On this day:
1938 - The day after his "War of the Worlds" broadcast had panicked radio listeners, Orson Welles expressed "deep regret" but also bewilderment that anyone had thought the show was real.
1941 – After 14 years of work, Mount Rushmore is completed. If you haven't been there, I recommend making the trip. I was indifferent to it until we went, and the entire family was fascinated by the monument, which the kids christened "the Presidents' Faces". Photos really don't do it justice!
2000 – Soyuz TM-31 launches, carrying the first resident crew to the International Space Station. The ISS has been crewed continuously since then.
2011 - the day that has been officially designated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) as the approximate day on which the world's population reached seven billion people.
2017 - NASA Voyager is 19 hrs 30 mins 49 secs of light-travel time and Voyager 2is 16 hrs 05 mins 07 secs of light-travel time from Earth
Quote of the day:
"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him."
~ Booker T. Washington (1856 - 1915), American Educator and Black Leader
“Hate” is a strong word, one that gets bandied about as often as “love” as we ever are searching for words to indicate strong emotions. While I will and have stated that I hate liver, and have not only refused to eat it but never served it to my kids, the truth is that I just dislike it intensely [like coconut]. I have two ex-husbands, and while I still have some emotional baggage from the marriages, I cannot say that I ever “hated” them – never gave them that much control over me and the divorces taught me that the opposite of love was not hate, but indifference. It was years later that I found out that insight was not original, and there was a famous quote that reflected it already, but for me, the revelation that if I had strong feelings for or about someone, then I was ceding to that person a measure of control over my life was pretty stunning
Enjoy your evening….
