The Last Telegram

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/06/17/telegrams-no-more-stop-india-to-send-final-message-in-july/

The end of an era. I do think that a bigger deal should be made about this. I can see a half hour TV special devoted to the history of the telegram and how it helped transform and influence the world.

Anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967

Most people consider Woodstock the ultimate 60's get together, but for me it'll always be Monterey. A great collection of performers, and the last time that the pop music played on AM and FM would be heard at the same time.
