4. National Guacamole Day—celebrating an absolutely great way to utilize avocadoes.
5. Whistle While You Work Day—celebrating not the animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but rather the birthday on this day in 1924 of Lauren Bacall and her great line in To Have and Have Not to Humphrey Bogart: “You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow”. On this day in:
a. 1880 the Cornell Daily Sun, the oldest independent college daily newspaper, published its first edition.
b. 1920 a horse drawn wagon laden with explosives was detonated in front of the offices of J.P. Morgan in New York City, killing 38 and wounding 400.
c. 1959 Xerox introduced the world’s first photocopier on live television.
d. 1987 the Montreal Protocol designed to phase out the production and use of substances that were depleting the ozone layer.
e. 1992 the trial of former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega ended with his conviction on charges of drug trafficking and money laundering and sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Reflection on ozone from popular ozone protection slogans: “The only thing that stops earth from getting fried is the ozone layer. Protect it and protect yourself.”
“Save the Ozone Layer or Give Heat to your next generation.”
“Earth without ozone is like a house without a roof.”
