In 1080 Canute IV became the King of Denmark -- he came to be known as Canute the Holy and was cannonized by the Roman Catholic Church as patron saint of Denmark in 1101. In 1397 Chaucer told the story that came to be known as The Canterbury Tales for the first time at the court of Richard II. In 1897 an alien spaceship supposedly crashed in Aurora, Texas -- legend has it they buried the pilot in the local cemetary. In 1961, on Khrushchev's 67th birthday, about 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in a failed attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro
One of the "joys" of living in an older apartment building is that you don't have complete control over your heating and air conditioning because the buildings' units can either do one or the other. That means transitions can be a little rough -- the lease says the heat will be on by October 22nd and the A/C by May 22nd, but management tries very hard to be sensitive to the changing weather patterns and respond accordingly. Unfortunately hereabouts it tends to go from frost warning at night to 80+ days in the twinkling of the mercury so making the call to turn off the heat and do the maintenance needed to get the A/C ready to use is always a dicey proposition, and that means there are some pretty uncomfortable nights in the apartment. Adding to the discomfort is the fact that opening up the windows may help the temperature, but it sure does nothing for the allergies! When I moved in here ten years ago, the utilities were included with the rent, and that made the situation more palatable. But now my friends, family and co-workers have just gotten to the point of ignoring the grumbling for a couple of weeks as I get all cranky from the lack of sleep.
