Hello, Bristol. Yeah, we know, big whoops, it’s Thursday. Let’s do what we can with what we’ve got.

Weather

Drizzle and turning icy. Yuck.

This date in SNL history

Alec Baldwin hosted, and Whitney Houston was the musical guest for show #14 of the 16th season. Among the sketches that night was The McLaughlin Group with Dan Carvey as John McLaughlin.

This date in New England Whalers history

The then-New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association (WHA) defeated the Winnipeg jets 2-1 with Tom Webster’s overtime goal.

Before a crowd of 10,007 in the old Winnipeg Arena, the Whalers improved their record to 30 wins, 22 losses and 2 ties. Although in first place in the WHA’s East Division, they had more total goals against 194 than goals scored 185.

Oh boy, look at the time. Don’t forget, measure twice and cut once, Bristol. See ya, Friday (maybe).

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.
