Believe It Or Not—July 25, 2014: Another meager day of holidays
but you are probably on vacation anyway and do not need the time off. Hope you
enjoy what is posted, along with the factoids and quote from one of the great
song writers of all times Bob Dylan with a smile on your face and a spoon in a
hot fudge sundae.

for this highly evolved omnivore those great humans who love to cook and share
their creations.
2. Sweetness
Day—commemorating the
birthday of Walter Payton on this day in 1954 one of the greatest running backs
ever to play professional football who died way too early at the age of 45 from
a rare liver disease. He was known as “Sweetness.”
3. National
Hot Fudge Sundae Day—head down to your nearest Dairy Queen to celebrate
this great holiday.
4. National
Talk in an Elevator Day—celebrating those entrepreneurs who practice the
elevator pitch seeking funding for their dream and those otherwise shy people
who break the elevator silence and say hello to their fellow passengers.
On this
day in:
a. 1961 JFK announced in a real red
line in the sand speech that an attack on Berlin was an attack on NATO which
included the United States.
b. 1965 Bob Dylan went electric at
the Newport Festival marking a major shift in pop music.
c. 1978 Louise Brown, the world’s
first test tube baby, was born.
d. 2010
WikiLeaks released the largest classified military documents in our history
pertaining to the war in Afghanistan.
Spend more time listening to poets, less to politicians: “I
consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll
die as a poet.” Bob Dylan Right on!
