Hello, Thursday. Bristol has been waiting for you. What have you got for us?

Weather

According to Accuweather, sun, clouds, and rain. We’ll see about that.

According to the Hartford Courant, on this date 100 years ago

The Rabbi Lewis Browne of Waterbury gave an address at the Bristol Club regarding “The City of Tomorrow.”

Feb. 9 in Rock History

In 1964, The Beatles appear on The Ed Sullivan Show and carve their way through five songs, including the then-number-one tune, I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Factoid

The International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association says that in 2022 there were 130,644 snowmobiles sold worldwide; 53,821 in the U.S. and 50,943 in Canada. 

Screwy Louie returns

Bristol’s own Screwy Louie stopped by the TBE offices and found the GMB staff in the back playing paper football.  He offered up his latest gem.

Question: Why was the skeleton afraid of the storm?

Answer: He didn’t have any guts.

We thought so too. The GMB staff gave him a soda and told him to stick closer to church-oriented social activities.

Thanks, Frank

The Hustle

It’s been great, but we got a thing, we got to go, we gotta run. See ya, Bristol.

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 four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) 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.
