1528 – William Tyndale publishes The Obedience of a Christian Man [the full title isThe Obedience of a Christian Man , and how Christen rulers ought to govern, wherein also (if thou mark diligently) thou shalt find eyes to perceive the crafty convience of all iugglers], and is best known for advocating that the king of a country was the head of that country's church, rather than the pope, and the divine right of kings.
1535 – Jacques Cartier discovers the present site of Montreal.
1789 – The United States Bill of Rights is sent to the various States for ratification.
1925 – John Logie Baird performs the first test of a working television system.
1928 – The organization "Prelature of the Holy Cross and the Work of God", commonly known as Opus Dei, is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church which teaches that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity, is founded.
2000 - The International Space Station got its first residents as an American astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts arrived aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule for a four-month stay.
2002 – The Beltway sniper attacks begin, extending over three weeks. A total of ten people randomly gunned down and three critically injured while going about their everyday lives—mowing the lawn, pumping gas, shopping, reading a book.

He then planned to use the money to fund a camp to train children to commit acts of terrorism in the United States.
Thought for the day:
“I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

There is little doubt that if I go by their Facebook pages, many people [some of whom I actually know personally rather than just follow] live a life that is very much more fun-filled than my own. I keep in mind, though, as I peruse the pictures and videos, that I am only seeing the light-hearted side they turn to the public – I have no idea of the daily interactions, any struggles they may be having, or troubles they are not referring too. I have had way too much experience with families that present one face to the world at large while actually very turbulent and angst-ridden.
I’ll just keep trudging along in my own moccasins, thank you very much
