Yesterday was John Lennon’s 81st birthday. Of course he’s not around to celebrate it because some whacked out, nut-job blew his mind out with a gun.
But that doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate this special day in history when this Beatle was born, so I’ve got six links to online articles about John Lennon and a video of him snorting Coke.
And then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog this week. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

MBIP Coming Attractions
Monday Through Friday: I have the week off from work, so I’m taking a week off from the blog to catch up on things and kind of get ahead of myself here. However there will be a daily contest here where I’ll be posting a picture of mystery meat and I’ll be asking people to see if they can guess which restaurant served it up to me. I’ll be giving a little clue and announcing the answer the following day. There’s no prizes, but it’ll be something to do to keep the blog updated while I’m on vacation.
Saturday: We’ll be taking another trip back in time to post pictures from Peoria’s past.
