. It can just be 13 single words if you want.
If you need ideas, check out the link at the top of the blog.
Join in with Mr. Linky at the bottom so we can find you. We like to visit and we hope you'll enjoy visiting us, too.

Today's Fact
On August 17, 1969, America's Gulf Coast was slammed by a monstrous Category 5 hurricane, whose vortex of clouds filled almost the entire Gulf of Mexico. It packed 175-mph winds and pushed a storm surge 24 feet high as it raged into the US at the mouth of the Mississippi River. In the end, Camille killed 259 people and caused $1.42 billion in damage. (It came up into Virginia and flooded our area, too. It is the first flood I remember. - CD)

Today's Fact
On August 10, 1937, George Beauchamp decided to turn up the volume on guitar music. At the time, Americans were loving exotic Hawaiian music, but acoustic guitars just couldn't be played loud enough for large crowds. Beauchamp received a patent on this day for his "frying pan," a cast-aluminum guitar with amplifying electric pickups, which he had initially created in 1931.
