Today is the 1st day of the week, the 19th day of the 6th month, the 171st day of 2016, and: - Family Awareness Day

In 1179 during the Norwegian Battle of Kalvskinnet outside Nidaros, Earl Erling Skakke is killed. In 1269 King Louis IX of France ordered all Jews found in public without an identifying yellow badge to be fined [so the idea was not original with Hitler] 10 lbs of silver. In 1846 the first officially recorded, organized baseball game is played under Alexander Cartwright's rules on Hoboken, New Jersey's Elysian Fields [the New York Base Ball Club defeated the Knickerbockers 23–1. Damn Yankees!]. In 1949 the first NASCAR race was held at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved after surviving an 83-day filibuster in the United States Senate.
Fathers’ Day is always a very quiet day for me, for reasons that I have talked about before. And for the record? I called my father “Daddy” until around 8th grade when he requested I stop and say “Dad”.
 Hope you all had a good day today!
