In 1834 Cyrus Hall McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine. In 1940 the first successful west-to-east navigation of Northwest Passage began at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In 2006 Pluto's newly discovered moons were officially named Nix and Hydra.
Quote of the day:
“Aaah, summer - that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It's a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.”
~ Darell Hammond [American philanthropist, founder and chief executive officer of the non-profit organization KaBOOM! that helps communities build playgrounds for children]

The actual solstice for EDT [Eastern Daylight Time] in the Northern Hemisphere was at 12:24 AM today. For a guide that tells you more than you want to know about how it all works, click HERE.

All you can do is get back up and get started again, neh?
