Consider This

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOLEkCMgQek

I've been thinking about what you said

It's been going around in my head

I've been thinking about what you were

It's a messy messed up blur

and when the con was over

one thing I learned:

I think you'd be better off if you were dead

think your check might last a year?

aint got no worries...

aint got no fear...

you change so fast you're such a creep

you make me feel so very cheap

and when the heist was over

I guess I got burned

I think you'd be better off if you were dead

TGIF: Good Girl

Ya know what you call this girl?
Darling!

History

• Treaty of San Ildefonso: secret pact in which Spain ceded Louisiana to France was signed (1800)
• Yosemite National Park: central California preserve called "the greatest marvel of the continent" was established (1890)
• Henry Ford introduced the first mass-produced automobile on the market. The 2-seater Model T cost $825. By 1927, when the Model T was phased out, production had become so streamlined that dealers were able to reduce the price to $300. While Ford did not invent the assembly line, he made it so much more efficient that it revolutionized the industry. In the very early days, it took 12 hours to produce an automobile. By 1913, when Ford opened his new, more efficient Model T factory, it took only 93 minutes; by the time the last Model Ts rolled off the line in 1927, a car was produced every 24 seconds. (1908)
• Walt Disney World: world's largest resort opened its doors southwest of Orlando (1971)
