one and if in Southern California you have found ways to beat the heat; as
always I hope you enjoy Wednesday’s holidays and observances, factoids of
interest, a music video by Manfred Mann,

chocolate covered insects, blessed with a positive attitude and secure

4.
National Chocolate Covered Insects Day—this highly developed omnivore
will take
a pass on this one.
5. First Lady Day—celebrating
not Michelle Obama or any of the other living
First Ladies of this
nation, but rather the birthday on this day in 1893 of
actress Lillian Gish
often known as the First Lady of American Cinema whose
film career spanned over
75 years.
On this day
in:
a. 1908 the Chicago Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers 2-0 to clinch the World
Series which has not been repeated to this date.
b. 1912 while
campaigning in Milwaukee former president Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest
by a mentally deranged saloon keeper John Schrank; consistent with his image of
a bull moose, the shooting did not prevent Roosevelt from continuing speaking
to the crowd.
c. 1926 the
children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh was published by A.A. Milne.
d. 1958 in a
what took you so long moment, the District of Columbia Bar Association voted to
accept African-Americans as members.
e. 2014 a snowstorm and avalanche from
the remnants of Cyclone Hudhud killed 47 people in Nepal.
Reflections on bullying: “Bullying
is killing our kids. Being different is killing our kids and the kids who are
bullying are dying inside. We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or
they are bullying. They are all in pain.” Cat Cora, noted American professional
chef.
