Ridley's Believe It Or Not—September 14, 2014: Trust
your weekend is proving to be a good one and that you enjoy the meager holidays
and factoids and quote from Grace Kelly without a cream filled donut in your
hand, a smile on your sunscreened face, a positive attitude, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for a memorable event, you know that
the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a unique customized poem tailored to the
event and the recipient. Another shutout win for the Cardinal against Army with
a tough game against Washington on the 27th. Tough loss for the
Trojans against Boston College.
I have posted on my blog a poem on
911 and Mike Kehoe’s bravery—I think you will enjoy it.
1. National Cream Filled Donut Day—here is a clue on why this
nation is becoming more obese—having another excuse to power down some high
caloric food.
2. Salivate Day—celebrating the birthday on
this day in 1849 of Nobel Prize winning Russian scientist who is remembered for auto response behavior mechanisms, e.g.
teaching his dog to salivate each time he rang a bell.
3. National
Hug Your Hound Day—celebrating acts
of kindness and affection for one’s four legged canine friends; created by canine
behaviorist Ami Moore.
4. Grace Day—bemoaning
the death of a great actress and Princess of Monaco on this day in 1982 from an
automobile accident the day caused by a stroke while she was driving with her
daughter who survived.
On this day in
|
a. 1960 OPEC was founded to the dismay of net oil importing countries like
the U.S.
b. 1969 the Selective Service selected this day as the first Draft Lottery
Date.
c. 1984 Joe Kittinger became the
first person to cross the Atlantic in a gas balloon.
d. 2000 Microsoft launched
Windows ME.
Reflections
from Grace Kelly whose name was aptly chosen: “The freedom of the press works
in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.” Grace Kelly Wise
observation especially if paparazzi are involved.
