We’ve arrived at milepost 07.24.2021. If I was driving down a highway, it would be smooth, flat and straight. As Joe Walsh said, “Life’s been good to me so far”. it’s Amelia Earhart Day because this is the day she was born in Atchison, Kansas. It’s also Cousins Day, Drive Through Day, National Tell an Old Joke Day, Pioneer Day, National Day Of The American Cowboy Day and National Tequila Day which is the obvious pick for today. This is the day in 1701 that Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded a trading post at Fort Pontchartrain which is now the city of Detroit. This is the day in 1847 that Brigham Young and his Mormon followers arrived at Salt Lake City, Utah. This is the day in 1877 when Federal troops were used to put down a labor strike (railroads) for the first time. On this day in 1911 American explorer Hiram Bingham discovered Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. And, this is the day in 1965 that Bob Dylan releases “Like a Rolling Stone”. Today is the day in 1802 that the French author Alexandre Dumas was born. He wrote the “Three Musketeers”. “All for one and one for all, united we stand, divided we fall”. He also said, “As a general rule…people ask for advice only in order not to follow it; or if they do follow it, in order to have someone to blame for giving it.” Today is also the birthday of Chief Dan George who was born on this day in 1899 and passed in 1981. He said, “”When the white man came, we had the land and they had the Bibles. Now they have the land and we have the Bibles.” That seems to be the way things worked out. That’s a wrap for this day. If you haven’t been vaccinated, it’s time to be smart. Abide.
