We’ve reached the 19th day of May 2020. People are starting to stick their toes into the water, others have jumped into it. Some of us are still just sitting on the beach. We will find out soon which way is the best way. In the meantime, this is Celebrate Your Elected Officials Day, Dinosaur Day, May Ray Day and National Devil’s Food Cake Day. Did you know that dinosaurs were the top of the food chain on earth for 165 million years? All that time and they never figured out how to make fire, a wheel, shoes. I’ll go with the cake today. This is the day in 1536 that Anne Boleyn, second wife of English King Henry VIII, was beheaded at the Tower of London on charges of adultery, incest and treason. This day in 1883 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody opens Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in Omaha, Nebraska. A year later in 1884 the Ringling Brothers circus premieres. In 1935 the NFL adopts an annual college draft to begin in 1936. On this day in 1968 20th Emmy Awards: “Get Smart”, “Mission Impossible” & Barbara Bain win. Today is the birthday of a lot of famous people: Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X and Pol Pot. No quotes from these guys. This is the day in 1994 that Jackie Kennedy died of cancer at the age of 64. She said, “The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.” That’s enough for a Tuesday. Have a good day. Be sure to Abide.
