Today is the 5th day of the 38th week, the 22nd day of the 9th month, the first day of Fall, the 266th day of 2016 [and there are only 93 shopping days left until Christmas], and:

On this day in 480 BC the Greek fleet under Themistocles defeats the Persian fleet under Xerxes I in the Battle of Salamis.  In 1692 the last of those convicted of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials were hanged; the remainder of those convicted are all eventually released.  In 1823 Joseph Smith stated he found the Golden plates on this date after being directed by God through the Angel Moroni to the place where they were buried.  In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863.  In 1888 the first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published.  In 1910 the Duke of York's Picture House [now the oldest continually operating cinema in Britain] opened in Brighton.  In 1979 a bright flash, resembling the detonation of a nuclear weapon, was observed near the Prince Edward Islands -- its cause was never determined.  In 1991 the Dead Sea Scrolls were made available to the public for the first time by the Huntington Library.



Actually, “fall” has a very respectable lineage and is not just a North American slang word.   But whatever you want to call it, the year has 100 days left and the seasons are changing.
