ON THIS DAY: In 533 a Byzantine expeditionary fleet under Belisarius sailed from Constantinople to attack the Vandals in Africa, via Greece and Sicily. In 1749 Halifax, Nova Scotia, was founded. 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.
