Let's start with a little history, shall we? On this day in 1872, the Dei Gratia, a small British brig under Captain David Morehouse, spots the Mary Celeste, an American vessel, sailing erratically but at full sail near the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship was seaworthy, its stores and supplies were untouched, but not a soul was onboard. The last entry in the captain’s log shows that the Mary Celeste had been nine days and 500 miles away from where the ship was found by the Dei Gratia. Apparently, the Mary Celeste had been drifting toward Genoa on her intended course for 11 days with no one at the wheel to guide her. Captain Briggs, his family, and the crew of the vessel were never found, and the reason for the abandonment of the Mary Celeste has never been determined.Also-On this day in 1942 in Warsaw, a group of Polish Christians put their own lives at risk when they set up the Council for the Assistance of the Jews. The group was led by two women, Zofia Kossak and Wanda Filipowicz. The fates of Kossak and Filipowicz are unclear so it is uncertain whether their mission was successful, but the very fact that they established the Council is evidence that some brave souls were willing to risk everything to help persecuted Jews. Kossak and Filipowicz were not alone in their struggle to help; in fact, only two days after the Council was established, the SS, Hitler’s “political” terror police force, rounded up 23 men, women, and children, and locked some in a cottage and some in a barn—then burned them alive. Their crime: suspicion of harboring Jews.And-On this day in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson departs Washington, D.C., on the first European trip by a U.S. president. After nine days at sea aboard the S.S. George Washington, Wilson arrived at Brest, France, and traveled by land to Versailles, where he headed the American delegation to the peace conference seeking an official end to World War I. At Versailles, Wilson’s hopes for a “just and stable peace” were opposed by the other victorious Allies, and the final treaty, which called for stiff war reparations from the former Central Powers, was regarded with increasing bitterness in Germany. President Woodrow Wilson was awarded the 1920 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring peace to Europe. Good to see SpaceX in the news. If only it was not a private company. Lots of rumors and some actual talks between tobacco and beverage companies with marijuana companies. Like to see $ACB and $CRON mentioned as I have shares in both. Bitcoin down but Gold and Crude are up pre-market. Interested to see if this means anything. I am a shareholder in $DIS and provided no pushback. None. This is the day The Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. A mention of ending EV subsidies and no mention of Tesla? OK. Where is Jon Corzine and what does MF Global think of the Edge web browser? Where is Marissa Mayer and will she be included in Yahoo's Secret Santa this year? Have a great day everyone. Stay safe, sage, and sane out there. Excelsior! Make your day a great one! via @deercreekvols
