[ Colorado has its USA and State Flags at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Monday, May 14, 2018, to honor the late Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan.“Today Colorado lost a true friend in Mayor Steve Hogan,” said Governor John Hickenlooper. “This was a man who went above and beyond to do right by the city he loved. He led the way to makeAurora the bustling, dynamic city it is today, and Colorado is better for it. He was that rare public servant who put people before party - my God, how we will miss him.”
In Maryland, only the State Flag is flying at half-staff to honor Baltimore County Executive, Kevin Kamenetz, until his burial day (TBD). ]

"And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me
-Nolan Ryan (MLB Hall of Fame, 1999)
On May 15th of 1973, Nolan Ryan pitched his first of, seven no-hitters during his career. His career last an amazing 27 years and crossed over 4 different decades from the 1960s to the 90s. He was nicknamed 'The Ryan Express' because of his devastating 100-mph fastball.
Monday Mood Buster:
After seeing Nolan Ryan's Hall of Fame plaque at Cooperstown, I learned that Nolan is actually his middle name.
Ryan’s real first name is Lynn.
So, I guess that explains why he was so mean on the mound. ;)
