Ridley's Believe It Or Not--This Day In History January 6, 2014


Ridley's Believe It Or Not--January 6, 2014:  Beginning of Carnival (Eppiphany to Shrove Tuesday) and for those who are downwind of you or who love to read Jack and the Beanstalk to their children, Bean Day; and on this day in 1912, to the delight of those who have a need to know why California may slide into the Pacific Ocean, the German geophysicist Alfred Wegener presented his first theory of the continental drift; in 1931 one of the world's greatest inventors, Thomas Edison, filed his last patent (died 9 months later); and in a testament to musical longevity, in 1964 the Rolling Stones appeared on their first tour as a headlining group, possibly performing their last headlining  tour in 2013.
            Is there the right doctor in the house? “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease…” Thomas Alva Edison. Wise words as the ACA kicks in while drug reimbursement rates drop and the costs of prescriptions and the relieance on prescriptions rise.
            Enjoy tonight's last BCS college football championship--Florida State versus Auburn
            Be you a Seminoles fan watching opponents throw in the towel
            Or a Tigers fan watching your team on a winning prowl
            Cheer for your team and the end of the BCS
            Finally, a move to playoffs and a true championship test
