Weather

It will be a good day to wrap presents. The forecast is for rain today and tonight. At least it won’t be snow, as the high temp should reach 54 degrees. Winds will be from the SE at 5 to 10 m.p.h.

Birthdays

On this day, in 1908, “Baby Face” Nelson was born. He was an American bank robber and gangster who killed more FBI agents than any other criminal. He was born in Chicago, Ill., the cradle of American gangsters.

All loyal N.Y. Giants fans know it is Andy Robustelli’s birthday. A great defensive end, he weighed in at 225 pounds, a little smaller than today’s behemoths. He was born in Stamford, Conn., in 1925.

And for all you cricket fans, Peter Willey, an English cricketer of the late 70’s early 80’s, was born in Sedgefield, County Durham, England, in 1949.

In the news

At 11:30 a.m. today, Donald Trump will say that the sun revolves around the earth.

At 12 noon, fact-checkers on the networks will state that what Donald Trump said is not true.

At 12:30 p.m., Republican legislators will refuse to comment.

Trivia question for Tuesday

All TBE readers, supporters and donors              

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.              

  • Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.              
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.              
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.              

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
