please don't take my sunshine away....

Today is the 2nd day of the 34th week, the 21st day of the 8th month, the 233rd day of 2017, and: 
  • Cupcake Day
  • National Brazilian Blowout Day
  • National Spumoni Day
  • Poet's Day
  • Senior Citizens Day
  • Stay Home with Your Kids Day
ON THIS DAY:  In 959 Eraclus became the 25th bishop of Liège.  In 1770 James Cook formally claimed eastern Australia for Great Britain, naming it New South Wales.  In 1821 Jarvis Island was discovered by the crew of the ship, Eliza Frances.  In 1883 an F5 tornado struck Rochester, Minnesota, leading to the creation of the Mayo Clinic.  In 1888 the first successful adding machine in the United States was patented by William Seward Burroughs.  In 1897 Oldsmobile, a brand of American automobiles, was founded.  In 1911 the Mona Lisa was stolen by, Vincenzo Perugia, a Louvre employee.  In 1957 the Soviet Union successfully conducted a long-range test flight of the R-7 Semyorka, the first intercontinental ballistic missile.  In 1961 American country music singer Patsy Cline returned to record producer Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville, Tennessee to record her vocals to Willie Nelson's "Crazy", which would become her signature song.  Also in 1961 Motown released what would be its first #1 hit, "Please Mr. Postman" by The Marvelettes.  In 2000 Tiger Woods, American professional golfer, won the 82nd PGA Championship and became the first golfer since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win 3 majors in a calendar year.  In2017 a total eclipse of the sun traverses the continental United States.

 

Quote of the day:

There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end.”

~ Neil deGrasse Tyson

 

In this day and age when “truth” is all too often a relative term and “facts” seem all to malleable and even have alternatives, I have to agree, it is comforting to see the intricate dance of the sun and moon arrive and depart exactly as expected.
