Today is the 18th day of the second month and the 49th day of the year: - Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day -- yup this actually happened! Elm Farm Ollie (AKA "Nellie Jay" and post-flight as "Sky Queen") was the first cow to fly in an airplane. The trip covered 72 miles in a Ford Trimotor airplane, and she was milked to supposedly to allow scientists to observe midair effects on animals, but really for publicity purposes. Since we don't have a lot of livestock flying these days, one can assume it did not catch on.
- Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day
- Drink Wine Day ((like we need a special day to have a reason to do this?))
- National Battery Day
- Thumb Appreciation Day -- let's hear it for the opposable digit
- Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day ' target='_blank'https://eaticecreamforbreakfast.com/
- The Great American Spit Out -- altho it vaguely sounds like it might have something to do with oral sex [yes I went there], it actually is part of a campaign to get folks to stop using chewing tobacco
- National Hate Florida Day -- because the rest of us are heartily tired of winter at this point. Try to remember the summer heat, almost unbearable humidity, bugs and alligators when you are daydreaming of moving
- Pluto Day: The planet not the DISNEY character…. On this day in 1930, it was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh (Note: New Mexico has declared March 13 as, Pluto is a Planet Day!)
In 1229, the Sixth Crusade came to an end as Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, was able by diplomatic means to sign a ten-year truce with the Sultan al-Kamil, regaining Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem with neither military engagements nor support from the papacy since he was excommunicated at the time
.
In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Alabama
IN 1977, the Space Shuttle Enterprise test vehicle made its maiden "flight" on top of a Boeing 747.
And I am back to work today and struggling with a backlog. Good thing it is Friday’s Eve, neh?
