Happy Wednesday morning .. those nasty winds died down and a nice day on tap today, but things are changing for tonight (more later). April 2nd, lets take a look back .. 1513, explorer Ponce de Leon landed in what he named Florida .. 1792, Congress authorized the U.S. Mint .. 1889, aluminum was patented .. 1927, the first automatic record changer was introduced by RCA .. 1929, the yo-yo was introduced .. 1972, Burt Reynolds had his centerfold in Cosmo .. 1978, Dallas premiered on CBS .. and in 1985, the album We Are the World went gold, a day after its release. Born April 2nd were Casanova in 1725 .. Hans Christian Andersen in 1805 .. Walter Chrysler in 1875 .. Buddy Ebsen in 08 .. Herbert Mills in 12 .. Lou Monte in 17 .. Jack Webb in 20 ..

Edwin Starr in 03 and Pope John Paul II in 2005. Tigers/Royals today at 1, Super Max pitches (hes 5-0 vs. the Royals in the last two years) .. Red Wings/Boston tonight (Bruins are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games and have best record in the NHL, but our Wings have beaten them 2 out of 3 so far this season) .. Pistons in Indiana (another loss) .. an arrest warrant out for Pat Boone. Hes been ordered to testify concerning cruise ship condos. A messy mix of freezing rain/snow/rain overnight thru tomorrow night. However temps should keep anything from sticking (hopefully), then very high winds expected Friday. Enjoy the sun ..
