Our spaceship (Earth) has arrived at the area designated June 27 2021. A lot of people on this rocky ball flying through space that made it to yesterday didn’t make it here. I am a survivor of the past, firmly in the present with expectations of the future. I’m as happy to get the chance to live this day as your dog is when he sees you walk through the door. It’s National Ice Cream Cake Day, National Bingo Day, National Decide To Be Married Day, Sunglasses Day and National Indian Pudding Day which is a baked custard pudding made with cornmeal, milk, eggs, and sweetened with molasses. Yummy sounding. On this day in 1652 New Amsterdam (now New York City) enacted the first speed limit law in North America. Probably a “No Gallop” zone. This date in 1693 sees the 1st women’s magazine “Ladies’ Mercury” published in London. This is the date in 1894 that American Annie Londonderry set out from Boston to become the first woman to bicycle around the world, which she did by September 1895. This is the day in 1954 CIA-sponsored rebels overthrew the elected government of Guatemala. Finally, This day in 1977 in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court allowed lawyers to advertise. Morgan and Morgan decide to do it. This is the day in 1880 that Helen Keller started her life. Helen said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” This date in 2001 that Jack Lemmon’s life stopped. He was 76. Jack said, “Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.” Both quotes seem to be correct. Now it’s time to start my day. Abide.
