Welcome to Sunday, September 10th, 2023. Ra will not begin his daily ride through our sky for several hours. Hopefully, I’ll be ready to fall asleep when I finish this post. Today is International Creepy Boston Dynamics Robotic Horse Day, International Makeup Day, National Grandparent’s Day, National Hot Dog Day, National Hug Your Hound Day, Racial Justice Sunday, Sew Be It, Swap Ideas Day, and TV Dinner Day. I haven’t eaten a TV dinner in decades and see no reason to start today. On this day in 1349 the Jews that survived the massacre in Constance Germany were burned to death. 1349 was when the popular belief among Christians was that the Jews were somehow responsible for the Black Death plague. On this day in 1869 a Baptist minister invented the Rickshaw in Yokohama, Japan. On this day in 1894 London taxi driver George Smith is the first person to be fined for drunk driving. On this day in 1913 the Lincoln Highway opened. It is the 1st paved coast-to-coast highway across the US. On this day in 1953 Swanson sold its 1st TV dinner. This is the day in 1955 when “Gunsmoke” premiered. On this day day, public schools were integrated in Louisville, Kentucky. On this day in 1984 the first episode of “Jeopardy!” was made with Alex Trebek as host. On this day in 1992 Lucy in Peanuts raised her Psychiatric Help from 5 cents to 47 cents. The quotes today are provided Paul Harvey who was a radio broadcaster for ABC News who died in 2009 at the age of 90. Paul said, “If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.” “Man, despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments, owes his existence toa six inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” “In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.” “The years don’t always add wisdom, but they do add perspective.” Last one: “Fathers are men who give daughters away to other men who aren’t nearly good enough…so they can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody’s.” Abide.
