A Special Day, Today.

Today is a very special day.  Today is my lovely wife's birthday.  Maybe I should do something special for her today.  You know, like take her to Wal-Mart. . . What?  You don't think that is special enough?  She doesn't like to eat out, so can't do that.  I will keep a thinking on what to do and hope I come up with something before the end of the day (grin).  We have been married for almost 50 years, so we have seen a lot of birthdays since we have been married.

There have been a lot of couples who have stayed together but one notorious couple, Bonnie and Clyde, ended life together on this day, dying in a hail of bullets from Texas and Louisiana lawmen who ambushed them.  This all happened on this day back in 1934.

It all started when Bonnie went to visit her husband who was in jail and she met Clyde in the cell next to her husband.  Later, she returned with a gun taped to her leg and gave it to Clyde which allowed Clyde to brake out, leaving her husband in jail.  Here are pictures of Clyde and Bonnie: 

Ain't they a cute couple???

They seem to be in love and having a good time.

But then, it ended badly and quickly and quite violently for both of them:

 

So, boys and girls, this just goes to show you that crime does not pay.  Now, you all have a great day and help celebrate my wife's birthday, you hear?
