I guess I should start mentioning what day of the year it is now that January is past and it isn’t obvious anymore. Today is the 37th day of 2016 and you have 322 shopping days until Christmas. It is also:
· Ice Cream for Breakfast day
· International Day of Zero Toleration to Female Genital Mutilation
· International Pisco Sour day
· Lame Duck day
· National Frozen Yogurt day
· Pay-a-compliment day
· Ronald Reagan day – Actor, Governor of California for eight years, President of the US for eight years – I remember him primarily as the front man for conservatives who were peddling “trickle-down economics” as the way that capitalism should work. 21 states in the US recognize his birthday as a day of recognition.
· Take Your Child to the Library day
· Waitangi Day – celebrating the founding of New Zealand in 1840
In 1649, Charles II of England was declared King of Great Britain in Scotland. Wales, Ireland and England were controlled by Cromwell – which kicked off a period in English history that some historians regard as a Puritanical dictatorship complete with near-genocidal results for Roman Catholics in that country. Charles didn’t take the throne until 1658 when Cromwell died, and became known as the “Merry Monarch” as the country relaxed.
Today we learned that the sixth man to walk on the moon 45 years ago started his exploration of infinity and beyond on the anniversary of his lunar landing. To date only 536 people have been in space over the past 77 years, and only 24 have traveled beyond orbiting the earth. Of the twelve who actually walked on the moon, only seven now remain.
I wish the politicians understood just how important it is for humanity's future to keep reaching for the stars….
