It is now the 13th day of September 2023. My advice for you today is the same advice I give you every morning: Ignore the chaos, don’t listen to the 24/7 “life sucks” news, count your many blessings and enjoy this day of your life. You will have a fresh chance to pay attention to the chaos and be depressed tomorrow. The holidays for 09.13.2023 are Bald is Beautiful Day, Fortune Cookie Day, International Chocolate Day, National Defy superstition Day, National Peanut Day, Positive Thinking Day, Scooby-Doo Day, Snack a Pickle Time, and Supernational Day. On this day in 122 the Romans began building Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England. It was built for the same reason that our Southern border wall was built: to keep people out. Hadrian’s wall is 73 miles long and covers the entire width of the island. Pm this day in 1847 US General Winfield Scott captured Mexico City during the American Mexican war. On this day in 1928 a category 5 hurricane hit Puerto Rico killing 300 and leaving 500,000 homeless. On this day in 1965 the Beatles won their 1st Grammy for Best Group of 1964. On this day in 1969 Plastic Ono Band’s first live performance at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival Festival. It was John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Eric Clapton. On this day in 1981 the Atlanta Falcons tied a record 31 points in the 4th quarter against Green Bay. Today’s quotes come from the late great George Carlin. George advised “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” “Some people have no idea what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” “Environmentalists changed the word ‘jungle’ to ‘rain forest’, because no one would give them money to save a jungle. Same with swamps and wetlands.” “Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.” “If God created everything, he’s got a serious quality control problem.” “All the media and the politicians ever talk about is things that separate us, things that make us different from one another.” I like George, I also like sarcasm. Abide.
