Ah those Romans! In 238 Gordian II, who was part of a 28-day rebellion against the Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax started by landowners who felt they had been overly and unfairly taxed, lost the Battle of Carthage against the Numidian forces and is killed. Gordian I, his father, committed suicide. In 1955 the polio vaccine, developed by Dr. Jonas Salk, was declared safe and effective. Unfortunately polio has not yet been eradicated and is still a problem in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria -- WHO hopes to have it eliminated completely by 2018 And 51 years ago today, back in 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into outer space and perform the first manned orbital flight in Vostok 1. It seems fitting to mention at this point that @NASAVoyager is 18 hrs 35 mins 12 secs of light-travel time from Earth (2016:103:120000:1L)
Keys. We all have them and we all need them. I actually have three key rings – one for my apartment and mailbox, one for my car, and one for work. Why not keep it all on one ring? Well that was something that Frank, being a street-wise cop, taught me – keep your house keys separate so if you get car-jacked, they don’t have access to your house as well as your car. And I keep those keys in coat pockets rather than in my pocketbook [hmmmm, my daughter always corrects me and says “purse” every time when I am talking to my granddaughter, but my big bag is definitely a pocketbook!] because if someone snatches my pocketbook [and yes, that happened once to me back when I was 17] then I still have my keys. The work key ring is usually kept in my briefcase….
Usually. I swear that there is a black hole either in my apartment or my car or both because every now and then, the entire key ring just vanishes! There are only two keys on it, one for the door to the suite and another for the ladies rooms and I usually try to use a large key ring so that it cannot be slipped into a pocket. I keep the key ring in the front pocket of my briefcase but now and then, if I am not carrying my briefcase, I will put it in the pocketbook. On Friday I did just that. Saturday morning I took the key ring out of my pocketbook and when I tossed it over to the briefcase, I missed. At that moment I just shrugged and figured I would grab it later…. And I never saw that key ring again. Seriously! It was attached to a fairly large ball about 2” in diameter, so this is not something that is going to slide under things easily…. But I still cannot find it. I have looked under, beside, inside stuff that is around the entry way where I park my stuff to no avail. Had to finally give up after three days of searching and request new keys be made from property management, but I KNOW those keys are there in that apartment somewhere! Maybe I really need to invest in one of those finder apps….
*sighs* Actually I would rather believe that I have a black hole or Bermuda-type triangle in the apartment then load up with tech that I haven’t really needed before. After all, that would explain those missing socks too, as well as the cat toys that used to just vanish, never to be seen again, neh?
