The company traces its origins to 1899 when Herman Bergdorf, an immigrant from Alsace, opened a tailor shop just above Union Square in downtown Manhattan.

Edwin Goodman, a 23-year-old merchant, based in Lockport, New York, moved to New York City to work as an apprentice for Bergdorf.[2] Within two years, Goodman had raised enough money to purchase an interest in the business, which was renamed Bergdorf Goodman in 1901.

Elijah

Elijah Taken to Heaven. 2 Kings 2:10 - 12

10 He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

11 As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.

12 Elisha saw it and cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.

Date: 1886 or earlier. Author unknown artist from Carl Poellath's atelier in Schrobenhausen.

Ezekiel

Ezekiel 15 - 21 Vision of the Four Wheels

15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.

18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Ezekiel


Ezekiel

20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

A great day to watch the Baltimore Orioles vs Yanks at Yankee Stadium. Just a 35 minute ride from our apartment on the UpperWestside via the number 2 express train to 149th street Grand Concourse the Bronx and transfer to 4 0ne stop to 161st street Yankee Stadium. Yanks won 16 to 3 :)

You can watch a baseball game and see something you've never seen before, in this case Aaron Judge hitting the hardest hit homerun ever recorded 120 miles per hour exit velocity.

FOREIGN MINISTER AL-JUBEIR: I believe that – I – I believe that no two countries are working as closely in fighting terrorism, and in particular ISIS, as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States. This has been the case for a number of years. We are intensifying our efforts. The conference that the Secretary hosted in Washington yesterday was a huge success and reinforced the determination of the civilized world to take on this evil and to defeat it, God willing.
